I’m in California and I woke up this morning to a meeting scheduled at 6:00 am for 6:50 am. Most everyone on in my department are in CT or ET. At 8, I logged in, saw the meeting scheduled and responded saying hey, I don’t even wake up til 7, what did I miss? No response so I drove to work and went in. I immediately got a zoom call from my manager. Answered and there was someone on else from HR on and they said I was laid-off effective immediately. The whole department was eliminated. I would be offered severance and placement. They said I would get an email to my personal email and my final pay. I was so shocked I didn’t really comprehend what was happening. Happened in less than five mins.
Anyway, after I collected my things and left I thought about what happened. I emailed my manager to inquire about how my already accrued commissions would be paid and they responded I’ll get them on my regular payday, 3/15.
It’s now almost midnight and I’ve gotten nothing from the company and I haven’t been paid. What happened? Did I get fired or what?
