Not great! What was supposed to be a regular biweekly update with my team lead turned into me hearing I'm being let go. The company is dissolving my position. Apparently because they believe everything I did to set up data pipelines and structures is so solid they just need someone to maintain it now (which will be a third party).

I definitely saw myself working there for a few years, now I'm back to looking for a job after just 1 year. Feels unfair and all the 'it's not personal, we love you as a colleague' is definitely not helping at all.

At least I won't have to come out to them which I was dreading... I'll just introduce myself with new pronouns at the next job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Back to the LinkedIn hellscape it is

Edit: forgot to mention that the worst part of this to me is definitely this week where we're still discussing details/severance etc. and I can't tell my direct colleagues yet. So here I am pretending everything is fine and I'm not actually super depressed about it until I can finally tell them next Tuesday.

I'm so sorry. Let go for good work. What a rotten, unfair situation.

That's how it feels. They don't deserve me though 💅
