Negotiation: Got HR to confirm the decision was tied to rewards/performance, but no severance or reinstatement.
“I emailed HR and pressed for a reason after I was let go, since I had not been given any prior warning. They only repeated that it was based on rewards and my manager’s HR-fed talking points, so I did not get any meaningful reversal.”
