We'd like to think that, after searching for a job for months, finally landing one would bring us some sense of security—yet, you may find yourself on the hunt again sooner than you think, without any warning or even explanation.
This worker shared her experience on Reddit's r/antiwork workplace subreddit community, telling of how she had been fired from her new job for using her cell phone, despite never being given any warning or told that this was against the workplace rules. She had just started the new job a month ago, and although it was in a new industry, she thought the job had been going well, but had never received any employee handbook or had any rules regarding phone usage explained to her.
"If I had been told that I was not supposed to use my phone at work, I wouldn't have," writes Redditor u/Rare_Reflection7241, "So here [I] am jobless again."
