Fired by toxic manager...What should I do now?
I was fired today by my manager, I'm 26M, 1.5 yrs exp in communication engineering (software) . I don't accept this and I was pressured by the manager to go through PIP or accept resignation. She is very toxic and tells me in the workplace. She never treated me as a person. I'm not sure about how I can get a job in this market as I was majorly into testing... I'm feeling like I quit from life. I'm worried about the job market and what if I'm unplaced forever. She demotivated me. Gave very bad feedback. I have all contradictory points and clarification but higher management was manipulated by her.
What should I do? GOD Help me... How should I get out of this phase and start applying or prepare? I'm constantly seeing layoff news and bad market conditions. I had an ill father and mother whom I should take care of.
