I got fired and I'm so lost

I just moved half way across country away from friends and family to be closer to my husband’s family. A week after moving I started working at a vet clinic that was a totally different pace from my last clinic, like much slower than I’m used to. I was honest from the get go that it was a different pace, new laws, new procedures, and new software than what I’m used to and I was only ever an assistant at my last clinic.

They hired me and started training me as a tech. I worked for a month at 3 days a week so 12 days total. The last two weeks I’ve been teching my own rooms and getting praise from doctors and techs about how good I was doing. I was so excited. A week ago I noticed I wasn’t on the next few weeks schedules that had just got posted. I asked the manager about it expressing concern and was told it was fine and it was because she wanted to do my one on one first so she knew what other training I needed so she could place me with the right people.

Yesterday my one on one happens and I’m let go. Told that i haven’t shown enough desire to learn? And be a team player? Even though I thought I was and these issues were never brought up to me to fix. She said because I called out once it meant the team couldn’t rely on me even though I texted her and the team explaining that I had an extremely bad migraine but that if the needed me to please let me know and I’d be there. I never got a reply.

She said that I had a lot of moments where it seemed like I had nothing to do and was just sitting/standing there but I’ve never just sat/stood there, that would literally drive me crazy. If I was on the computer sitting there it was trying to learn the software or I was watching people work so I could learn or I was looking at where things went etc. And I know I’ve improved in that aspect anyway because I learned what their cleaning procedures were and was constantly cleaning the rooms or doing laundry or tidying up and would do that anytime I had any sort of “downtime”.

If there was a concern there and I was told I would have explained/fixed it. She also said I was without my trainer a lot but that’s because my trainer would send me into a room to tech it so she could tech her own room because we were double booked so I’d have to wait for her to leave her room once mine was done and she always thanked me for helping her out like that.

The only issue I know was my fault (the first few days I was on my phone a lot. That was my fault for not giving myself time to adjust to being away from everyone in my home town before jumping into a new job) was brought up passively aggressively at a staff meeting on the third day where she basically called me out in front of everyone without using my name and I fixed the issue same day by locking my phone in my cubby all day every day after so it’s obvious I was willing to fix problems.

I don’t know. I just feel so blindsided by all the praise I got from doctors and techs on how well I was doing only for her to turn around and fire me at the end of the day for not doing enough. After only 12 days of actual work

Edit to add:

First I want to thank everyone who was kind and those who explained what some of the issues may be. I fully take ownership for the phone thing. That’s on me. I just hoped that it would be overlooked since I fixed it but I understand how important first impressions can be and that I set a bad tone. I’ll I’ll better at the next job I get to set a good tone off the bat

Second i would like to clarify things: 1. No I did not call out for “just a head ache.” It was a full on migraine, aura and feeling like I was going to vomit included.

1. I worked full time. It was 3 days a week for a month with 12 hour shifts so 36 hours which for this company was full time (it gave us a chance to stay late without hitting overtime and getting in trouble.) The migraine hit like maybe week from my month mark if that. I apologized to my coworkers the next day and they all said I was perfectly okay and that the day was super easy anyway, one even expressed how she understood because she has something similar

2. To my knowledge none of my coworkers had issues with me. They often invited me to lunches with them or dog events with them. Many of them also played on their phone (not that that excuses me) so I don’t think they had an issue with that, just the manager which I’d understandable
