I was terminated today after just 90 days in my legal collections role. This was completely unexpected, as I had no write-ups or coaching, and I genuinely felt like I was doing well. I’m 30 years old and have never been let go this quickly before. When I took the job, I had no prior experience in collections, and my supervisor was rarely in the office, only coming in once a week. Whenever I reached out for help, they were always short with me, which made it difficult to get the support I needed. Looking back, it feels like I was set up to fail without proper training. What really stings is that I actually enjoyed the job and felt a sense of belonging for once. I know this is just a bump in the road, but being let go so suddenly is really painful.
