No real reason other than, “we are going in a different direction with your department”. That's the only sentence, no elaboration from anybody. I was the only one who got let go in my dept. My only thing I can think of is that they did hire a new guy for the dept. and didn't tell me that it was actually my replacement, which is why they just kept it at “going a different direction” and offered me severance pay for the month. The severance seems like they want a good end to the relationship, rather if they wanted to fire me for a malicious reason like they thought I was stealing or something like that.
Thoughts? Anybody else have an experience like this? I just want to know if this seems like politics, or maybe there could be like something going on in the background? That way I can have some closure and can stratagize how to pursue my next opportunities.
