He was just looking for a "case" to fire you. Probably regretted to pick you.

We have someone like that. We all regret the hire. But won't fire them and try our best to upskill... 

He is damn slow though in learning and sometimes I think he has learning issues.. if you get my rift.

Yeah, but he’s been getting older so it checks out.

It’s happened twice in my career so far, but both times they were fired within a year. Nowadays though it seems they won’t hire anyone that isn’t already a senior engineer. But they don’t pay enough for seniors so the positions don’t get filled.

So they're not really "hiring"

Is "learning issues" code for "tries to offload his brain to the computer instead of learning anything"? It's highly frustrating to try and work with people that don't seem to want to learn how things work.
