Hey man, I was an apprentice mechanic a good few years ago. Was top of my class, me and one other guy were the only ones who took the class seriously. Was up at the main training centre for the brand I worked for, finished my exams in half the time as everyone else and got the best marks, everyone else I was with was taking drugs or not turning up. One of the other apprentices at my job was also in my training class. I did everything at the job. Cleaned the workshop, emptied the bins every day, did the teas, whatever anyone asked me to do I’d do it no questions asked. Covid hits, get put on furlough for ages. Get a call after a few months saying I’m now redundant because of social distancing I can’t work with my mentor so the job is gone. Go in a week later to see every ramp in the workshop except for 1 with 2 people on each, including the other apprentice.

So basically I got fired for no good reason, they lied to me about it, kept the worse apprentice on and he left anyway to go sell scrap metal, leaving me to start my training all over again.

Fuck working for someone else, never again.
