I was fired recently. My manager put a Friday meeting on for 30 minutes, right after a big project went wrong. I pinged him and asked him for an agenda in pure panic, and he didn't respond, instead saying in our team channel that it was review time and that no one should panic, everyone is getting meetings for reviews
Phew I thought, yeah I fucked up, I'll get probably a lower review but I'll prove myself after that and work back from it.
Nope.
He was late joining, HR was there and thought for a second it must be because of the reviews, something special. Then the fucker fired me. Asshole. He fucked up the meeting, sent me on a wave of emotions that week, and then still fired me.
I caused a 2 hour prod outage btw. That was the fuckup. I had only been there 5 months, told them I didn't feel comfortable doing it alone, they told me to work through the weekend to do it and I did, worked a 16 hour day to make it all stable and happy. They made me give a postmortem and all of my colleagues said it was a rite of passage and that it was no big deal, just to learn from it. Then he fired me.
Sounds like you're better off as far away from that as possible
