Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co.

I’d say, “my position was outsourced”. There’s nothing wrong with being terminated for this reason. They will understand and will likely feel comforted knowing you weren’t fired.
Saying it was “outsourced” after a change in ownership/leadership change is fine.
As a hiring manager I would accept that as a clear sign that it was outside your control, unfortunately these changes happen often
Thank you. In interviews it’s always been followed by a brief awkward pause but then they’ve resumed the interview. I just get nervous and try to not let it show.
The new owner changed where our workforce was based.
There’s nothing wrong with pivoting from one career into another.
I’m starting to see that anyone can accomplish just about anything as long as their relationships enable coaching. "Outsourcing” provides food for a household regardless of location. Sometimes people get entitled or are caught performing the wrong thing … happens nearshore or offshore. If it happens, you face consequences. The key is to learn from it and get better every time.
