Well, download your contacts, your client list (for future conflicts), print (do not download) any key precedents, and schedule a chat with your best friend for right after.
And have a glass of water by your comp so if you get verklempt, you can take a drink.
Hugs. It is just a job and you will rise again. You are more than a job. Chin up.

Thank you for the positive words 😊
My firm (90 attorneys, greater NYC metro area) basically tells you things aren’t working out and they keep you on payroll for a month or two while you find something new.
If they are letting you go - try to be cordial. Assuming they don’t offer severance, I would ask (1) why/what advice they can give you moving forward (otherwise you’ll always wonder), (2) whether they’ll keep you on the website while you search for another position (if they say no, say, “then I presume you won’t be opposing my application for unemployment” - they can only oppose if you’re being let go for cause), and (3) whether they’ll provide a favorable letter of recommendation (or neutral reference).
Chin up! Now’s the best time to get fired. Extra unemployment benefits & most firms understand that good candidates are getting let go due to firm health, not the attorney’s competency. Good luck and keep us updated!
So what happened???

The reason doesn't matter bc it's all BS these days.

I’m sorry to hear that, A3.

How do you know you’re being let go? :(

Here’s hoping you’re wrong!
How you react is everything and will be remembered. Keep your cool and if you’re offered a runway that includes staying employed while you job hunt (and can therefore remain on the firm’s website for some amount of time), be grateful.
I was given no notice just don't come in
I’m still remote I have a mid-year review tomorrow and see that our group head has no other reviews on deck.
