It might because you say "me knew" it wad of " I knew"

Was this an office code of some sort? How did the rest of them know? Was it meant to be a meaningless and cruel practical joke?

Aww.. That's horrible. They got your hopes up, just to drop a major let down. I hope you get a job with people who aren't so rude. :)

That sucks op :( I hope you find a better job quickly!

By full time, she meant; gone from the company full time

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. Good luck with the job hunt!

Oh wow that's mean! Maybe your dream job is coming your way and you just needed to be free for it.

I guess she meant bumping you to full time unemployment

Sorry for your loss OP

Thanks for the kindness. Honestly, the shock of being let go has made this a less than fun week, but my boss was prone to this kind of catty behavior, so long-term it's going to be much healthier for me to work elsewhere. To answer some of the questions: We had put a meeting on the books at the beginning of January to reevaluate my role and talk about moving me onto a full-time schedule. At that meeting my boss told me she wasn't ready to make a decision yet and said we'd re-evaluate moving me to full time in two months. In retrospect, that should have been a red flag. Almost two months later to the day, she walked into my office at the end of my shift and told me that I shouldn't bother coming in tomorrow because she had eliminated my position. After I left, one of my co-workers sent me a text apologizing for how abrupt that must have felt. Apparently my boss had told the rest of the office that she had been planning since that January meeting to let me go, but she was hoping to get more work on a major project out of me first. I'm not sure exactly when my boss made those comments, but I am disappointed no one gave me a heads up that this was coming, though I suppose it wouldn't change anything if they had. Well, on to greener pastures I guess. I think any job I get after this one will probably be an upgrade. ;-)
