Let go out of nowhere

I was blindsided at work today when I got pulled into the office by my director and manager. I’ve been working at this place for four months, I’ve been doing well and working hard.

I was blindsided at work today when I got pulled into the office by my director and manager. I’ve been working at this place for four months, I’ve been doing well and working hard.
