I feel you brother.

Happened to me few years ago.

My ex-boss chose to relay the news to me and asked me to leave citing bad business as the reason.

and he chose a very good time to tell me , just 1 week before CNY.

that was the worst ever year ,and lowest point financially in my life.

It was just a temporary setback.

He could have chosen a better time or at least offer me some 3 months notice. It was done very abruptly.

Not that I hold grudges against him, but as a human I think he failed miserably.

I pulled through, so will you. As for your relatives, those who really care for you would ask you to take your time and find job. Those who just want to watch "movie" , then you can just ignore them.

He just gave me my last salary and told me that I am no longer needed, that I could stay another month with him.

I left the next day, still in shock , and was angry then. The next day when I went packing, he was so "cold" and looked like a distant stranger.

Humans can change in 1 day, amazing.

I didn't visit my relatives that year. Went to light candles and listen to sermons in the temple instead

actually there is no point to fight for position in a company that does not want you anymore. It's all about rationalizing a loss, and usually it would be very acrimonious.

A good boss, would sit down with their employees to discuss their termination, and give them compensation, or at least give them a few months notice.

An abrupt termination speaks a lot about the nature of the boss, poor communication skills, and lack of compassion and empathy.
