There was this massfiring in my company and I was let go for being the newest person in my team, one month shy from a year there. It didn't matter how good I was or that I had a lot of responsebility or that there were people essentially costing more and contributing less. I got the impression that my closest manager didn't have much say in it either. I don't know if it is better or worse that it wasn't personal.
I cried the whole day while I was still at my work place and couldn't even give proper goodbyes to my team because of it. I hope I can do it next week when I return some equipment.
I could still be hired for a different position there but I don't have my hopes up. It was the closest to a dream job I could have, good salary and a chance to work remotely and inclusive work culture so I could be openly ️ and ️️. It could have only been better if we had a four-day-week.
I would appreciate some words of encouragement or similar experiences and how you overcame the initial sadness madness especially if you have had challenges with mental wellbeing.
