Antiwork

I know “everyone goes through it”. I’m not the first nor last. But it doesn’t take the pain away. I started this job 6 months ago for a better opportunity and loved everyone there.

I’m upset because today of all days, I busted my ass off doing my duties and beyond. I was non stop. The owners acted like nothing was wrong. Come 3:25pm, my boss invites me to talk. His first words “I’m going to need your laptop, we are letting you go. The position is no longer needed. I’m sorry.” My heart fell to the floor. He gave me a letter – we talked a couple minutes, I packed my belongings and left.

They let go about 6 of us. 2, including me, in management. Yesterday, we were told our jobs are safe.

I was caught blindsided and I’m embarrassed. They all knew it was coming but still had me running all over the facility like a clown.
