There were a bunch of closed door meetings with upper management and the busy season was set to end in a few weeks, so the writing was on the wall.

I had some of the most consistently highest metrics so I went into our VP of Operations office and straight up asked if I would be let go on X date. He told me no.

To be fair, he kept his word. About 70% of the staff were let go on that date. I was let go 2 days after that.

That's cool. At least he was honest. /s
