Antiwork

Started a new job at a grocery store warehouse about 3 weeks ago. Was working today and was working slow, because I'm still learning, and a coworker came behind me in a pallet jack and cursed me out and threatened to punch me because I was moving slow. I went to a manager and their response was that its the work environment and nothing they could really do since I didn't catch his name. I left my equipment in the office and walked out. Feels good

So, today my manager called me on my day off to tell me that I was fired. When I asked why she said that she couldn’t say. Well, later today she texts me and asked if I wanted to come in tomorrow for some “clarity.” So, I immediately asked why she couldn’t just tell me over the phone, but she was adamant that I had to come in if I wanted to know. This whole situation feels off to me. Has anyone had an experience like this before? Is there a potentially nefarious reason that she would want me to come in? For reference, I have no clue why I was fired. I had been with them for almost three months and my last review I was told I was doing an “excellent” job by said manger, which was two weeks ago. Thanks for your time and responses.

I just wanted to share this cause it still irks me to this day. I was working as a contractor for a company that was slowly becoming very strict about their driving rules.

Anyways one day I get to the shop and the manager pulls me aside and says someone called in on me saying I cut them off and ran them off the road… me completely clueless what the hell he’s talking about just told him to check the million cameras they have installed on the truck and show me where I cut someone off. 2 weeks later I get an email from the HR department that in a week from the date of the email I’m due for a 1 day (8 hours) safety orientation followed by…

Has anyone else started a job that they were told during the interview process would be a hybrid position, then started and found out that wasn’t the case? I was told my position would be hybrid and I’d be able to flexibly work from home. When I started, my boss wanted me in the office for a couple months just at first and then we could “discuss how a hybrid model would work for our team” – even though she works from home whenever she wants but I’m still expected at the office. I’ve been in my position for 5 months now, and I asked about it again today to be told it won’t be happening anyyyyytime soon. She wants me and my team to be visible and present for higher ups to come chat with, and for us to collaborate with each other. Also, we have an intern starting…
