My friend was fired today, but the boss only wrote 'performance' on the termination notice as the reason. I think they were a very hardworking person. My friend can't accept this; they were actually successful in their work. They aren't telling anyone anything. What do you think we should do in this situation? Should I offer support, or should I just let this invisible rejection be?
I experienced something similar too; my boss didn't give any explanation. I later found out that it was actually to hire someone they knew. The performance excuse is always vague anyway 😂
Have you tried talking to the boss? Or could it really be that another reason was given to your friend? 🫣
@kahvebitmeden we tried to talk but they just brushed it off saying 'company decision.' My friend isn't sharing any details, they've really shut down 😂
@soncaykaldi don't think that everyone is doing it to get their acquaintances. Sometimes it could really just be a wrong performance evaluation 🙄
They are legally required to clearly state the reasons for termination due to poor performance; check if there was a written performance evaluation form. If there wasn't, you may file a lawsuit.
it's quite strange to just say performance.
If your friend has been laid off, they have a limited time to apply for rights such as unemployment benefits. Make sure they don’t miss that deadline, even if they don’t ask for details, remind them. There should be a documented warning process for layoffs based on performance, the personnel should check the records.
