I know another person who was let go in the manner you were and unfortunately there isn’t much you can do if you were fired for “performance”. Unless you can prove that you were fired for a reason that is illegal , corporate America owes you nothing. My heart goes out to you OP - please hang in there and know that these things are often arbitrary.

It sucks but unless contractual, severance isn't required. Hope you get a good severance package and don't require legal action

Severance is a way to avoid lawsuits due to the release that is signed but is also something done as a courtesy to people. OP is on a PIP which changes the narrative. Sounds like they were termed for performance.

I’m not an attorney, but I have spent a lot of time working with HR on CYA in terminating people. I agree with the other commenters here that you likely have no legal recourse, especially given that you were on a PIP. Unless you can document that you were wrongfully fired for race, sex or some other discrimination, your best course of action is to move on to a new chapter in your career. The only person to benefit through legal action would be your attorney who will take your money to tell you the same thing.

Were you on a PIP?

That is correct. You were officially warned. Little you can do

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
