Struggling to keep jobs during probation periods
Hi everyone,
I’m posting here because I’m honestly starting to feel pretty lost and I'm extremely worried about my future over the last couple of years or so I’ve been having a pattern where I get hired, things seem to be going okay as in I'm progressing but never fast enough, or I'm just not a right fit, and then I’m let go during probation. In 2024, I was let go from two jobs after about a couple months each. In early 2025, I started another role around February but didn’t last until the end of March.
Most recently this year, I was hired at the beginning of March and then suddenly let go at the end of March, even though I genuinely thought things were going well. On top of that, a casual job I had alongside these roles has basically ghosted me, so right now I’m feeling pretty uncertain.
I’m honestly trying very hard at work. I show up, I try to learn quickly, and I try to get along with people. But this pattern keeps happening and I don’t really understand why and well what I'm supposed to do for money as I keep messing up
