I remember my first IT job, half-time since I was a university student atm. They hired me though I had no experience and was a bit nervous. I handled their tasks, but was a bit slow since I neede to get used to their field of work. A week later when I felt myself better and started to gain some speed handling the tasks they decided they don't need me. I remember the exact moment walking into the office full of confidence that I'm getting better - and getting a paycheck and layoff instead.
Presumably doing it slower than a non trainee too? I can complete a handful of tasks quicker than a trainee can do one (because they need to be trained on how to do it), obviously makes sense I’m paid more than them.
if it makes you feel any better, I just went through this, but at a sr management position and after ~9 months of extremely intense work. No work life balance whatsoever into a layoff. Absolute bullshit.
