I was working a pretty **** job for about nine months now. Even though I couldn't stand it for many reasons, there were some really good parts about it. I had full medical benefits, and there was always healthy free food which saved me a ton of money.
I had no real problems with management up until about two months ago when I started getting written up for very minor, trivial offenses that nobody had ever been written up for. Yesterday I showed up for my shift, security blocked me from entering the building and a new manager who I've never seen before came out to tell me she was told to fire me.
I had a union rep with me and he's on my side but the higher ups aren't going to try and help me out, so theres nothing I can do. My entire life was hinging on this job because I was planning on transferring departments and getting some useful experience, but now it's gone.
The job was a lifesaver for me because I was in a really bad place before I got it. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to transfer anywhere useful so the 9 months I spent working there doesn't give me any experience to put on a new resume. It was very hard for me to find a stable job, but now that I've had a taste of it I ultimately feel more optimistic about work in the future.
However, I don't know what i'm supposed to do from here. Like I said, my life was pretty much built around this job and now it's gone. I basically am getting a fresh start but I don't know where to go with it.
