What does this even mean?
"I lost all of my credit for that quarters work experience"
The previous context was about how this speaker had a raging moment before she quit this job.
What I don't understand is the construct of this sentence, what in the world does "for that quarters work experience" even mean?
THanks!

Let me try a paraphrase:
I lost all the credit that I would have earned during that quarter (of the school year) for "work experience."
I am assuming they are using "quarter" as an academic unit of time (like "semester").
Does this fit the situation?
