A blind-siding experience - Anonymous employee Sovos Employee Review

I start working here and and feel comfortable and the orientation tells us that we have been hired as some sort of elite for performing a certain way on an assessment. Only a small percent of applicants become hires. In my first months I am told by my managers that I am doing a great job and I have job security after I ask during a review. Over time my manager tells me I am doing great but gives me "minor" corrections of which I make myself mindful. A few months ago, I come in on a Monday and see that my meeting with my manager is early. That is when I am told it is not "working out" and that it would be my last day. As I reflected on the experience I remember a high turn-over and wonder how many other had such blind-siding experiences. I wonder how many others spent the following weeks asking themselves questions like: Was this a temp job under the guise of a perm job? Was it actually my performance? Was I bad at my job and they gave up on my as they looked for my replacement? Did I make one mistake that was a deal-breaker to the company? Did a misunderstanding turn into a fatal error? Is there something i could have fixed if given a chance to improve?
