So, for those who haven't seen my Twitter, I got fired this past Friday. I was given an extremely vague and unhelpful warning during a mini-performance review (a few weeks before) saying that I needed to back off and not ask so many questions, so I did, and then this past Friday I was told that "people still had concerns" (it never got more specific than that) and that it just wasn't working out in general. In short, as best I can understand it, I got fired because I was too new, not learning the ropes fast enough, and everyone was supposedly too busy to train me properly.

I think my favorite part of this, however, is the fact that it happened four days before I would have been legally eligible for unemployment benefits and, subsequently, my (ex) boss would have been forced to provide a detailed explanation for why I was fired.

I consider myself a fairly tough person and I've made it through my fair share of setbacks -- hell, I'll probably make it through this one too -- but really, a person can only handle so many disappointments at one time. How the fuck am I supposed to pay for PTA school or graduate school now? :/

Sorry to hear about your bad news. :( But really, how else are you supposed to learn and get better at your job if you don't ask questions? o.O

Good luck and fingers crossed that you'll find something new soon again! *hugs*

Ahhh crap babe, I'm so sorry :/ What's that saying, when one door closes, it's time to force a window open? It'll happen for you, you're obviously driven. It's clear this firing has nothing to do with how smart, capable, and willing to learn you are. Those things will get you a new job sooner rather than later :)

I'm in the same boat. I'm jobless rn too. We can bitch together. Hang in here <3
