I lost my job after only 2 weeks of being there.
I enacted the most possible effort to do the work quickly and efficently, while also keeping in mind things like: consistently cleaning up our work station/the lobby (this was a food service job) and basically doing anything I could to make myself useful when I wasnt actively preparing food. I would personally say the training at this job was quite poor, as I would often be told by my "trainer" to do a certain task a specific way, only for another coworker to later tell me to do that specific task in a notably different way. (example, we often made bread at this workplace. My trainer would tell me I was "burning" the bread if I didn't flip it to the other side within 3 seconds. Then, 2 days later, my manager told me my constant flipping of the bread was making it "too chewy" and I should flip it less. This is ONE of many similar scenarios.)
This just increases my misanthropy more, when I am already at what would be considered maladaptive by most people.
I have also asked both my "boss" and my "manager" what I did wrong (in a cordial and appropriate way, though my true motivation for this was just to make either one uncomfortable.) So far, neither has replied.
Not to mention, I havent even been paid for the MINIMAL hours I have completed at this job. I have more to say, but really, this whole situation is not contributing well to my sense of "hope" for the future.
