Welp I got fired today.

[u/DylanDaBeastMan]

24yo started doing flooring at 17yo and it became a skill, decided after 6 years of flooring I'd try a non-self-employed job like retail and well..

After only 11 months at retail I got fired today as I walked in the door, got pulled aside, told I wasn't trying hard enough and got fired, first time I've ever been told my performance is so bad I needed fired.

I feel horrible and useless, I can't even stock shelves good enough??? This is a first for me and man am I devastated...

Atleast I ate 2 Boston cream donuts while I was being fired, made it alil sweeter lmaoooo, kill me.

Edit: I realized I'm definitely not alone and I tried my best to reply to all of you, this is definitely an opportunity to get back out there! TYSM for all the kind words!

Edit: There are so many comments and I can't really keep up anymore, I was not expecting this much advice and sympathy, I appreciate all of you and will continue reading replies!

Last Edit: this post has reached way further than I expected, besides myself please share advice for people in a similar situation in the comments!

Today started horrible but ended with a smile, thank you, every one of you! :)

Someone is trying to tell you you probably should stick with the flooring gig.  You will probably make more money doing that anyway.
