5.15.25: Getting Fired

Getting fired for no real reason sucks. Especially when you’ve been showing up, getting things done, and hitting every deadline. I didn’t expect a parade or anything, but some honesty would’ve been nice. Instead, I got vague talk about a “strategic shift” and a “culture reset.” No feedback, no heads-up, just a sudden decision and a two-week severance. I worked hard, pushed through burnout, and delivered consistently. It’s frustrating, but also kind of freeing. I’ll take some time to reset, figure out what’s next, and come back sharper. Just sucks when loyalty feels like it only flows one way.
