I was fired last week and i firmly believe i was set up to fail

i was pulled out from under a different boss and put under a supervisor, moved out of my closing office and given an additional task ontop of my already crazy work load. I was doing the job of two people. They waited to see me fail with this task ( a schedule) with no prior training but an hour zoom call. They justified the termination by not completing the schedule in a timely fashion (no specific time per week was communicated) after returning after 2 days off (one was a company paid holiday and 1 pto day) ontop of training an admin with a task i have been juggling since feburary.

They waited to see me fail with this task ( a schedule) with no prior training but an hour zoom call. They justified the termination by not completing the schedule in a timely fashion (no specific time per week was communicated) after returning after 2 days off (one was a company paid holiday and 1 pto day) ontop of training an admin with a task i have been juggling since feburary.

I'm taking this as a sigh of relief as this job sucked the whole essence and soul out of me. I was left as a husk of my former self, totally burned out. I filed for unemployment and have enough money for bills to cover me through may. They will probably fight my claim, kicking and screaming. In hindsight this is the best kind of outcome in my favor to be able to figure out exactly what i want to do that would be a better fit instead of grinding my sanity out even more after slogging through a work day.

I am looking at complete field change but WFH is a must for me. I do not do well in a full time office environment, however with all the reading i keep seeing. WFH sounds to be difficult to obtain.

Know your worth and find employers that value and recognize the work you do.
