On the plus side, I negotiated to work remotely for a few weeks, due to needing to relocate.
So- I was actually able to work both my current job, and the “new” job without losing time for either job.
So, on the plus side, I didn’t lose anything, and got an extra paycheck for a few days. But, man, that would have been really shitty if I had relocated, and THEN got that notification.
As another interesting note, I discovered the other head-dev was only getting compensated 30-40k a year… for literally managing a world-wide system. He doesn’t work there either now.
What the hell? That should be illegal if it isn’t already.

Did your original contact allow for them to just terminate like that? No minimum?
You know, that got me curious… I went back and found the contract.
#1- There is this questionablly illegal clause in it.

But, yea, absolutely nothing in the contract about this swap-a-roo.
