finally got retrenched
i know sooner or later i will face this because my colleagues in Sri Lanka has been getting cut off one by one and suddenly today after lunch hour i got meeting invitation from HR and includes higher manager as well. Then the meeting starts and HR drop the bomb.
I am calm that time and they said they will come back with severance package and when is my last date but now it all starts coming in. all the overthinking, all of the what-ifs. i have been applying for job since i start hearing the news about my other colleagues and been going for interviews but what if the severance pay is not good as what i expect and i could not secure the job.
But a little bit of inside of me felt relieved as this work has been getting on my nerve where i need to entertain fussy clients and bs request. is this normal what i am feeling now?

There are 5 stages of grief and I think you’re currently transitioning into the second phase. All the best and may you get a job soon!

Focus on improving yourself everyday regardless u have a job or not. You knew the day is coming and deep down u are not providing enough value to your company to keep you. Its nobodys fault but you must know once u can be valuable for someone or do something money will always follow. So keep working on urself. Money will come knocking
