Just a few days ago, I had only asked about taking time off next month, when I was suddenly laid off without warning, leaving me no time at all to prepare to look for another job.
There were no pay statements. I requested a certificate of involuntary separation; although they verbally said they would provide one, half a month has passed and there is still no sign of it.
The original reason given for the layoff was that business was slow due to the pandemic and staff reductions were needed. However, when I asked again before leaving, they instead claimed that, as a long-term employee, I could no longer keep up with the required speed.
During the interview, they said the first three months would be a learning period, but I was laid off after working for less than a month.
