Got let go today

I was let go today without any formal write-ups leading up to my performance review. I was informed that my termination was based on performance-related issues. Should I consider contacting a lawyer? I’m feeling really lost right now. I had a strong track record with my previous two employers.

  1. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. It can be incredibly tough to lose a job, especially when you feel your performance was strong. Here are a few steps you might consider:

    1. Review Your Employment Agreement: Look over any contracts or agreements you have. Check for terms related to termination and performance reviews.

    2. Document Everything: Keep records of your work, any positive feedback you’ve received, and communications regarding your performance. This can be helpful if you decide to speak with a lawyer.

    3. Talk to HR: If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to your HR department to gain clarity on your termination. Understanding the specific reasons can help you evaluate your next steps.

    4. Consult a Lawyer: If you feel your termination was unjust or if you suspect discrimination, it may be worth consulting a lawyer who specializes in employment law. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

    5. Reflect and Recharge: Take some time to process this change. It’s important to prioritize your well-being during this transition.

    6. Network and Job Search: Start reaching out to your professional network and consider updating your resume. You have a strong track record, and there are plenty of opportunities out there.

    Remember, you’re not alone in this, and many people have been where you are. It may take some time, but you’ll find a way forward.
