Default Am I going to be fired?

This is my first week at my first "real" job out of college. I work at a professional staffing firm.

Here is what went down today. We are required to put in 9 hour days. I got in at 730am and left at 430pm thinking I put my 9 hours in I should be good and everyone leaves at 5pm.

One of the account managers calls me and asks why I'm leaving and I say I got there at 730 and did my 9 hours. He responds with "we all work till 5" and I ask if I should come back to which he responds with "no." I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Then he puts another account manager on the phone who asks me if "I'm working from home tonight" (which I guess is pretty standard for this job). I respond with "probably not." He then asks if I have a call sheet for tomorrow and I did. He says I should call them first thing in the morning which I planned on anyway and told him so.

Am I going to be fired?

Hmm. Doesn't sound good. My guess is yes, you will be fired but they will make the decision in the morning.

No it was one slip up, and you are completely new seeing it is your first week. Also, it didn't really cause any real damage.

Not likely, they would rather have a talk with you about the firm policies.
