"so-called" low performanceThat's rough. What was their reason?
Can you prove that you haven't been underperforming? It may be something you can contest? Not sure what country you are in though. If they were firing your for that reason they should have shown you actual proof of this."so-called" low performance
3 people dismissed in the team of around 20 people (2 during probation and 1 after which is me), in the past half a year
Yes I lost my grandma 3/18, and lost my job 8/18. My planned CTB date is 10/18, but C doesn't ship N directly to my country. Such a sad storyIt is one of the most traumatic events in life, after the loss of a spouse.

It's a very difficult time for lots of companies right now and lots of staff are going to be on the chopping block across the world. If you can honestly say you feel your performance was good then it's probably because of the economic climate. Sorry to hear that and I hope you find something else soon.
I'm so very sorry to hear this. This is such a difficult time already.
We're there performance reviews along the way? I feel like they shouldn't be firing you unless they gave you feedback along the way that suggested you were underperforming.
In any case, wishing you strength during this tough time. Hoping the next job will be a more positive and lasting experience.
Don't worry bro.. You won't be fired... You are going to be there... I am sure that they haven't asked you to leave yet.. Just keep going back to office and you will be fine there.. You have lots of skills. You have proved your skills to be there in the first place. Do not give up.. Rat race is real and we just need to accept it.. Once you accept it the pain goes away.. Good LuckYes I lost my grandma 3/18, and lost my job 8/18. My planned CTB date is 10/18, but C doesn't ship N directly to my country. Such a sad story
Actually I'm among the best performers of the same level engineers in the team and have abundant outputs. However, it's hard to argue. Computer industry doesn't have clear KPI's. Evaluating by e.g. number of commits in Github, number of bugs fixed etc. is not enough. Also hardness of each task is difficult to be quantified. So that's why it's easy to judge in a subjective way. You can be judged as low performer just because a small mistake you made during the time, or by comparing to senior engineers. That's why it's hard to prove I'm NOT underperforming or to have an actual proof of this.
It's some East Asian country, but doesn't matter. Our company is worldwide (as you could guess from #12). But it's definitely not normal that a team have up to 3 people dismissed in the past half year, compared to other teams in the same site or over the world. Also there's lots of incompliance occurring in my team as reported by several of my teammates so that a teammate also fired recently is suggesting I write appeals to our CEO (doing something meaningful before I CTB).
Performance reviews given out yesterday where I got insufficient results. Each field (bonus, stock etc.) 0 or approximately 0.
Not sure how it'd go through. I've just started to place the order of N from A. Probably I'll be able to find the next job with more positive and lasting experience. Probably I'll be already gone then.
Honestly, I don't wanna be there anymoreDon't worry bro.. You won't be fired... You are going to be there... I am sure that they haven't asked you to leave yet..

If they don't appreciate you, they don't deserve you anyway.
Sounds like you have excellent skills and can get another job very easily. Have you thought about moving to another country? Your English is great, and in East Asia there is too much cutthroat competition and "work till you drop dead" culture...
I also work for a big IT company and it seems like the biggest reason for lay offs is budget... If they can hire someone cheaper than you, it's bye bye. Or if the management/bureaucracy doesn't like you because you're not "friendly" enough. It rarely has to do with your actual performance, because many people do next to nothing and still get promotions based on how much they kiss the boss' ass. Sometimes I wish I'd get fired, because I hate my job, but I suppose when it actually happens it's quite devastating. So take care of yourself, best wishes to you.
