I got fired 1 week before my official contract ends. Is it wrong to inform an employer about future plans and share a month before that you are leaving the company? I am shocked because I am an A performer and I had a good relationship with my boss. Any thoughts? I do realize the end of the year is slow for the company and they want to save money. But 1 week of my paycheck is not going to make a big difference. I am taking it too personal and it hurts a lot.

I wouldn’t take it personal. Honestly the decision probably was made exactly because you are a contractor and an easy week could be saved.

May or may not be the case but imagine if there were 50-100 other contractors all with contracts expiring in the next 1-4 weeks that weren’t going to be renewed. That could mean 1-2 full time employees (companies main focus) staying on

You could see it as a gift - don’t you get to collect unemployment now which you wouldn’t have if your contract had just ended?

Unlikely. Contractors don’t typically qualify for unemployment (at least in the US)
