Been at this company for 4 months as a data engineer. When I started their codebase was a mess. All the code was in one folder with subfolders, the scripts were dependent on one another even if they didn’t share the domain problem, their version control was “call the IT guy to grab the backup”. In the first few months I set up a Github organization for them, put all their code into a git repo to start version control, got them to install and use IDEs instead of just VS Code, refactored some of the codebase to use SOLID standards, automated some tasks, transitioned them to a new Snowflake warehouse, and fixed several issues that was breaking their workflow. Today the CEO told me that this is an at-will state and he let me go. Didn’t explain why, just asked for the equipment back.
I didn’t get any write-ups, no one complained about my work, I was always looking for improvements, even the CEO thanked me a couple months ago for writing a word document to my managers on how I think the team can make improvements. They actually followed that doc and have been happy with it. This came from nowhere because no one brought any complaints. Today I am lost. I just need to vent and let this out.
No reason is a legal reason, unfortunately.
Damn america fucking sucks, OP just come up north bud we have maple syrup

As if they were able to compare themselves and learn anything.
Was going to say this myself. Our politicians don’t care. They have the power they want.
I don’t think that they are capable of sweating
Ontario is also “at will”. I think a lot of Canada is, if I remember right.
As a german, what the f is even at will? They can fire you whenever they want for whatever reason they want? How are you all living like this?
Pretty much, at-will means the employee can quit for no reason and/or be dismissed for no reason.
I wouldn’t call it “living” either…
Copious propaganda, debt, and distraction.
This is wrong.
