After a couple of weeks of doing nothing to help, the new boss decides my work isn't good enough, and fires me. I know for a fact the other new hires are having the same problems, and are applying for other jobs, because of how toxic the office is. It's hard not to feel smug about the sinking ship. Feel bad for the service users tho.
