I was recently told my services were no longer needed. I was the lone supplier quality engineer for 30 plants where a majority of our suppliers were in Mexico and their English was limited at best. They hired someone in Mexico and got rid of me in less than a week.

For months, I told my boss I could not handle all the supplier issues our plants are having by myself. On a given day, I'd get between 70 to 120 emails with about a third of those being in English.

Jesus. Good luck finding another job, it sounds like it literally could not be worse than your old one.
