Was let go from Principal Financial Group almost a week ago with zero heads up after working there for a year, they did the same to a couple of other ppl as well. Literally halfway through a normal Monday workday with no warning, Slack stops working and Figma no longer loads. After shooting them an email to check, two hours later the recruiting company emails back saying today was the last day. No warning, all compliments from their end up to that point. Professional liars. Beware!
