Today, I was notified that I'm being discharged after two weeks because my employers don't have the time to train me at my first real job in six years. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my employer fired me, less than a week before I could become permanent full-time staff. FML
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
Today, I was let go by a job for the second time in less than a month, for the same reason - they couldn’t be bothered to give me any training or feedback. They even said I worked hard and had drive, but the wrong “skill set.” This could have been brought to my attention at the interview. FML
Today, I finished my project two weeks early. Now I am being laid off because there is no work to do. FML
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, I found out that I have three weeks to get better at my shitty job before we start discussing my "future" with the company. FML
Today, I was told that I don't meet the minimum requirements for a job I applied for. I currently hold the same job, at the same facility, but just wanted a day shift. Apparently I'm not qualified for the job I've had for 2 and a half years. FML
Today, I started a new yard maintenance job. Before the day had even ended, I got fired, because I apparently didn’t have enough experience, and I moved too slowly. It was supposed to be my training day. FML
Today, after leaving one job, reducing my hours at another, completing all the onboarding requirements for a nursing home, and dealing with serious anxiety, I was told they don’t have hours available for me and don’t know when they will. I got laid off before even starting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well that stinks. Offer to buy some books and try to learn it yourself?

I know for sure in Canada that's illegal, though I'm not sure for the U.S. Sorry, OP.

Totally blows! They should have prepared for a new hire. Unfortunatly so many jobs are "at-will", so they don't need very much to getbrid of you. Especially in the early days.

I know the feeling man...got hired to work a manufacturing job then 6 weeks in got written up for not working to production standards because I was never properly trained on pretty much any of the machines we use...as soon as I find just as good or better I'm outta there before I loose a limb into a machine I'm running that I was never actually taught to use

I'm sorry to tell you this, but that was just an excuse because he saw no potential in you. That's the reality of it.

Are you the OP? no. OP hasnt had a job in 6 years. Sorry but if I didn't see the potential in a few days I wouldn't want to put in the work either.
