Leadership is completely out of touch and heartless. The company is seemingly having a crisis and has been firing-happy within certain departments in the past year and a half.
My situation was very eye-opening as my "firing" was more of a layoff or someone didn't like me (hence, always watch your back). I was asked to come to a meeting room, and once I sat down, I was told I was being let go for "performance reasons". In which the person who fired me left the room after the 30-second statement and left me with HR. HR never provided any proof of poor performance, nor could they answer the questions I had regarding my performance and since I the person who fired me left and never came back, I couldn't ask them any questions either. Instead, they insisted that the decision was final, and I was escorted out after almost 4 years with the company, and half of those spent in Leadership were on the other side of performance conversations before, knowing how they should happen and be documented. There had been no prior conversations regarding performance, no attempt to rectify or correct poor performance, and no documentation signed by me or given to me.
