You Gave Them Two Weeks—They Gave You Nothing
No warning. No goodbye. Just exile from your own life.
No Eulogy for the Career That Raised You
You followed the rules.
Gave your notice when it was time to go.
Worked overtime without complaint.
Laughed at meetings that didn’t deserve laughter.
Stayed late. Showed up early.
Did everything right.
And they gave you nothing.
No final conversation.
No handshake.
Just a locked login and an empty inbox—
your whole career erased behind a firewall.
Just like that.
One minute you were part of something.
The next, you were an outsider
to your own timeline.
No box to pack.
No chance to say goodbye to the ones who mattered.
Just silence.
Loud, echoing silence.
You gave them years.
Built your life around those hours,
those titles,
those rhythms.
And now?
You’re staring at a career that didn’t even get a eulogy.
There’s no closure in an error message.
No dignity in disappearing.
And grief has nowhere to land
when even your badge doesn’t recognize you anymore.
They demand two weeks’ notice.
A final gift of loyalty.
But when it was their turn?
They gave you none.
And now you’re left holding memories you’re not sure count anymore—
because no one tells you how to mourn something
that vanished without permission.
You gave them your notice. They gave you your absence. And now you’re grieving something you didn’t even get to say goodbye to.
Still Sitting With It?
Sometimes the ache doesn’t move. It lingers. It asks for more. You don’t have to act yet. You can stay here. Feel deeper. Or follow it into something else that hurts in a different shape.
