I just found out that my contract won't be renewed due to 'redirection' at the company. I worked really hard in my role, but my new manager, who was supposed to be my manager all along, mentioned that he doesn't have any formal data points to justify renewing my contract. There are also issues with realignment and a limited budget affecting decisions. While I'm not entirely surprised, I do feel a bit hurt by the news. On the bright side, as a visa holder in the US, I've been looking for an opportunity to return home, and I really miss my family.
