I was laid off from my temp job yesterday, and my last day is next Friday. It's a mixed bag because I have a job offer that expires next week and I'm also waiting to hear back about another interview that’s in the offer stage. When I started, I learned that the team was looking to hire a permanent employee, which made me wonder why they didn’t just keep me or the other temp worker. Eventually, they hired someone else, and my workload dropped significantly, leaving me with days where I had nothing to do. It was frustrating, especially after a leadership change in the summer. I asked if my performance was an issue, and I was reassured that I did good work, but the team just became too crowded with not enough tasks to go around. I was initially told I’d be guaranteed full-time through August, and even got another month guaranteed during a meeting, so I’m left questioning if I did something wrong. The other temp is still on the team, and we had split responsibilities, which adds to my confusion. I took about a month to acclimate to the job after being underemployed for 1.5 years, and I felt I was doing well based on feedback from my superiors. After discussing it with others, they suggested that I might not have stood out enough, which could be true. This layoff has thrown a wrench into my plans too. I recently signed a lease with my girlfriend, and we were set to move in together soon. The job offer I have would require me to move out of state, while the other job wouldn’t. I felt good about my interview for that position, but nothing is guaranteed yet. We got a good deal with the first month of rent free, but now she might need to find a roommate or I’ll have to cover my share while I’m away. Initially, I didn’t feel the impact of the news, but when it hit me, it felt overwhelming, leading to an emotional outburst. I think I might need to seek some therapy to help cope with this situation.
