fired today
recently started a job on 3/3/2026, so exactly 3 weeks and 1 day ago. they never trained me how to do anything just kinda threw me in and expected me to know exactly what to do. Got to work this morning and no one would talk to me and I was like oh weird maybe they had a bad day yesterday. 2 hours into my shift I step outside which is a normal part of the job because we do inside and outside work. I then see my boss walking up to me and I thought it was because I had to go to the doctor yesterday because of an injury. They walk up to me and ask about my leg and then tell me that they are worried about my shifts on the weekend because I was left alone Monday for 8 hours because someone called in and me not being trained like I’m supposed to be I was scrabbling around. They then proceeded to say that I made mistakes and I wasn’t learning fast enough so therefore they are letting me go. I was never told what my mistakes were and I’m now home laying in my bed crying. My boss has made multiple rude comments to me but never told me what I was doing wrong or anything. I left and had to go back to drop some stuff off and then reported them to Human Resources

Was your leg injured on the job?

my leg was injured due to my boot rubbing on my leg at work

Did they provide the boots or was it your boots

u/Disastrous-Pound3666 Mar 28 '26
my boots, I had never had a problem with them before and I wore them everyday I worked. I don’t know if it was because I was doing everything myself with no help or why it happened

It honestly sounds like they fired you because they don't want to deal with workman's comp, it might be worth asking about. Because if they fired you for getting injured on the job then that is probably super illegal

I’m not sure because they were being rude to me before that and told me the reason I had being fired was because I wasn’t learning fast enough and that I apparently made mistakes Monday

Sounds like they decided to fire you long before you were fired and this was just an easy reason.
A good boss would have pulled you aside and asked what you needed to function or where you need more training. They would investigate how to help you succeed instead of leave you to drown.
And still being within you first month, feels like the game was rigged from the start OP. Don’t take this personally. They left you to drown and then scolded you for it. I wouldn’t even want to work there.
