Fired without notice. Happened at my previous job.

I got the job i had before my current job in 2008. At the time i was a few months behind on everything and barely affording food. I lived in a town with almost no jobs in the SE USA. For example, when a lowes opened up a few years later, there were over 3000 applicants for about 200 positions. Anyway, so i got the job. It was a call center. Not a super bad place to work, until the end. It was there when i needed money to not be homeless. Some fishy things they did while i worked there: had to take a drug test (which is fine) and the nurse was in the bathroom watching me the whole time. Not that i cared, but it was weird. Had a bunch of middle manager types who gave conflicting directions and would “write you up” if you didnt follow…

He's literally the first type) I clock out at 6pm, this guy stays additional 1-2, because of the constant resource wars with other teams – to claw out better position for our team So, i think you get the picture. So one of the days, going as usual – i work on my stuff, my manager again on another online meeting via zoom, at the desk 3m from me. Then comes in this guy, who's his head and be like:…

my local reddit is definitely just a business/real estate cover

Every time I post actual issues on my City reddit, it doesn't show up but their postings are all about how to bring more money, business to our city. We are seeing unprecedented growth (in the housing market…same job outlook from the last 10 yrs) but it is all people bidding 50000 plus above asking price, i.e. corporations buying all starter homes and turning them into high end rentals. Since r/spokane is really or should be called r/inviteeveryinvestorandscrewpeoplelivinghere. I felt it was a task for the lovely antiwork crew to descend and rectify.
