Take Care
The pandemic has been hard on everyone. Some people were kicked out of their job, while others had their hours slashed to non-livable levels. This person was fortunate enough to find a job in Europe, but not long after, they received a message from their old boss. Apparently, their former company needed them back at work immediately.
So, without giving it a second thought, the OP returned to LA, signed a one-year lease on an apartment, and returned to work. 20 days later, the boss let the OP go because the company was “headed in another direction.” Hopefully, it was bankruptcy, seeing as how the company did the OP so dirty.
