and the production requirements until it was too late and it just didn't occur to you to ask about that?? Do you think I should or is it right for me to ask them if they can reconsider about their decision because of that and take me back if I still like to work for them or I should just look for another position? What do you think??

But the reason they terminated was because I failed to meet their production standards.. But, if I knew about it, I wouldn't fail that.. It's not like they terminated me for no good reason..

The supervisor apologize to me for the decision. They said that it was a difficult decision for them because I was supposed to do 4 files an hour but I didn't. And then I asked him if they can reconsider and he said something like it is not up for discussion. So does that mean No even though I don't know what is expected of me??

I think they probably did mention about the production requirements to the class because the other people said they heard it but I just didn't hear that. But, I think they only said it one time or something in passing and not make it so clear or emphasized... I didn't even know about it until I got a written warning...

Why do you think he said it's not up for discussion? It's reviewing documents on the computer...

If you were represented by a union or worked for the state or federal govt. you have a chance. If not, termination is usually for whatever they want in a right -to-work state.

Were you provided with any training? Did they have you watch others do the job? What did you do while you were there, if not what they expected? Why did it not occur to you to ask what they were looking for? I am in management, and if someone came to me asking for their job back for this reason, these are the questions I would ask. Of course, I always have them shadow people who are already doing the job, or give them intense training the first few days of work as to what will be expected. Was a job description provided? It should have in it what was expected of the person doing the job.

Well, if you really like the job then I'd say it couldn't hurt to try, but quite possibly their expectations of you and what you were required to do is something you could've asked in an interview, and at the very least during any training you have received. If you ask for the job back due to this, make sure it sounds pretty good, otherwise they may laugh in your face. (Not trying to sound mean, but I honestly don't know how well such a reason would go over if trying to get your job back.)

I think that if you asked them to put you on a 60 day probation period to prove yourself, they may go for it. Although I feel like they should have given you more warning to pick up your pace before it was too late, you should have went in with every intention to keep the job and give them your best performance day in and day out. And although I feel like its poor management no to set your expectations, sometimes if you don't think about asking, they aren't going to think about telling.

If you really liked working there you may want to fight it because it is the employers responsibility to present you with a job description in writing to avoid lawsuits and disputes however they can argue that if you were that concerned about keeping your job you should have asked about your specific duties and you don't have a chance in any kind of lawsuit, it's your word againt theirs.

Most companies hire employees "at will," which basically means that, unless you were under contract, they can fire you for just about any reason they want. They could decide to fire you because they don't like your cologne, and there's nothing legally you can do about it.
I would suggest putting this employer behind you and looking elsewhere.

I would ask in the beginning what I was expected to do and then and now go and talk to your boss and just be honest and I think maybe they might give you another chance.

When they say "it's not up for discussion" it means they aren't going to reconsider. What type of work was it?
