Around four weeks ago, my bosses informed me that this wasn't a good fit. They told me I should start looking for a new job. While it was considerate of them to give me notice of termination (pretty unheard of here in the US), they never gave me a final date.

It was always stated as “a few weeks”, “about a month”, etc… While I knew it was coming up, I wasn't sure when. The pay period ends on Friday, so I was assuming it was possibly then.

Until yesterday morning, that is, when the CEO said “You know today's your last day, right?” My reply was “No, but thanks for letting me know.”

That was it, no off-boarding, no instructions. I just left at the end of the day. They didn't even ask for their key back, I remembered as I was leaving and turned it in. Felt very strange. Anyone have any similar stories?
