Surprise at work

Had a stressful day at work. Secretary was fired. We were watching a required online meeting with corporate office telling us how to react to client concerns about the roller coaster market. Secretary answered their cell phone and took off their ear buds to start moving things around. I thought an advisor asked them to do something for a client. After a while, they have 2 boxes of stuff packed up. I pull off my ear buds to ask if they needed help with the boxes. She announces she was fired. After 15 years and about to retire in July, she was fired over too many mistakes and a client's money order was done wrong. They don't care about all the things she did right, only care about mistakes. I helped her take one of the boxes to her car. I hug her and she tells me to be careful and be on time. Then she called because she forgot her curling irons, so I grabbed those, and her husband came up to pick them up.

Advisor comes out of their office and explain it made me nervous cause I am still learning everything. Am I going to be fired next week? They assured me I'm not on the chopping block yet and keep doing what I am doing. They will be hiring someone new and guess who gets to train them when I barely know what I am doing. There is hardly any training going on here.

A while later the other advisor comes in asking if she was gone. Seriously, you work with someone for 15 years and don't have the nerve to face them when you fire them right before their retirement. The one who called is in another office today. All day long I was full of anxiety trying to get things done. I'm still recovering from my mother's death, trying to get ready for the farmer's market in 2 and half weeks, buying things I needed for a long time, tariffs sank my inheritance in 1 week, and I really don't need more stress worrying about my job when I can barely function. I thought I could work there 15 years too and retire cause this place wouldn't go out of business like some places would. People retire and quit jobs to do rollovers, surely business is good no matter what happens to the economy. Now I have to worry about being unemployed again.
