Feeling like the biggest idiot who could possibly live
I’ve been in my head all week and I can’t seem to get out of it. I figured. Maybe if I type this out it’ll help me get over it a little bit more. I got fired a little over a week ago after asking to go part time due to health concerns. I let them know that I would need to be going part time via letter at the beginning of July which my manager approved and asked me when I would need to become part time. I let her know that the beginning of August would work if that would be OK. She said it would. I was leaving for vacation July 22-30 W-TH then came back on the 31st because that’s a surgery day and I’m required to be there after the approval and her asking me when this would need to happen. There are no other words. She didn’t say that that wasn’t a possibility. She didn’t say if they could work with me. It was just left at that anyways Back to Friday when I came back to work, I worked until one and took my lunch. The doctor that I am lead chair side with left for the day, but there was still a periodontist, so I just jumped in on her side when I came back from lunch. While of us away they did a work interview. And there was a Dental assistant that was meant to start the next Monday and I didn’t think anything of it. I just assumed that they got another staff member, but are around 4 o’clock. the manager came into talk to me, and she had an envelope in her hand, and I asked her what was happening, and if she was firing me, she said no, and we talked a little bit about how it was gonna work with me being part time with the new higher, but she would say certain things that would make me ask if she was firing me and she would consistently say no, but it was the end of the day. I wasn’t feeling well, so my sensors were just down. She started talking to me about my health and how I was going to afford my healthcare. Now that I was part time, and I told her I wasn’t sure, but I was still trying to figure it out, and she gave me something to sign in between that saying it was for the part time. It said in Big letters that it was the change of availability and she was still asking me about my health I didn’t see anything on there, saying anything about putting. I just saw it say about the change of availability, but then, after all, that was sudden done, we even had a conversation where she said that she needed my key to give to the new hire, but that I would get a new one soon. They just have to make another one and since she was arriving Monday, they needed it, so it was all to assume that I have his part time, and after I signed she talked to me a little bit more, and then handed me the envelope and told me that I was fired and not to come in next week. I was honestly in so much shock. And I asked her what the hell she had me sign and she wouldn’t give it to me. I just left and that same night I asked her to send me what she had me sign. I didn’t receive it for almost a week, but after I saw it, she made me sign something that said I was quitting, which I never did, and I never agreed to. And I just feel so tricked,stupid, wondering i’m going to put food on the table for my family. I’m in California, so I believe she also took away my only chance of getting unemployment. I want to try and fight and say that I didn’t sign anything because from my knowledge. Nothing on their. Head said that I quit. So I could’ve been a different paper but I also know that’s probably not the case. I did send them an email saying that that’s fucked up and that I didn’t quit and they were like too bad. Too sad. You already signed the paper, so yeah I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do legally but I just wanted to vent and hopefully this will make me stop going crazy. Cause I can’t focus on the past. I need to focus on finding a new job in this terrible economy.😭😭😭
