This cycle I was supposed to be either promoted or fired. I was given 6 more months in my current position instead — honestly, I would have preferred to be fired.

Sounds like six months garden leave. Use this time to find a new job.

What are you talking about? This is the best possible outcome. Given your position and attitude, you'd have been even more miserable if you were promoted. Use these extra paychecks to your advantage while you look for a new job and keep learning at the same time.

I'm curious what my expectations should be for a base salary for an HR Generalist position at a plastics injection manufacturer. They are approximately 355+ employees with 4 plants.

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.
