I got fired after putting in my two week notice.

I've gone into details already about my toxic company, so if you're interested in more details you can take a look at my previous posts. Here's a quick summary: High turnover, had 3 supervisors all within a year. Poor financials, the CEO blames it on employees instead of taking responsibility for not charging clients My mental health began to decline, impacting my work. I took some time off. I returned refreshed and was (mostly) back to normal. After putting in solid work for a month, I'm put on a Performance Improvement Plan. It's clear that this is a way to get me fired. I decide to jump the gun and quit, despite not having another job lined up. I gave them two weeks notice. My last day was supposed to be Aug 5.

I've gone into details already about my toxic company, so if you're interested in more details you can take a look at my previous posts. Here's a quick summary:

  1. High turnover, had 3 supervisors all within a year.

  2. Poor financials, the CEO blames it on employees instead of taking responsibility for not charging clients

  3. My mental health began to decline, impacting my work. I took some time off. I returned refreshed and was (mostly) back to normal.

  4. After putting in solid work for a month, I'm put on a Performance Improvement Plan. It's clear that this is a way to get me fired.

  5. I decide to jump the gun and quit, despite not having another job lined up. I gave them two weeks notice. My last day was supposed to be Aug 5. I picked that day so I could health health insurance during the month of August.

Well, at 4:50 PM today (7/29), I was fired. Yup, 10 minutes before work ended.

I could also talk about how I have a theory that the company (and especially my latest supervisor) was sexist. I could talk about how I heard from the rumor mill that the CEO is thinking of selling the company.

If I do say any of that, though, I'm going to do it after I receive my last paycheck.

My friend in HR has a theory they fired me today so they explicitly didn't have to pay health insurance for the next month. 🥲
