Yup. At my last job, I did my best to produce quality work, I got an award for making zero errors in a year, and I was one of the go-to people for new employees to ask for advice. I trained new team members, even while I was still a temp myself.
Eventually got told that I was joining the team that dealt with all the escalation emails. I only knew how to work on 2 of the many types of products that went into that folder, but it was mandatory to work every single email that went into that box, 2 hour shift, every email had to be answered by the end of the 2hrs. I also only had a single 30min super quick “training” on how to even answer the emails (really complicated template system, which I still did not understand by the end of it)
I told my manager I wasn’t comfortable working in that box, considering they never trained me to work on most of the other products, but she ignored me and said I’d figure it out.
Luckily, I only had to do it once, then they delayed my actual start date for that task, until I got laid off (along with most of the rest of my team) 3 months later. YAAAAAAY. :|
They got rid of my whole team to get rid of me? Lol, I don’t think so. The job was mortgage related, and the work volume tanked in 2022, after blowing up in 2020.
I was just a barely above minimum wage minion, with no team members under me. I honestly think that along with there not being enough work for all of us, they wanted to eliminate WFH teams.

Sounds like they needed an excuse to get rid of you easily.
