Sorry to hear. I’ve gotten laid off twice in my career. Once from an incompetent leader and once due to covid. I see separations now as a way that life is sending you in a new direction. You may not feel that now but you will in time. Just keep in the back of your mind what life is trying to teach or tell you.
OP I'm sorry you have to go through this. It sucks. Comment above is the mindset that got me through it. I promise you'll find a new job that'll be far and above better, just remember the lesson life is teaching.
I really don’t get it either. Sorry to hear about it. Really is crazy to me how a lot of these companies operate. Tons of people in positions they shouldn’t be. And I know it is partially favoritism, but at what point does that just really hurt the company.
I am really sorry to hear that OP. I have several friends who were recently laid off and/or fired and this job market is not it. I am so sorry for how you are feeling but that is completely justified. I hope that you are able to find something much better than the role that you had before.
Pro
This is always the case and the fight I have frequently at work. Leaders hold authority high and push accountability low when it comes time to be accountable for their bad business decisions that cost people jobs. Seen it too much.
