Recently been laid off. Any company is hiring?

I was a remote contractor and they fired me saying we are promoting our own employees. Is it common?

Yes, many companies are hiring. You have to apply to the jobs they post.

Wait what do you mean you are "promoting your own employees"? What a weird reason to get fired, I'm not sure I get what that even means. Sorry you got laid off though! I don't have any leads right now because I'm currently looking for work myself. Good luck out there!

My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December

It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
