Ugh! so 30 days into a 6-month contract role they just abruptly ended the contract out of nowhere saying “company needs have changed” and im back job hunting (again). This is the worst. I had just gotten the kids back in childcare, now have to pull out again. And no unemployment, no severance. How do they not have to at least follow through with the contract terms they were soooo quick to make me agree to?? 😑

The annoying thing is that regular FTE and contracting are both subject to summary termination, but contracting really shoves it in your face

Why can’t you file for unemployment?

I was laid off end of 2022 so I already exhausted unemployment. I did two short-term contracts in early 2023 that extended my unemployment but ultimately I did use it all then got this contract.

Hey all!!

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
