I just experienced a tough setback. I was recently hired as a direct support assistant for a company that supports individuals with disabilities. After about a month of job searching, I finally landed the position and started training last week. I completed CPR training on Tuesday, but today I was informed that I did not pass it and they were terminating my employment. I had just become certified in CPR this past February, so I asked if I could submit my certificate to prove my qualifications. I sent it over right away, but just five minutes later, I received a call stating they wouldn’t be continuing my employment. I know New York is an at-will state, so they have the right to do this, but I’m really upset. I had been searching for a job for three months, and now I’m back to square one. Just needed to vent.
