Is it normal i got fired from my minimum wage job?

I was fired from a french fry making factory job. I sat in front of a conveyer belt where frozen fries would whiz by picking out defected fries and watching for foreign material. 12 HOURS A DAY! I got fired cause i didnt "set my goals high enough." Really? If I reached my goal I would have committed suicide. Fuck that job. Worst job of all time.

I was fired from 2 previous jobs, myself. I also have ADHD, but I don't like to think that that prevents me from being able to hold down a job. Don't think that because of your ADHD means you can't hold another job because I'm sure that you can. Be positive and try your best. I've gotten a new job a few months ago, and so far, things seem to be going well. Just keep looking around and try to find the job that's right for you.

Don't feel bad. The first summer after I graduated from high school, I got my first real full time job at 25% over minimum wage as a shipping clerk at a warehouse where my best friend also went to work. We talked too much and tried to convince the regular shipping clerk who had worked there for years, that the pineal gland had been discovered by researchers to be the site where the conscience resided in humans, a very sophomoric type of humor for pre-freshmen. They fired me and warned my friend that he was next.

It's difficult to concentrate on a minimum wage type job if you have any imagination. If you had ADHD, that made it even worse. A couple years ago I worked with a beautiful 24 year old girl who took pills. She told me she had to because she had ADHD. I had thought she was especially well adjusted since she was doing at least as good a job as I was grading test papers by computer.

I learned to make a game out of trying to do better than management even expected. During college, I worked at a super market and joked with the customers as though I actually enjoyed trying to be helpful and making them like the store. It made the time pass quickly and management loved it as well as the customers. I'm sure your performance will improve when you take your medication.

I got fired from McDonald's as a teenager when I first went to the city. My bro also worked there. I saw the cockhead assistant manager {who acted like a wall street trader with a billion $ portfolio} 15 years later in a subway Wendy's hole in the wall type icecream shop at about 2am after a night out with my bro. I asked him to change $5 for a train ticket machine and the cocksucker said I had to buy something. It gave me great pleasure to buy a 45c icecream with a $100 note, eat it slowly while enquiring about his successful life, then bought a 2nd icecream with a fresh $100 bill. My bro did something similar but also told him how he'd spat inside every coffee and burger he had to make for him. Making light of it with a chuckle, "don't people do crazy things in their youth, nice to see you again Allen, we should do this more often."

Wear it as a badge of honor. You're better than them!

I got fired from the 99 Cents store; I couldn't remember the prices! LOL. Seriously, you probably were above that job, and deserve something better.

You could have asked why you were fired.

Yeah, though, this happens, especially at places with high employee turnover rates.

The first month is like probation. During your probation period they can fire you without warning. In fact a lot of applications will say that. Until you are off your probation period its legal to do this. If you cant keep up they can fire you. So yes its normal. The probation period is to determine weather you are worth keeping.

Some companies fire people on the spot because they feel like they can get someone more efficient. It's very anti-people/pro-company but I guess that's how some of them are.

Heck, I got fired for being too short. We were stocking shelves and I couldn't exchange the items off of the top shelf (but I could reach the other 5 shelves below it). I got fired that day, and I'm assuming they hired someone taller.

I did get a job at Wendy's. From my experience, if you didn't get something right away, they would put you at another position. For example, if you're not that good at making burgers, then they would let try something else to see if you're better at that. They also give you warnings if you're working too slow.

Stay positive! Even though some companies are anti-worker, some aren't. I wish the best of luck to you

Specially in low-paid jobs it's easy to get fired, it happens all the time. These are jobs that anyone can do and the superiors are just looking for the best person. And that best person turned out not to be you. Better luck next time.

Seems like ad/hd is an optional choice these days. I'm not sure doctors throw that out in the UK so much
