Oh and it's my birthday next week. Talk about timing…
My girlfriend is in remission, but at high risk for recurrence. We had just discovered they found another spot in her body that might indicate a recurrence and then I open my laptop once we get back home from the hospital and BAM a notification for an urgent 1on1 meeting..
I was told it was due to a restructuring, but the “new” direction and focus of the company is exactly what I've been working on for the past year.
I'm not the only one, apparently 10% of the workforce is being cut but I haven't been presented any kind of package or additional information yet, just that I will no longer have a job..
They are fully aware of my situation, but I'm still waiting to get slapped in the face with some limp-noodle severance package.
The company is more than profitable, has beat revenue estimates for the past 6 quarters, has given out $10m in RSUs and the CEO slated to make +$20m is year..
I'm 30 years old, totally lost, totally scared, and have no idea what to do.
