[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry OP. Truly. I’d get a consult with an attorney just to be safe. [/quote]
Oh please. OP sucked at work. End of story.[/quote]

Nah, if it's only been 6 mos and no documented issues, how badly could OP even have screwed up? Sounds like "first in, first out" to me.[/quote]

This is OP and I believe this is it.  I was hitting deadlines, the projects were moving along, everything was smooth.  I wasn’t a big fan of their management style, which was very prescriptive/micro-managey, but every place has its flaws and quirks.

They projected $17m in revenue for the year and will barely hit $12.  From my perspective it is hands down a financial decision, they’re just CYA by firing “for cause.” I’m just in shock and it really added insult to injury. [/quote]

I'm so sorry.  A lot of layoffs and firings are personality related or "who we like better".  As a newbie, you were the easiest target.

I hear, but can't confirm, that hiring an attorney rarely results in a win/big settlement.  So maybe it's worth a consult but not to go forward.

If you can negotiate some additional severance and the right to say you were laid off, that might be best.[/quote]
