Looking for Work
#1
I have no company,
since I got fired
for being rude and
"underdeveloped
in the social department".
That’s what they called me,
when I replied to HR:
“Go fuck yourself”
followed by
“Kind regards”

Company has a nice double meaning (enterprise and companionship) but the subject doesn´t show any signs that he is lonely (and of course he doesn´t own the firm as an employee).
 
So this first line to me shows no real relevance for the poem as a whole. but maybe you could build more around what it means to you.
 
Honestly, i think the dialoge following the first two lines  shows some view of frustration, but wouldn´t make me share the feeling.

Hmm, you're right - perhaps omit the first line and replace 'since' with 'lately'?

for being rude and "rude" would be a stronger break.

That’s what they called me, Again, you could lose the comma. I like how "called me" makes it an epithet.
