I'm to be dismissed from my job Jan 3.

I guess I have prospects. Still, it's a hell of a kick in the teeth, I've never been involuntarily terminated from a job in my entire life.

Sorry to hear that 🫤

Any positive learning experiences to take away from the situation? I hope that any gap in between work is as low stress as possible. Best of luck!

I know I'm lucky -- I'm in a senior position in my career, so it's likely I'll find something new for the same or similar salary.

Still, it was completely unprovoked. I had nothing but glowing performance reviews, nothing like an HR writeup or anything.
