So have you been laid off or fired several times in the past few years? Do they tell you its because you can't do frontend or is it for performance issues? I feel like there's some key information missing here.

Are we really going that way?

The OP fully reports a Kafkan maze of being hired for a job, and then asked to perform a completely different job; having a low performance because, well, duh; and then we expect him to explain his low performance?

Several times in the past fifteen years, but it was that I got fired or quit.

The times it was involuntary, it was because I got moved to doing front-end stuff, my performance tanked, I told my manager or whoever was relevant, and sometimes I hear "Just bear with it a minute" and sometimes I hear things like I described above. This was the first time I tried saying anything about it during the interview.

> I feel like there's some key information missing here.

I don't get it either, so at least there's that sanity check: I don't get what's going on because it doesn't make sense as presented. That was what the questions were: I'm certain there is something I'm missing, I tend to be socially oblivious sometimes. I do not get it.

Maybe you should learn some front end and avoid the problem altogether?
