I was recently let go yesterday for "poor performance". I was given a termination notice, but the reason for the termination is not indicated in the notice (so it can be interpreted as a layoff). The reason was communicated to me verbally by HR, not by management. The question is, should I even bother with giving an explanation, or should I simply state that I was laid off? I can definitely explain the termination (as it involved management decisions that led to my having to work a miracle in order to deliver results, which of course didn't happen - I am trying hard not to blame the employer, but it is what it is).

Sorry to hear that... If the topic of the layoff comes up during the interview, you would want to provide some sort of context or reason. If you can explain your layoff for reasons such as downsizing, cost-cutting, reorg, etc., that would be ideal. If not, I would explain the impossible circumstances (requirements, projects, deadline, etc.) as the reason (rather than blaming the employer). In other words, if you have to, blame the circumstances rather than the employer. Hope it helps. All the best.

thanks bro i didnt get a termination letter so i got laid off i was like 16 or 17 tho im 19 now

Oh I see. If it comes up during the interview, it may be helpful to emphasize the fact that the termination happened when you were a minor. And then explain how you have since learned and grown from the experience and it won't happen again.

I'm dealing with a unique situation, I'm 55, been at the same company for 30 years, I'm in the pension system. Recently they stopped offering the pension to new hires, simultaneously they out of the blue decided I now suck. So it's a disguised restructuring.

@callmeishmaelk767 9 месяцев назад

Oh, and went on a hiring spree of new low paid employees that don't get a pension.

@elevationcareer 9 месяцев назад

Oh man, sorry to hear that. That's terrible... The level of integrity with some of these companies is really appalling. Are you asking how you should explain your situation during an interview?

@callmeishmaelk767 9 месяцев назад

@@elevationcareer yeah, I think just being straight up sounds reasonable. I mean, being at someplace for 30 years shows dedication I would think

@elevationcareer 9 месяцев назад

@@callmeishmaelk767 yes i agree! 30 years certainly demonstrates dedication.
