I got fired from my last job for a policy that does not exist. I asked HR for the investigation, but all I got was my whole profile, which I had asked for, and the disciplinary action form and employee separation form. I was put on leave for a day and a half, so they should have investigated it. I didn't see an investigation or a copy of the policy that I violated.

Unfortunately, HR is unable to take any action. I was also informed that there were concerns regarding my performance; however, in reality, I was the one handling and resolving a sensitive issue, while the feedback being referred to was related to emails.

From the beginning, it felt as though there was already a plan to let me go, and after my salary details were reviewed, this decision seemed to have been reinforced.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
