I was working at a company through Aerotek. Got a call yesterday and was told that the company was ending my contract effective immediately. Apparently, they felt I needed to be pushed to work.
To be completely honest, due to there being no point in lying to strangers, I busted my ass there.
The guy who runs the area of the factory I was in, and was supposed to "train" me hated training people. I was told this day 1. I felt as if I was walking on eggshells with him, couldn't even ask him questions about any of the 15 machines I was expected to run and fix without him having an attitude.
Aerotek's reasoning to me as to why they ended my contract was cause the same guy told the boss that I had to be "pushed to work" instead of finding something to do.
I did not run this department. I did know know what jobs were scheduled to be done next. Whenever he told me that something had to get done, it gone done quickly and correctly. I take pride in my work, and my work ethic. I've never been fired or told anything other than I was a great worker.
Including at this job, at the beginning.
This dude never said good morning, Hi, hello, anything. He wanted nothing to do with conversation, never smiled, and had zero personality other then being a giant asshole.
I'm honestly relieved that I won't have to work with this dickhead anymore, minus the fact that now I need to find a new job and will have no paychecks until then.
Not sure if I want to go through Aerotek again, or if they will even be willing to place me anywhere else given the bullshit they were told about me.
Another guy started the same day as me, and there were points where I was training him on things, yet I'm let go?
Luckily for him, he is 2nd shift and doesn't have to deal with that prick like I did.
Anyways, my birthday is tomorrow! I'm going to try and enjoy this weekend with my fiance and son, and start fresh Monday!
God Bless everyone 🙌
