we’re not having you tonight. Later the manager admitted they'd rehired someone else and made me the expendable one. That part — being made expendable — sticks with me. It’s the bitter detail: they asked me to prepare for the job, praised my work while I was there, and never once pulled me aside to say I was slipping or to help me improve. So from my point of view, everything seemed fine, then boom, done. I won’t lie, I’m still frustrated — it’s hard not to take it personally after investing time, cash and energy. On the other hand, I did enjoy the work while it lasted; the team was great and I liked the pace of the shifts, so that’s the confusing part. If you’re thinking of taking a similar role, just know the company treats hires like temporary fixes sometimes. Be cautious about upfront costs, and keep copies of everything you submit. Not a horror story, but definitely not the fair, stable start I expected.
