Not fired but I dream of saying “I quit” to my team lead daily

@Tax1 it was mostly valid with a sprinkling of budget cuts. My performance slipped due to COVID and endless wfh, then had some pandemic related family issues that further impacted my performance. Management seemed like they would have been more willing to work through it if we weren’t in a pandemic, but honestly I was miserable and already looking for an out.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago.
