<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

My company just slashed hours to 'optimize sales opportunities'. When this announcement was made, I was on vacation and knew absolutely nothing about what was going on, and couldn't get any answers from anyone in regards to whether come the switch day, I still had hours, when those may be and even if I still had a job. Today, my first day back, I tried again to get in contact with someone and still no luck.

Finally, I go on lunch break and about 10 minutes in I get a text message from our team leader that just said 'I'm at the store, need to talk to you ASAP'. In my head, I'm thinking this is it, I'm officially fucked over and I'm losing my job.

I get back to the store and my co-worker is no where to be seen, just the team leader is at the store. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. I get stopped from entering the store:

'Coworker #1 has been relieved of their duties, effective immediately and Coworker #2 will be leaving as of the 6th. I will be getting people in to assist you, but I'm expecting you to take a leadership role in the store until we get everything settled. (My manager quit while I was away, also.) I feel like shit that everyone is gone, but I really needed this job.
<bot>: went on vacation, everyone got fired. Now have a buttload of work for no pay raise, and feel like crap that my coworkers who I thought of as friends lost their jobs.
