Fired From ACN

So check this out.... I just got word I got fired from ACN last week literally a day after being back from a one year project abroad. Wondering what I did wrong I looked at my reviews from last years project (one above average, one average and one below average resulting in a 'consistent with peers' for the end of year rating).

In hindsight I could have (maybe) seen this coming: a) Few promotions in geographic location b) Had to cancel my ACN university three ***** times due to chargeability issues ACN wide c) And apparently ACN recruited waaaaaaaaayyyy to many people at the beginning of the year in anticipation of projects being sold (which turned out not to be the case)

I was wondering if anyone of you had similar experiences/stories either within ACN or comparable. Personally I feel this is cold especially given the sacrifice I put in doing all the traveling and putting in the long hours.
