Comment on Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.

I might come across as abrasive myself in this comment, you are free to completely discard anything I write.

You were fired after only 8 weeks from a position as ER nurse. Aren’t ER nurses quite difficult to find? 8 weeks is a pretty short time. So the managers considered, after such a short time, that it was better to loose you than to keep you. That having you in their team was a negative. And they didn’t warn you, so they thought that either you would not heed the warning or that your behavior was too serious a liability for them that they would skip the warning all together.

Considering this, I would encourage you to find their point of view on the matter. Even if it seems to you that everything was good, did you overlook communication? Did you act as a lone wolf in a team? Did you overlook to show off your own contributions? Each one could have significant ramifications.

The examples you give are quite extreme, did you communicate about them correctly or could you communication look like pointing fingers? Did you follow up on them in the way that is usually used in the team? Did you make an enemy of a key player?

I know work politics can be exhausting. In this direction, I don’t have advice other than learning from every experience.
