Have you ever been let go at a company for no legit reason? I remember years ago being let go of a temporary job due to being "too slow". The fact was I was as quick as others and even helped a second manager with work. Have you experienced unfair termination? Do you have any stories on what happened? What did you do after?

Got laid off may of last year, no reason at all other than restructuring and my role was eliminated. Can’t do anything about getting laid off from at-will employment

Have been laid off for that before. It is sad that they can just eliminate people without thinking about how that affects them.

I was terminated from a position because I complained to HR about my supervisor. HR said there would be no retaliation and then they let me go. So much for HR.

HR is not your best friend. Also even if you try to get into HR to change that narrative, you have to have experience (I went to school for it, and could not find a job without experience). Sorry you went through that.

Right out of university, I was working at a marketing call center cold calling people to get them to do surveys. You know the kind...the ones that always seem to call at dinner time no matter what part of the country you live in. LOL I got let go because I was in a car accident and couldn't come in to work for 3 days in a row because I was on oxygen waiting for surgery to basically put my femur back together with pins.
