Is it possible the department had a funding cut, so if you were close to 90 days wherein youd get a raise, they had to cut you? Ive never seen someone get severence for being fired if employed a short time. Actually here you dont get unemployment unless you worked somewhere a while. I dont know. Is the work what you want to do?
I had unemployment when laid off after maternity leave. I should have milked it, but AH was off doing his thing and I wanted a throw it in your face I dont need you boost
