Company brings me in to make changes, takes 0 of my suggestions. Refuses to hear me when I give them the writing on the wall. Tells me it's not working out because nothing has changed, lets me go without any notice after 1 month. Is it me or are there just places out there who are just this idiotic?

I think we have a crisis of leadership. We have people who are more interested in their pay check than their company’s long term viability and stability. We think leadership looks like dominance instead of listening and collaboration.

Yep! Sometimes they hire help just to say they did! Promoting change in an organization is half the battle

I could write that same thing 2x for companies that I worked for in the last 3 years. Second stint was longer because they were open to the “cheap” improvements but the rest is the same. Key is to ask more questions earlier in process interviewing to avoid repeating a mistake like I did.

I believe they have heard you.
Either they are close minded and refused to consider the whole concept by shutting it down..or..they heard enough to add and redesign your idea into their own and make an effort to incorporate it. Never let anyone shut you down from attempting to speak out about any of your ideas in the future or using your creative thinking and problem solving skills because you may just have a brilliant solution to the right people at the right time. Getting let go is not good. I am so sorry that happened to you.

Happens all the time.

Likely have no experience in supply chain. Or think it’s a clerks job. Most managers are boomers. They only care about making to retirement and collecting their company pensions. Just going through the motions. Even Government supply chains are all paper pushers. Zero experience in real world procurement.

They heard you completely. Problem is you may have challenged someone high up and exposed them. You came in to do a job. You meant well but toxic company cultures is a problem in the majority of US companies. It's 50-50 at best new employees last past the 90 day probation period. I see job postings for supply chain again and again by the same companies that have so much turnover. So many jobs are dead end.

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

I hate my partner. There I said it.

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
