I was fired 10 weeks from my first child’s birth, lots of things led up to it, I’ll list some. They threatened to garnish my wages to pay back medical insurance they didn’t subtract for, then I got my 401k statement and my allocations hadn’t been submitted, I complained. A superior smashed my work because I was doing it right instead of how he wanted it done, I appealed for mediation. My wife is pregnant they brought me into the office to smugly discuss my plan I was pretty much a bitch and said I’d need to take a day or two off once the water breaks the altitude was sociopathic. I got told to stay home for 7 out of 10 days then was let go without two weeks notice via text and the PTO they offered was retracted. Its a scam industry (hvac) so I am not surprised. But for fucks sake, I’m the only one working, why did they target me for their mistakes. I was just taking their shit and looking for a new job discreetly on the side. I found a better job but I can’t let this shit slide without consequences.
When I was finished with the project, we departed, and the project was discarded. ~6 months of work discarded. But before that, ~2 years of work was discarded when it was done.
So they continue to run on the same 2-3 decade old programs, and continue to fix bug to this day.
