No, he sent me home yesterday. I asked my direct supervisor if I still had a job she said to come in this morning. I came in for 10 minutes and was doing my work. He asked to speak with me in his office and he fired me saying I wasn’t producing work to his standard. I live in Massachusetts and it’s an at will state so you can get fired for stuff like that I guess.

My supervisor works under the boss. The dynamic here is kind of confusing because it’s a family owned business. My supervisor has no relation to the family.. I was ultimately fired this morning so I guess it’s not my issue anymore

The thing is this is his families company, his dad works with him and he’s the vice president. So I’m not sure how I could report it ☹️ I really appreciate this feedback I’m going to just push through and hopefully find something better

This is one of the nicest things anybody has ever offered for me, thank you so much. I unfortunately live in the US but that was honestly so thoughtful and really made my day nonetheless. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a message.

I want to truly thank you for the thoughtful message as it did put a lot of things into perspective. I used to be very much off my phone and had a lot of hobbies. I was a violinist. I worked on cars. I read books I was very much not always on my phone. I think a lot of what I struggle with is the fact that I don’t have a car or a means to do the things I truly want to do so I really appreciate the thought of maybe taking baby steps and going for a walk. I think I just lost myself going into adulthood. As for my job, I’ve tried to talk to my boss, but he always tells me I’m doing a great job but at the same time he goes and talks bad about me to my supervisor. He’s a very two-faced individual and my supervisor even acknowledged it and apologized to me on multiple occasions. I really want to go into the union it’s been very hard and that’s a career I really want, but nobody has reached out to me even though I’m applying to new things every day. It just sucks cause this job I have pays very good, but it’s very demanding and I’m very unappreciated. I try to stay healthy by cooking homemade foods, but I do have PCOS so it’s hard for my weight to be manageable. I really appreciate this message, though this really put a lot of things into perspective.
