I wasn't fired but I wasn't rehired after a contract expired. I carry no ill will, I know economy happens and they had no obligation to. But the reason was that my backend skills were lacking. The colleagues I actually worked with usually said they hated front-end, I found front-end to be my thing. Did front-end stuff for them. Fixed obvious bugs with the UI, made it responsive, etc. but nope, backend was lacking. IMO they had too much backend developers, but whatever ๐คท
Also the code was awful and horrible to work with. They had a CRUD system that, no joke, was literally copy and pasted between uses. Not fed from a universal script, literally copy pasted code. When I wanted to update the CRUD, I had to update every individual implementation which had also mutated over time. LOL.
I feel you, and I've passed over on re-up as well and know the sting. It's not as bad as getting fired, but there's still a feeling of rejection there.
I'm happier though with what I have now. It was stressful looking for something but I found a thing I like.
