Laid off again!!

My manager at LogMeIn, Amanda, held a meeting with me today. The first time we had one, about 2 weeks ago, I figured it was standard to assess how I was doing. I've had some rough patches - asking questions I knew I'd asked before, but I finally felt like I was doing better and that all the information was starting to sink in.

So then, Amanda looked me in the eye and said "I'm sorry but this isn't working out".. or something just like that, and told me that they are going to let me go. She said that while she "really likes having me there", and that I have a "great work ethic", and that she felt terrible, they just doesn't think the job is a good "fit" for me, and that I'm not "on track" to where they want me to be (after ---ok...I counted, because of the holidays - TWENTY EIGHT days.
I was seriously stunned by this news. Amanda kept saying how badly she felt and that she knows that I would do great in something else, but that they have new products coming out and they wanted to depend on me for training, etc. and didn't know if I'd be in the right place when they needed me to be.


It was all "it's not you, it's us" stuff... We needed to redefine our needs going forward… and we just think you are not going to fit into our future paradigm BLAH BLAH. I really liked it here.. as a job… but not as a “career”… AND since I imagine that SOMEONE in HR knows my AGE….???

I just really seriously thought of that.. I had considered that age discrimination might be a factor, but the fact that they can only VAGUELY say that they don’t see me here GOING FORWARD…LONG TERM…..

I don't know if I should try to fight this or just go down gracefully. I thought this was the perfect job for me... I've had my struggles to understand the technology, but I've been resolving issues and I think I'm in a better place than I was 2 weeks ago when my manager and I met, but apparently they don't think so. I felt so lucky to have this job and now....

You know, each time I was laid off, the company could have chosen to keep me on - and they didn't want to. So how am I supposed to feel?? I feel like a big LOSER.

I don't even want to fight it. If they don't want me, they don't want me.
But I don't think it's right to judge me after just 26 days! Count the
holidays - it's only been 26 days!!!! I asked if they could re-asses me in a month but they don't want to take the chance that they'll feel the same way in a month.

I could talk to the customer service VP tomorrow, i could even appeal to the owner if i wanted to, I suppose, but really, what's the point?
