I Was Fired

When I received my termination paper, I didn't know I was under a 90 day probation period. I didn't know what this was and after reading about it, to me it's messed up that some companies go by this with new employees and can fire them at any time without warning for anything. Before I was fired, in one class, I was working with five special needs kids in an art class, I couldn't work with all of them and felt overwhelmed. I was very close to asking my supervisor if there can be another para in the class to help out, since in other classes I've been to there were two para-teachers working with special needs students. If I had asked, I wonder if my supervisor would have fired me for that?

I fired an employer during their 3 week probation period. The paperwork implied that they were on probation too and I could quit without notice at any point during those 3 weeks, so I quit. If an employer doesn't treat decent employees humanely, they don't deserve them.
