Got fired for this email I sent to HR

I’m writing you because you’re the most well-known and easiest to find H.R. person, and I wasn’t sure who to contact. I’ve worked here for a month and here are some of the reason I am already considering leaving: I've worked here a month and IT still hasn't resolved the issues with my computer, after sending 4 different people including the head of IT to fix it, they seem to just have given up even trying anymore. The network port and wiring for my cubicle are just hanging out of the wall. It’s absurd that if I don’t do the job I was hired for, I get fired, but when IT doesn’t do the job they were hired to do everybody just accepts it? My MS Office software often will not save or update because my computer thinks it is not connected to the network, and I have missed meetings…

Company I work for offered “Challenge.”

I wanted to post this earlier, but honestly wasn’t sure if I was in the wrong headspace before. After reading a few dozen posts here I think it fits. My supervisor pulled my area to the break room for a quick meeting on a Friday afternoon. We were told the company was giving us a “challenge” that if we accepted, we could have a 3 day weekend for Mother’s Day weekend. The challenge was whatever they felt like we should be able to accomplish in our usual week. So for my department, let’s say prepare and paint 5 truck bodies( I work for a company that manufactures utilities trucks of various designs). And what was the “reward”?

UPDATE – I’m about ready to quit my job.

This a quick little update to this I have mentioned to them before just about everything I had complained about in this thread. Today while walking around the mall with my mom, we came across a toy store that was hiring. Its 2$ more than what I'm making now, I'd be doing something I love (working around/with kids) and definitely wont have to deal with cranky old men that tell me to “smile more”. I got an application and I'll be filling it out tomorrow, hopefully I get it!! However, that would also mean quitting my current job, and even though they havent exactly treated me right, I'm still respectful and want to give a proper notice of me leaving, any advice?

Saw this at a sushi restaurant today. (They do pay their servers relatively well from what I’ve been told.)
