If theyโ€™ve eliminated your position then you got laid off not fired. The terminology is important when interviewing for new jobs. Also get that unemployment. Itโ€™s not a handout itโ€™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 youโ€™re able to find something else quickly without too much stress. Definitely get that unemployment ASAP. I wish you luck โค๏ธ

Why the fuck would they lay you off a week after hiring you? Thatโ€™s a terribly run company

I mean, technically, you didnโ€™t get fired. Just laid off. So, at least you can use them as a reference for your next jobโ€ฆ.?

not necessarily. my company has done this before. did mass hire bc there wasnโ€™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
