Rant?: I just got told by someone else that I’m losing my job

I manage a SmartStyle in Oregon. I've been here for 5 1/2 years, nearly 4 of which have been as manager. I've devoted my entire stylist career to this job, got the ratings from 2 stars to 4 stars within my time as management. I developed carpal tunnel by age 23 and continued to work even when it wasn't in my best interest. I've given up my free time, my life for this company because I loved what I do and the company I worked for. And I just got word, from the Walmart store manager, not within my company, that my salon that I've poured my life into is closing and vacating the space by June 1st. That's 6 days away, and my company hasn't told me. I heard it from someone else. I am so angry. I've had a gut feeling this would happen for the last couple…


I manage a SmartStyle in Oregon. I've been here for 5 1/2 years, nearly 4 of which have been as manager. I've devoted my entire stylist career to this job, got the ratings from 2 stars to 4 stars within my time as management. I developed carpal tunnel by age 23 and continued to work even when it wasn't in my best interest. I've given up my free time, my life for this company because I loved what I do and the company I worked for.

And I just got word, from the Walmart store manager, not within my company, that my salon that I've poured my life into is closing and vacating the space by June 1st. That's 6 days away, and my company hasn't told me. I heard it from someone else.

I am so angry. I've had a gut feeling this would happen for the last couple months so I have a plan in place already and I will go fully independent as a stylist from here. I know it'll be better for me in the long run, but I am still angry.

Edit: the reddit mobile app isn't showing me comments so to answer a question on confirmation: I was shown the email detailing the date and process of my leaving, and he forwarded the email to me. I forwarded the email to my district leader who says she hasn't heard anything. But the email was directly to the Walmart Store Manager and is pretty thorough.
