So, I worked for [Werkstadt] in late '19, early 20. Just before Xmas 19, the shop we were moving to burnt down!
Well, I was kept around until February, covering for other mechanics who were taking holidays. I was then told that they didn't have a place for me to work, and was let go with the promise that when the shop is rebuilt, I would be first in line for the job.
Cut to June 21. New shop is finished, and I'm given a job in a workshop 60kms away. After 6 months, instead of ending my 'trial time', it's extended for two months, because my shop is getting a new manager.
(In this time, I am also taught to use the computer to write work orders and order parts!)
Well, first day my new manager arrives, I'm told to closeout my toolbox (inventory it and return it to the shop), and give back my keys.
I've now spent the last two weeks bouncing from shop to shop, with little more than last minute notice. The District Manager has promised me that he will talk to me in person, but that was two weeks ago!
I'm paranoid that he will fire me again, because he has told me to my face that he's never rehired someone before (his assistant hired me back- keeping the promise made!). I'm worried that he's just going to rake me over the coals until the last minute then push me out the door.
This is in Germany, BTW…
