2.5My manager called me on a Friday, asked me to get on video, then proceeded to fire me while smiling at me the entire time. I asked her repeatedly why I was being fired, but she replied that she was not required to tell me. I told her I thought this was a misunderstanding and asked her if we could discuss it, but she refused. She then lied to my Staffing Agency, telling them I was fired because I hung up on her.
I believe my firing was due to feedback that I gave in a document that I was writing. I gave my professional opinion and was fired for it. I was never given a warning or any explanation. My manager, prior to that day, had never even had a personal conversation with me since the day I was hired.
This is not the first time I suspected some odd behavior and it is clear from talking to others that there is a lot of frustration and unease in the group because of some of the behavior from management. It is very clear to me why there is a backlog and I suspect it won't get much better anytime soon.
During my brief time there, I was also repeatedly discouraged from calling/contacting engineering. This is the first time in my career that anyone ever told me NOT to contact engineering. As a tech writer, you need to have direct discussions with engineering or else you're not working efficiently. You are guessing and causing a lot of re-work.
I'm sure TopCon is a good place to work. Just beware of the Tech Writing group.
4.6I worked for 6 months as an intern in the agriculture business unit at Topcon Positioning Systems. My duties were similar to that of a test engineer for agricultural products. Overall I had a great experience with the company. Everyone I worked with was very welcoming and the expectations of the job were communicated well. It was a very positive work environment where I was able to learn a lot of things from many of my coworkers across multiple departments. It was a pleasure working at Topcon.
