My boss eliminated my role as a PMM and I’m getting laid off bc he decided a more “senior” product marketer is needed for the biz. The role just got posted and it’s only for a Senior PMM and the required years of exp. and responsibilities match my exact level of experience. I’m extremely offended I wasn’t offered the decency of a performance convo. about what skill-set he believes I’m lacking to the point in which they’d rather train someone completely new than just up skill me where needed. ⬇️

I’d love anyone’s perspective or thoughts on this. Would you be offended? When he said a more “senior” role is needed, I assumed director level (something I would be very much unqualified for). This feels personal, like he just doesn’t like me? Doesn’t think I’m worthy of a conversation. I should note, he has only worked with me for 3 months and I’ve been employed there for two years.

This is offensive. Other companies are doing something similar to find cheaper talent.

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.
