I have had this job for 2 years - my first real job. It has been very very stressfull for the last 6 months and it feels like everything is falling apart in the company. It's a small work place with only 6 people in total.
A week ago my boss wanted a meeting and I got a feeling on what the subject may be. I was right about my thought. I was being fired because he feels like everything is falling apart mainly because of me. Though, I don't feel the same way, I think more it's the whole team that failed.
But the most weird part. I'm getting fired, I then have 3 months left, though, he says that I can in those 3 months show my value for the company, and if he thinks that I again have value, I can stay.

Who the hell fires an employee and right after says, you can stay if you prove your value? I don't really feel welcomed here anymore.

My motivation have drastically fallen the last week and I'm just sinking more and more. Maybe it's a good thing to get away and get a new job that values me and doesn't stress me the hell up.
I've been the only developer for over half the time here and I can feel that.
I just had to get out with this, so thanks for reading my small rant about my shitty life :)

    If I was in this kind of situation, the 3 months will be used to get a new better job.

    We're here for you man
    It's probably time to hunt for a new job, doesn't really make sense that you need to prove your worth when you already have worked for 2 years at a place

    I'm already searching after a new job. This it not how you motivate employees to work better. It's just sad for them, that I'm really needed and they potentially go bankrupt later this year anyway.

    If you dont feel appreciated then the company is the problem
    Some companies are shit bro while some will respect and value you.
    I suggest you look for something new

    You shouldn't even still have the feeling that you want to stay there, that's not how you treat humans. He thinks your skills are not helping company, he can simply say: Things are not working out.

    Focus on getting a new job, don't care about this place anymore, and good luck :)

    @SpeedyCate Yeah but dont look back, if the company is nothing for you its okay. Dont take the blame on you.

    Just do what you like and code for a better company ;)

    The place is falling apart because of your asshole boss. In my experience, I now would have told him just that: it's your fucking company, so take your codependent finger and point it at yourself. I'm concluding this meeting as I have many calls upon my time. If you wish to discuss something of importance, you know where to find me. Of course I'd know my arse was going to be canned after saying this, but at least I would've gotten to speak to the slime ball the way he deserved to be spoken to.
