If they’ve eliminated your position then you got laid off not fired. The terminology is important when interviewing for new jobs. Also get that unemployment. It’s not a handout it’s an insurance that you paid for with your fica taxes specifically for this situation.

Sorry people are dicks for no reason at all times with their mighty keyboard warrior pen. I know this is probably stressful and pretty heartbreaking too. The corporate world is unforgiving, happened to me too. I hope you’re able to find something else quickly without too much stress. Definitely get that unemployment ASAP. I wish you luck ❤️

Why the fuck would they lay you off a week after hiring you? That’s a terribly run company

I mean, technically, you didn’t get fired. Just laid off. So, at least you can use them as a reference for your next job….?

not necessarily. my company has done this before. did mass hire bc there wasn’t enough ppl working the project to get production down and then they lost the contract so everyone that was hired got fired within the next 2 weeks
