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

Live and learn. But yeah I’m not at all surprised this happened. It’s not personal - it’s business.

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)

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
