| Apr 23, 2021 at 9:50 | comment | added | antipattern | @motousbtasu I completely agree with you there. Though - in my opinion - the reasoning in SquiddleXO 's answer is more convincing to me. That said, you both come to similar conclusions, which is the key point here. | |
| Apr 23, 2021 at 9:09 | comment | added | motosubatsu♦ | @antipattern I agree with regard to the learning phase being a thing, but "slow performance" can, and does encompass much more than producing results - the OP gave examples in a comment where they were repeatedly given tasks (typical to new starters such as taking an exam/test) where they were late doing them and had to be chased | |
| Apr 23, 2021 at 8:05 | comment | added | antipattern | I dislike about this answer that it takes statements like "slow performance" given in a two-week stint as given fact. Most of the places I know personally (and from my university connections who by now all went into the private sector) would even consider the first six months of a new job as "learning phase". Personally, I would take it as a serious red flag if an employer demanded any kind of result in the first two weeks of a job. I understand there must be something odd with OP, but is is likely not in his performance, and more in his general way of being. | |
| Apr 22, 2021 at 21:37 | comment | added | Ant | +1 That's a great and thoughtful answer.It does look like a very tough spot and I feel for the OP.One thing you could add to this answer is to comment on why the OP has been fired so quickly even after passing the interviews.If he passed the interview, presumably he has at least some understanding of what he's doing.How does he lose that credibility in a matter of weeks, if not with catastrophically bad performance? (bad as in "cannot-write-fizz-buzz-bad" -but how did the pass the interviews then?)This is something other answers have pointed out and I agree, the story doesn't fully check out. | |

| Apr 22, 2021 at 18:38 | comment | added | BigMadAndy | @njzk2, I don't think that's a valid comparison. If we are thrown into an office environment, we normally have a very little influence on it. But at home, we can shape the conditions to a much higher degree, even if we consider limitations such as the people we live with, flat size, etc. | |

| Apr 22, 2021 at 17:06 | comment | added | njzk2 | "working from home didn't damage your productivity, you failed to adapt to it". Imagine an environment where you wouldn't want to work. Now imagine that you have to work there, and if you can't manage it, some random stranger on the internet will tell you that you failed. It might be true, it's still harsh. | |
