I'm homeless and living in a shelter. I had recently attained a remote WFH tech support job which was perfect because I wouldn't have to pay for transportation and they were providing me with the equipment I needed. I was sent a PC and monitor and I had tried setting it up in a semi obscured place in the shelter but the supervisor there informed me that I couldn't continue to work this way because "they don't know what I'm doing on it" which is a load of shit imo because they don't know what anyone is doing on the internet.
I had to be connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable. I tried:
- going to the library (inaccessible router)
- going to a cafe
- going to a local college (company blocked captive portal)
- using a travel router (company literally blocked the connection once I set it up, called coworkers and they said the same thing)
I was finally able to find someone who was offering a private room just for work but by the time I was set up I had already received a notice of termination in my email.
I'm beyond furious at the shelter staff and I don't know what I could have done to prevent myself from getting fired. I was to move into a place next week contingent on me keeping the job and getting my first paycheck but I had to contact my would be landlord yesterday to let him know that I can't move in. I keep replaying this scenario and I don't know what I could have done to not get fired. I guess I'll go fuck myself.
