I’ve a really sturdy suspicion that I’m about to be let go from my new job. It’s been 8 weeks. It’s a totally distant position, and the one particular person I’ve labored with, met and talked to in your complete 200+ particular person firm is my supervisor. I’m so remoted. I’m a software program engineer and it’s solely me and my boss who’re answerable for this app. I had my one on one final week and it was extraordinarily damaging. He made some remarks that insinuated that he thinks I’m mendacity about my work expertise and a fraud. I’ve been doing this for 10 years and I’ve been profitable in my earlier roles.

So I’m depressing and it’s clear that there is no such thing as a means I’m going to salvage this. I additionally don’t want to keep. I began my search once more on Wednesday, and I have already got 6 intro interview calls subsequent week. And a second spherical is being scheduled for one. In order that’s nice!

Many of those roles require “digital onsite” interviews. What this implies is a video name that spans greater than 3 hours. It’s normally the ultimate interview spherical, and a chance to satisfy the group.

Even this upcoming second spherical interview, it’s 90 minutes lengthy. How do I step away for 90 minutes and never elevate suspicion? I really feel like I’m presently enjoying a sport of hen.

I’m additionally making an attempt to remain employed as a result of that is making my husband tremendous anxious. I gained’t be eligible for unemployment as a result of i haven’t labored there lengthy sufficient (USA). He’s very nervous about being the only breadwinner. I don’t wish to put that stress on him, but when it have been to occur, we’d be okay. I’ve greater than a yr’s value of emergency financial savings. And I’m already actively reducing down my spending. We may reside on his wage alone, with none of my financial savings.

Additionally, I’ve by no means been fired earlier than and I don’t know the way to behave/what is suitable! Is it okay to begin disappearing for longer lunch breaks if I already know I’m going to be fired? Ought to I take sick days? Is it alright to be placing myself first or is it extra applicable to give up? If I give up, what do I do with my resume and can it look dangerous to employers?

Wow that is such an anxious rant. Principally, I do know I’m getting fired. I don’t wish to keep, however I would like the pay for so long as attainable. How do I proceed to work at this firm whereas additionally taking interviews which are greater than an hour lengthy? How do I take interviews which are greater than an hour lengthy as a brand new rent on skinny ice? Ought to I simply give up?
