Sorry to hear that.

My suggestion would be to put your energy into finding a new job.

- Do the minimum at work that you can get away with

- Spend the rest of time looking for and applying for new jobs

- Try to fix any problems that prevent you from finding a job

For example if it's a location thing, look for more remote-friendly jobs.

If you are not getting interviews try to debug your resume.

Its mainly a location issue, I've been seeking remote jobs, but a lot reject citing no previous long term remote experience.

You can still get remote jobs if you pitch it right. Basically you need to emphasize ability to work independently and communication skills.

1. "here is project I designed and built on my own"

2. "our team is distributed across two offices, I collaborate with people in other office"

3. "I wrote some code for open source project"

4. "I help customers debug their issues over email/phone/chat"

etc.
