after a year and a half of no job due to disability, i had started a new job in late october, and was having a rough time between training and being put on the floor. i had several questions and needed a lot of help, just as everyone else in my training group. i sent an email to my team lead and my trainer stating that i feel like i need more instruction to better assist the company in what they do. my team lead miss interpreted it to think i was resigning, and wished me luck in future endeavours. i was confused, so i contacted my hiring agency and they said to continue working as normal they’d look into it and update me shortly. the next day, i logged in and requested work, and my team lead told me to contact my temp agency. so i messaged her back saying that i have already done so, and that i’m very sorry for the misunderstanding. she told me that they already have reached out, and that my contract ended yesterday. it was supposed to end 1/31/23.
as far as i know, my hiring agency didn’t speak with her yet and are still working on getting me my job back. but isn’t this retaliation? i was trying so hard and i was doing pretty well given i didn’t really have the help i needed. i really wanted to keep this job, and i tried so hard. did i really just get fired for asking for help?
