Op be happy they got to you first.
You now dont have to repay any signing bonuses
You get severance
You get unemployment

The last two alone are probably 10-15k total. And that is without the pto payout or last paycheck

They did it on the 27th which was 1 day before the end of the month. Had a few friends deal with this and that’s when they normally do it because they can cut benefits and everything before the new month starts. I’m sorry OP, but your attitude is inspiring! I hope you find a job that you are happy with.

Hang in there. Let yourself wallow and feel this. Then remember that this doesn't determine your self-worth. It sounds like it wasn't a good fit. When you're done feeling this, be grateful that you're out of there and look forward to finding a place that IS a good fit

Never, ever, EVER tell anyone you were fired in a job interview unless you're asked specifically if your departure was involuntary. And then make it sound like you were laid off. You don't have to lie, but you don't have to volunteer that information either.

OP, one detail of severance is that you’re legally still an employee (at most firms), and an employment verification would say that. Don’t say you’re unemployed unless that period is over- looks better to other companies

No severance. Wtf who does that?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
