Just got let go today. No warning, right in the middle of doing an important task, managers didn’t even stay on Zoom or look me in the eye. Immediately passed me off to the incompetent HR person who told me “this is the hardest part of my job.” I was hands down the best in my department, constantly fixing others’ mistakes without saying a word. Years of experience, better writing skills than management; my department was such a mess. They are gonna be so screwed, but they are too mired in mediocrity to care. Now I have to start all over somewhere else- with finals week coming up (trying to finish my degree). I am in my forties and so frustrated with doing a quality job and it not meaning a damn thing.
