I got laid off today after three years of creating Tableau reports that were used by hundreds of people daily. I received stellar feedback for my work, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around why this happened. My director had been encouraging me to consider a management position, but I expressed that I love my current role and feel I have a greater impact in a technical capacity. I’ve always felt that management roles come with more meetings and less hands-on work, which isn't what I want, especially for the same pay. Since my director started pushing a coworker to learn my work, I began looking for other opportunities. Today, I got the news about my layoff, but on a positive note, I’m in the process of accepting a remote role that offers the same salary. It feels like a bit of a relief, even though the layoff was unexpected.
