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.

Apparently the employment contract I signed was AT WILL, which means no severance and immediate cessation of benefits. I’m having a follow up call with HR to see if we can arrive at a better solution for both parties

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
