This cut of meat comes from the loin area of the pig and is more suitable for roasting, grilling, pan frying.
If you want shreddable pork (pulled pork, carnitas, etc.), the appropriate cut would be something like the pork shoulder or rib and cooked low-and-slow (braised, slow BBQ, etc.) to soften the collagen in these tougher cuts.
Use this unfortunate experience as a lesson about judiciously picking the right cut of meat and using the appropriate cooking technique to produce an intended result/product.
As a workaround, hopefully you will be able to slice the meat thinly for sandwiches but you probably won't be able to shred it.
Anyhow, best of luck.
