Just got fired for “Insubordination”, let me explain

let me set the scene, I'm 16M and autistic. I was working at a DD and I was actually doing pretty good in since it was fairly easy. And then today happened. four people didn't show up for the morning shift, one of the managers included. So we were stuck with the operations manager. I was simply going through my normal things, doing the counter, etc etc. The time was approaching when I was supposed to have my mandatory break (as a minor) and was texting someone to see if I could meet them at the work Manager comes around and goes on this spiel about how she doesn't pay me to be on a phone but to be cleaning, taking guests orders, etc etc, essentially brow beating into me.

Manager comes around and goes on this spiel about how she doesn't pay me to be on a phone but to be cleaning, taking guests orders, etc etc, essentially brow beating into me. She said I had to ask to be on my phone in the case of checking a message.

So I do just that like 5 minutes later when the person actually responded. She straight up yelled the word “NO” at me, and continued her spiel about how her business can't run when everyone is on their phone. I said that the tone she was talking to me with was stressing me out, since my communication and tone perceptions are absolutely out of whack, and she told me that “If you can't handle the way i am speaking to you, you need to clock out.”

Of course I tried to debate this, But to no avail. So I call my mom, and I tried telling her the side of the story, And she called over to me “Tell the story right” and I say “Im telling my side of it!”

apparently she didn't like the tone of that, Because she said “Well now just don't come back.”

What a load of shit.
