If you were this obtuse at work, it is no wonder you were terminated.

How has anything I have done here in this thread made me obtuse. I am looking for as much valuable ffedback from various posters. Your comment was rude, insensitive, and frankly uncalled for. I am understanding everyone feedback with the exception of mr.rational's last post linking me to the definition of blowoff

Wow, you did ask!

Okay, the post wasn't rude...it was direct. You seem to have a hard time understanding true intentions.

Your previous employer was trying to avoid conflict so they did the "it's not you" routine to get you off the payroll and blew you off.

Listen -- to me, it sounds like maybe they thought they could train a new candidate, but what they really needed was someone with experience because they may not have realized they didn't have time to wait to catch someone up to speed.

However, none of us here can give you any feedback with absolute certainty other than you're just not working there anymore. We can't tell you WHY, we haven't worked with you to know what your work is like so we can't comment on that, but really.... all you can do is try to get an entry level position in your field, probably with a larger company that dedicates time to training new associates.

The poster in question didn't elaborate as i had asked. I am just trying to see if anyone has any deeper insight cause I was completely blindsided by this.

Even if your work was indeed the reason they terminated you, you deserved to have that explained to you. It sounds like a highly dysfunctional company. Chalk it up to a learning experience and be thankful you only wasted 2 weeks there.

Listen, there isn't any insight to be gained from random message board people

It is either:
A) they didn't like your work enough
B) they didn't think you were a good fit for the company
C) some of A and B

That is it. There is no deep explanation. There is not closure.

Find another job.

Good luck.
