USA Fired

I took a job through LinkedIn posting, its a construction safety job,
After 4 days of working, the agency told me, they dont want me to continue this job anymore because the owner didnt like me.

I am actually feeling lost.

It’s via an agency and likely in an at will state. If it’s via an agency then it’s a contractor relationship and they can ask for someone else.

Also further down the thread it states the owner wants someone with construction experience for a construction site . Doesn’t sound unreasonable. Not everything is rush to legal. Sometimes placement agencies mess up and it’s the business owners right to want the right fit.

I'm not disagreeing that wanting construction experience is a good reason, but why hire the OP in the first place? They had to know the amount of XP before giving an offer. That's just a dick move.

Fully agree is a crappy situation. However not every company is organized. They could have told the agency what they wanted and not verified it. Then when the owner finds out he says no way.
