What. The. Fuck.
I’ve been working at a small company through a temp agency since November, and I really liked the job. I’d seen a lot of people come and go, and I never understood why as the work was easy and it paid well. I saw myself growing there and genuinely believed I had long-term potential with the company.
On March 12, I was offered a permanent position, and I was honestly so happy I teared up a bit. I told my manager I felt like I truly belonged there.
The next week, some personal stuff happened with my family and I didn’t get a lot of sleep. On Wednesday, while mixing dental molds (a task I had mostly automated at that point), I found myself nodding off a little while reflecting on the previous night. My boss came in, asked if I was okay, and I said I was, just said I was tired.
A week later, I was called in to speak with my manager. He brought up the brief nodding incident and then told me that my April 1 permanent hire date was being rescinded — though I wasn’t technically being fired. I calmly explained some of the personal stuff I had been dealing with.
For context, in December I had also been required to take a drug test, which came back clean, and I had started a new medication for my epilepsy around the same time. It did make me tired, and I wondered if that’s why I seemed “out of it.”
Then today, my temp agency called to say my assignment is ending because “work is slowing down.” That doesn’t make sense to me — why offer me a permanent position if work is supposedly slowing down? They even let go of a bunch of other people recently.
I at least want to go back and have my managers explain why they offered me a permanent position and then rescinded it. I canceled my Affordable Care Act insurance expecting to get on their plan, and my premiums have gone up this year, so this is a real hit.
I’ve worked through temp agencies before, and I’ve seen people let go for reasons that seemed completely arbitrary — sometimes just because a manager was having a bad day. I feel blindsided and discouraged. I finally thought I had found a job I could grow with for the next 10 years, but apparently not.
My manager said I should have called out the day I was tired, but I was just trying to maintain good attendance. Isn’t it a meme that managers still want you to come in no matter what?
I'm just so what the fuck is the point at this point. I'm tired of giving 110% at jobs and it not meaning shit. I tried calling my boss and he pre blocked my number as my buddy's phone was getting through while my phone went straight to voicemail, though he didn't answer.
What. The. Fuck.
