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

Hell no. Why"? Should a anesthetist do he work of a surgeon? It's insane how this industry brainwashed people into becoming jack of all trades, master of none.
There's a difference between becoming incredibly good at frontend and knowing enough to get things done and be a productive member of a team (ie, not get fired like the OP).
What if you don't want to? Being fired form a bait-and-switch shithole is a blessing in disguise.
Yeah, in that situation, it's better to get out as quickly as possible. I want to avoid getting into that situation, though.
I know "some front end". Some things I have picked up like I always knew them, some things required study, some things I'm not going to be good at, and at this point, I'm old enough to know the difference.
