Sorry to hear that. What firm was it?

like

Anything that is actually personal, non-work related that you want to keep. Resumes, personal, photos, tax docs, paystubs, etc.

If it's a tool, code, template, or deliverable example (even if it's sanitizes) those are company property (at least for most consulting company) that you cannot take without approval.

smartlike

Take anything personal on your laptop, and email your manager outlining what personal files you are taking. They will be auditing your download activity and you want to be up front.
Do not take ANYTHING that isn’t your personal stuff. Not even a paper or deck you drafted.

I also would take any training certificates, your training transcript, etc. That may be helpful later and certainly ok to take.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
