I was wrongfully let go after 30 days and was told it was due to "performance", which I know is complete BS. This role was an "urgent hire" because the company had mass layoffs (70% of their workforce) 6 months prior including their HR person. From day 1... it was all smiles and "We are so glad you are here!". During my weekly 1:1's with my mgr, I was also told the same. I cleaned up so many workflows and pointed out problems. I was not given a fair hand and was used. Should I sue?

Welcome to the other side of recruitment

30 days is a standard eval period.

I don't think you were treated professionally but I would focus on seeking a new opportunity. The stress alone trying to prove your cases is enormous. I have performed thousands of layoffs and terminations and the amount of time, energy and expense you would have to pay is very consuming. My professional opinion it's not worth it. I was brought on board in a well known high tech company to get laid off (performance) because actually the department had a quarterly downsizing percentage numbers game. So they brought me on board for a month to ensure their tenured employee favorites were not cut. Most companies have sought out their legal counsel when it comes to terminations and obtain approval prior to the discharge.

Industry vets - in your experience how recession proof is insurance? I was not yet in the job market last recession but I watched my mom get laid off and struggle to find employment during that time for the next 1.5 years. I was wanting to hit the job market towards the end of this year, but now I worry that if I do move companies, the recession could put me in position of last one hired first one fired. Is it better to stay put?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
