Separation from the company for a minor issue (would not have been fired for something like this in the past). I was not on any type of performance warnings in the past, and this came out of no where. At the time of separation, QL was already beginning to tighten the belt with benefits and perks. I did enjoy the role at the start of my career there. They had lots of incentives and really good pay if you were willing to work the hours. However, after a couple of years, the incentives disappeared and I was lucky to make half of what I use to make. I still have friends and family that work there, and they all complain about how much worse things have gotten. They rarely work from home now, there are no merit raises, there's much less flexibility, and every action they take is under a microscope. I now work in auto underwriting, and actually get to work from home, and have comparable pay to what I was making there. I know mortgage rates have increased and the market is slowing down, it's a shame a company like this will fire people to "trim the fat" so to speak, and I know a decent portion of the workforce has been reduced by termination. QL doens't "lay off" people, they never have and never will, either you make the cut when things slow down, or you get canned.
