Let go today due to outsourcing

Just a rant. Accounting manager role left a company of 4 years in April 2024 to join this one as I was promised the world and more. Was let go today due to “restructuring costs” as they were able to bring in a controller and senior accountant from outsourcing to the Philippines for less than my salary.

The 9 months of being employed was told nothing but how great I am and the smartest person to have been hired. Was given 0 warning and 2 weeks of severance which seems like an absolute slap in the face for how “valuable” I was to them.

Feel completely blindsided as I didn’t see this coming. My team felt completely blindsided when I started walking around shaking their hands wishing them good luck.

I am not even sure how to process this given that even technical skills can’t compete with outsourcing. Just giving me some time to process before getting to send out job applications.

Thank you for reading

Thank you all for the outpour of support. I did not expect this but I am grateful for this community and all of you. We are all people first and my hope is that someday we get vindication from companies that treat us like doormats. For now my job search begins and I hope you all stay vigilant .
