I got fired today without any warning, and I’m still reeling from it. The emotions are all over the place—betrayal, hurt, anger—you name it. I’ve cried multiple times because I loved working with the kids and it breaks my heart that I didn’t get to say goodbye to them. The way they handled my termination was unprofessional and just plain messed up. I was a full-time college student doing this job for extra income, but it turned into a nightmare. They had us working 17 hours a day but only paid us for 7, which was exhausting. I was barely eating, struggling to get in 700 calories a day, and I was only getting about 4-5 hours of sleep. I can’t seem to shake this awful feeling off my mind. I know I’m not alone in this, but it still feels so heavy. I plan to update this entry tomorrow with more details about what happened. Right now, I just need to process everything.
