Today I had a talk with my boss. Apparently I'm not a good enough programmer to handle tasks alone and they don't want to keep me around to learn the languages they want.

He said, maybe if we find a project for you that you could handle. Then we won't fire you.

I'm just so done .. I knew that i just started and it's my first job and I don't have much experience but I was hopeful that they wanted to teach me stuff. Now it doesn't look like it anymore. I don't know what to do. Who would take someone who got fired after not even a year?
