I literally think I'm cursed

Two weeks ago I told them my mom was sick and I might need some time off and now I’ve been made redundant. And because I’ve been there less than a year I don’t even get a payout.

So now I’m unemployed.

I really don’t know what to do at this point.

Is there a high demand for your skills in your field? Might take a month or two but can you rebound with another company without needing to change a whole lot?

I actually don't know what you do for a living..

I’m a media strategist; and I’m really good at my job. I’ve no doubt I will find something else but I just don’t want to be looking right now — I have enough on my plate. And if it takes two months I’ll be out on the street or my mom won’t have medical care. Or both.

Great. Ive been asked to have a meeting in an hour and HR will be there. So looks like I'm out.
If it's bad news makes sure you document everything and get legal advice

I'm assuming laws are similar to the UK so there is a process they need to follow

First thing is not to panic. Take a day or so to regroup and do some calculations on what you have and need and work back from there

^ what he said.

While the timing is less than ideal, you will survive this. Get support from your closed ones and look into your network for solutions. I’m sure by now you’ve got contacts in your field that can help you.

Given the current situation, would there be any objections to my sticking a google adsense banner across the top of the site? Not sure how much money it would actually make but hey...
