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?
