Was just told my last day is Friday
Post Body

As the title says. Company sent me an email this morning saying my last day is Friday. I'm contract so it's in their right to do so I guess but man does this fuck me over. I won't be able to pay rent this month because of it.

The kicker here though, they want me to train the new guy. The guy who has the position I was promised. (a full time position in the company) He is a nice guy don't get me wrong, but I don't want to pass on my knowledge of literary everything in the projects we are working on. It feels cruel. I want to just not show up but that would be unprofessional and if a future employer calls them I don't want it to effect that job.

I'm already going to file for unemployment. And I'm already searching for jobs. I have a few connections and strings I can pull so fingers crossed.

I just knew this was coming, ever sense the new guy came on about 3 weeks ago. We just came to the end of a project so I didn't see any other reason to hire a new person. Then, they are like, "train him in all this stuff you were specialized trained in, it's just for redundancy don't worry" I worried, knowing that I was gonna be let go soon. But I trained him anyway, super fast paced and generally unclear about a lot of things. He didn't have questions because he didn't know what the hell was going on. I kind of feel bad, but yet I was put in a shit situation. So fuck this company. They have never supported me in this job. No onboarding, I had to teach myself how to run the machines, and the expectation to remember every little thing I did. I take some medication that one of the side effects is that my memory is shit. They held that against me on so many occasions. How the hell am I meant to remember a specific detail from 5 months ago? Fuck you.

Anyway I needed to vent and figured this would be a good learning lesson for someone else. If you feel like you're being pushed out, you likely are.
