I agree with this post. As pilots we must do our DD on how the training department is for the airline we are going to and avoid them like the plague. Places like Atlas, PSA, Republic, and Gojet just to name a few have higher than normal complaints. It is known some check pilots do this to please their egos or to keep the pilots locked to a company longer. It is possible to go to one of these places and be ok maybe you never run into the problem check pilots or they are having a good day during a ride but why risk it? Definitely learn from this as there is no such thing as a perfect checkride and leave asap to a place you’ve done your DD with.

Collect yourself, calm down, and pass the re-ride. Your career is not screwed, even the legacies cannot be very picky these days.
With that said, it is a known thing in this day and age that some bottom feeder 121 operators are suspected of busting folks for the sole purpose of delaying or preventing their departure for greener pastures... ask around carefully, if you're in one of those shops GTFO asap. Just go to a decent regional before you have to do recurrent, if they can bust you twice in one year they know they have you locked in for many years, maybe for life. Not saying that's what's going on, but you should make sure that's not what you're dealing with.
Check your PRIA/PRD and training records carefully too.
