Training modules pretend SAP makes sense, and treat you as if you are a robot. I blazed through them too quickly and they didnt like that. They asked me why, and i told them I had already been using the software access for 6 months because of a mistake they made, and the training was pointless. If i agreed in writing that i was competent and trained, then there is no difference.

Honestly I was positioning myself to be the irreplaceable SAP expert at my company because the software is so garbage that not many people knew or wanted to learn how to use it, and I wanted a foot in the door in the supply chain department.

Turns out when you tell your corporate bosses that their ideas don't work, don't work an added 20 hrs a week to compensate for their bad ideas and poor communication, and complain of harassment and treatment bias, they will just fire you. Without severance.

Those trainings were included as reasons for my firing. The ultimate reason for my firing? "Timeliness" because I used 2.5 days of my sick time over the course of 6 months.

They didn't show up for my unemployment hearing. The hearing officer was so confused by my situation he told me to stop answering as if it was a hearing, and just tell him why I think they fired me.

8 months later, I'm doing just fine. Raising my kids, running a business with my wife, and not worrying about being harassed by psychopathic ladder climbers while using the world's worst software.

Sorry for the book I just wrote. I'm known to rant and ramble like a senior citizen sometimes.

But I thought workers were their family, with ping pong tables and snacks everywhere?

Yeah, 2021 and half of 2022 they were hiring like crazy.

The layoffs are no surprise. They over hired and caused shortage in smaller companies.

I guess the return to the office might be a way to make people quit so they won't have to follow the WARN Act, but I'm not sure about it, as first people to switch jobs will be the most valuable ones.
