I walk into my manager's office. The HR person lets me know my role is being eliminated.

Later on, my manager says, "I'm sorry, I hard a difficult time defending your contribution."

This can be taken as me not doing my job, but was a different matter. Because the next sentence was something similar to, "You have helped this department a lot, I just didn't know how to explain it."

Listen to the video for what I have learned about that moment.
