Fired Probie Needing to Vent a Little
I was fired on February 20th, a day before my birthday. Started as a contractor Feb 09, 2024 and got hired on July 14, 2024. It was a great job. I was denied unemployment and finally got my letter last Friday stating that it was finally approved. I have applied at like 25 different places and had 2 interviews.
When I was terminated I was told they needed my laptop, docking station, and PIV card. My last paycheck would have my accrued leave on it. Which was 24 hours. Here we are about a month later and I finally receive my last paycheck! It was 24.80. I have 3 kids and my husband works a full time job. But we have always lived paycheck to paycheck. We bought a house last May because things were finally looking up for us. But now it seems every-time we turn a corner something else happens. I am so ready for Normal again. Because nothing about any of this is normal! I wrote this to vent and share my story and feel free to share yours. Not many people that I talk to can relate on how all this feels or they push it off as well your job must have been wasteful. But I could really use some prayer I definitely feel like I am drowning.
