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 $.

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” 🤦‍♂️

I was recently promoted.. so I think. The company is going through reorg and with that, the minimum salary is being pushed to $52k/yr. I am currently earning $42k/yr and with this promotion, I was offered $55k. I am thankful for the recognition however, seeing as new employees will be hired in at almost the same rate; I’m not sure how to negotiate this. I would already be receiving a 23% increase but with the reorg taking place I would essentially be back a square one.

I confess I had a strange dream a few years ago and it’s still haunting me : everything was black, no color, no shades, no light, no warmth, no sound, nothing, a big great nothing in nothingness.

I usually do not dream.
Or If I do I almost never remember.
It’s like one dream remembered every ten years or so, something like this.
The only dreams I have are premonitions.
Most of the time it’s about the context and place.
All happened to be verified over time.
