By Should I stay or go? - 17/02/2017 17:00 - United States - Seattle

Today, I was supposed to hear from my supervisor about whether or not my company was going to be letting me go. I've been on continual probation for the last 6 months, waiting to hear when they'll decide. She'd said last Friday that I'd definitely hear from her today. It's now 5:30 p.m. She's gone home. FML

Today, it's been five days since I started my new job in a new town, just signed a lease on my new apartment too. Now I find out the company's closing down, and since I'm still on probation, I'm told I'm not entitled to any kind of severance. FML

Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML

Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML

Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML

Snow day

Today, I returned from wading in a foot of snow to go to a hearing and back, and opened my emails. My boss had sent me an email on Friday at 4:30 telling me I didn't have to go in. On Friday, there was the company Christmas party. He was there. So was I. He told me nothing. Nor did he call me. FML

Stuck

Today, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML

Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML

Today, I had to go to work on my day off to suspend someone. Afterwards, I got a call saying I can't suspend the person in question because the supervisor who told me to suspend them was wrong. FML

It might be wise to search for another job and get prepared to leave. Worst case scenario, you're ready to go if they ask you to. Best case scenario, you have two jobs to choose from.

If they're being shitty and keeping you up in the air like that it's unfair. Quietly search for a new job and if you find a better one that wants you, give your two weeks notice and get the hell out of dodge. Don't wait on them.

I'd say is time to start looking for another job. They may be pushing you off thinking you will quiet, so they don't have to fire you. A place I used to work for kept a person on the schedule with no days till they eventually quit. People can be shady

Until you are told your being let go. Keeping coming to work. I would ask on Monday and if she doesn't answer by Friday ask again you don't want to sound to pushy with your boss

Are you a new hire? If so, it is not uncommon for a company to have a standard, perhaps even 6 month, probationary period. If that is the case, it is common for the date to simply pass unnoticed. On the other hand, if they put you on probation for some cause and you have been on probation for 6 months, find another job. Good luck either way.
