I got an email from my boss this afternoon asking me to call him. I was at a party so I couldn't call him, so I texted him and asked if everything was ok. He said that he had decided to change the way he was currently operating the business and that he wanted to let me know what had transpired so far and how everyone was going to be impacted. I immediately thought I was being fired, FI said no way, so I asked him if my position was being eliminated. He said "the short answer is yes". I'm devastated. HE explain that currently there is not enough business in house to support my salary. He said ideally this would be temporary, but he doesn't know if the sales staff will be able to generate the kind of business to support a full time marketing person. He wants me to possibly do some contract work, which I don't know how I would pay my bills with just that.... He said that these last 3 months were the worst in the history of the company and that he is very disappointed that they were not able to adequately support my position, and that I am a bright star!
I'm supposed to call him tomorrow, but I don't even know what to say. I don't know if Monday is my last day or what. This never happened to me before, I feel so lost! And I'm so embarrassed to tell my friends and family. This is such bad timing too with the wedding and me having to pay almost $3K on taxes before the 17th.
Sorry for the long post, I just need to vent and I don't want anyone else to know about it yet. I'm really lost at this point
