I was fired out of the blue no warning, no explanation, no history of poor performance. Just blindsided and suddenly without a job or a source of income. I poured everything I had into this place. I showed up, I worked hard, I stayed late, I went above and beyond. And they discarded me like I was nothing. When I finally started speaking up about what happened about the toxic culture, the unprofessional behavior, and how they treated people. they tried to threaten me into silence. I am at a loss.

Sorry to hear that. Some businesses just use people and toss them aside and that's how they operate. If you want, you could talk to an employment lawyer and see what legal options you have. But it might be difficult to prove anything. Sometimes the best approach is to learn what you can from a lousy situation like that and move on.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I learned a previous job never to give everything because companies will almost never reciprocate. We may be appreciated, but at the end of the day we are all just a number and replaceable.

We’re in the same situation, but instead of showing that I’m lost, I chose to move forward — one step at a time. I focused on fixing myself first, prepared my resume, and started applying.

I’m truly blessed and grateful that almost every day, I receive interview invitations.

I am so sorry to hear about that. I was laid off from my position 2 months ago with no warning. Felt the same way of being tossed aside. Felt a bit personal even though it had nothing to do with my performance or conduct. I was sad because I liked my job. But the job market has been brutal and so has unemployment. We can get through this with something better ahead waiting for us!

The law states, the "will to hire, the will to fire" for no reason at all. I don't know who created this law, but obviously it didn't side with the employee. So keep in mind that if you should ever want to resign from a job, you don't have to give them two week notice. You can fire them!

They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?
