I'm a contractor, so I'll keep getting my salary, so I just want to vent out, feel free to ignore this as it will likely sound as 'first world problems' compared to the real issues I see here day in day out.
Current team consisted of almost all contractors and I happened to be one of the oldest contracts over there (2 years). New boss joined and he brought along another team member which he worked with in the past. He's been around for less than a month.
Meeting with the entire company took place today and we were then told they were gonna cut 2/3 of us.
Boss sacked me and preserved his acquaintance.
I'm so absolutely furious with the fact that I was likely laid off because of an obvious personal preference rather than professional gap, it's such a spiral of emotions getting to learn, understand, work and give all of yourself just to be put on top of the list as 'redundant'.
Interviews will start again, I'll probably easily get another position as I'm pretty aware of my capabilities, but then… what? Working the bare minimum is the obvious answer, but then again… why the fuck am I wasting 8 hours, five days a week, to be pathetic, if I'm well aware I can EASILY be really good???
This planet, this fucking system makes no sense…
