How did we get to this? WTF happened? To treat another human being like this. The pathetic little weasels cannot even straight out tell someone they’re fired. They have to play this humiliating game of pretending you can affect the outcome and that there’s something wrong with you. Satanic.

100% - I would have taken a simple "This isn't working out for us. We appreciate your efforts. Today will be your last day." over all this.

For insult on injury, they declined severance "as we do not offer severance for performance-related termination", after acknowledging that my manager had done nothing to assess my performance in the PIP (I suppose their claim will be that the performance issues led to the PIP).
