Just a no cause termination, at-will rant

Been at my current job for just about a year, sort of middle of the totem pole. Pretty good pay for the area, company was complete shit morally and ethically and I've been looking to get out for a few months now, but just haphazardly. I was called in for an in-person meeting on an out-of-office day. Just my boss in our dingy, dark, and poorly maintained building. That sent my Spidey senses on edge, but figured I'd see what was up.

The company doesn't do performance reviews or have any structure whatsoever around evaluating employees. I'm not going to sit here and claim I was the best, I definitely wasn't, especially after some of the shittier parts of the company and industry were made obvious. But I figured at most I'd be given a first and only strike or maybe a performance plan.

Oh well, I'm sure life will go on, but it'll be rough as hell for a while. Just bought a house about a year ago and I'm a single income household.

Stay strong, redditors.
