So, since march I've been working at a small company of about 10 people, that does low-voltage electrician stuff. It went well for the past few months, until rougly two weeks ago, when I used some PTO time to leave early on a friday for a doctors appointment I had. the following monday I was written up, in that meeting they then told me “You need to be completely accurate with your time card, anytime you are on a site or in the office, we need to know exactly what you are doing, to ensure you are being productive” and then they proceeded to talk about the previous guy before me who supposedly sat around all day doing nothing.
I was like “Okay I'll be more accurate with my timecard” and after that I started to notice that the people in the office, who often report to the boss have started asking me, quite often what I am doing, if I am in the office for that day, and if I was at a jobsite, they would call me and ask what I was doing.
As well, my co-worker who I often work with every day, left for a work trip to the branch out of state.
The day that he went out of state, they sent me to a large building downtown where they were having some issues with a security system. I had no idea how to fix it, as I had never worked with it before, they told me “Oh just call tech support” so it took me two days to fix it, after I got back to the office after fixing it, my manager chewed me out over the phone because the client was upset about the time it took me to fix the system.
After that they had me doing small jobs around the office, replacing small things here and there and other handyman work.
Yesterday I got to the office, and went to a jobsite with my co-worker to update something, after we got there I noticed he was rather quiet throughout the morning, then after that, around noon or so we head back to the office, Though we took seperate vehicles incase one of us got called to another jobsite.
Upon arriving back at the office my co-worker calls me “Hey, I had to go to a different site cause they needed something, I was on the phone with the bossman, he says you can call it an early day, you can make up the time later” which is odd because I was never sent home early before, and it was only noon or so.
After I got home I began to rapid-fire my resume out, because I realised over the past few weeks, that these were big signs that my boss wants me gone, and that they were finding an excuse to let me go. I also oddly never recieved a copy of the write-up, despite them telling me they would email it to me.
I do have ADHD and Autism which makes keeping a job really difficult. I'm unsure how I'm going to deal with my spotty work history.
As well, I am unsure if trades are right for me, as I've been doing these kind of jobs for the past 5 or so years, and I don't last very long at them, I'm trying to figure out if I want to go back to college or something, I don't want to work in trades anymore.
