My boss at my temp job just asked me if I was "comfortable with today being my last day here".
Uh, comfortable? No work = no pay = very uncomfortable.
So...no. I'm not comfortable. But thanks for asking.
Apparently the powers-that-be decided that I had put them in a place where they could take over my project without a problem so they don't need me anymore. In other words, I did such a great job I worked myself out of a job. I guess. They might just hate me but don't want to say anything. I guess I'll find out from my staffing agency. It's kind of like being scolded by your teacher, which is LOVELY.
I am so fucked.
No one could hate you. Seriously, that's not possible. You probably just worked yourself out of a job. That shit sucks big time.
I'm so sorry.

Are you shitting me? That blows. I'd have bitch slapped whoever asked you that.

Comfortable with losing your job with no notice? I think management euphemisms has reached a new level of twisted perversion. Don't sweat it; the temp agency will find you something else, maybe something better. PMA, girl. (Positive mental attitude!) :-)

Yep. They be the fuckers, you be the fuckee. :-( Sorry to hear the news. Hang in there, you'll land on your feet!

Your reputation probably just shot up so high at the staffing agency they'll have four or five jobs lined up for you!

Oh, wow...that's really awful. :( I hope everything is working out okay.
Something similar happened to me a couple of summers ago. I was hired as a temp for a project that was supposed to last all summer, and I was a "go-getter" and finished in about two weeks.
I won't make that mistake again.
