I was just let go from my company which I really enjoyed working at after only 9 months in a newly created role. I was completely blindsided and told it’s was due to scope and organizational changes. I had no performance reviews or discussions leading up to termination. It didn’t seem like this was a performance driven decision, but I feel completely left in the dark and unsure what to do in this economic climate. Should I ask for more severance (4wk/2 paychecks is what they offered)?

Translation: Agency didn’t want to pay your salary any longer. That’s the reason. Definitely ask for a higher severance. Sorry this happened.

Sorry to hear this. I’m sure it’s unsettling for you.
Definitely ask for more $.

I’m sorry to hear this - good luck

As a rule, always ask for more money. The two times that I’ve been laid off, I asked for more money and got it. Also, I know this sucks, but it’s a temporary setback

@SM1, it’s social media strat’s poor attempt at a barely understandable joke (in reference to it being 9 months). Why? Because they’re a social media “strategist” 🤦‍♂️

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...
