I have only been employed since Nov. 6th, but was fired yesterday. Nothing was given to me in writing. My boss is in hotwater because of other situations at work and she was asked to put something in writing by days end yesterday as to how she was going to correct her actions as it pertained to customer complaints. I am her scapegoat, she fired me. When she hired me she assured me that I would have some training scheduled, this never happened. Even without training, I worked my butt off, 150% daily to make sure I was an integral part of the team. When she fired me she said I was wonderful with the customers, just needed more experience on the computer, but this is the part she promised training for.
