I'm getting rolled off a project that I was warned would be my last if I was rolled off. How different is the process of getting fired versus getting laid off?

OP just brace yourself for the worst. The same thing happened to me, I got a random meeting put on my calendar by a director with nothing in the email. Then I was separated from the firm. If you haven't already started looking for other opportunities, I would do so now.

Everyone was very amicable. I think it was actually a "not a good fit" situation. Usually that gets used as a scapegoat for drama, but I'm more analytical (excel/tableau/etc) and was in a content development role.

You'll bounce back, OP. Take a few days if you need it and then get going on the job hunt. You're very marketable and desirable to other employers - don't forget it.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Is it just me or are there entirely too many people in Business Services, specifically TC’s, who are just folks from client service that don’t want to deal with hours and travel anymore but have no formal training in the Business Services function they transition to?
