1. Leave big company of 1.5y for new job in different country
2. New company tries getting me a visa for 2 months and fails
3. Puts bogus blame on me and ends contract 2 weeks before my "temporary visa" expires coz their incompetent HR couldn't get the documents right.

Fuckers didn't have ONE COMPLAINT against me so UNASSIGNED me from COMPLETED Jira tickets to ruin my OKR stats just to build grounds for this (since last week)

And when I protested, blamed some automation but DIDNT change the spreadsheet. (should've rung some bells for me, but naïve me believed their reasoning)

Big company meeting last week. Engineering Lead put a slide just about me coz my fixes brought a 20-FUCKIN-X performance improvement.
He said "oh I put a slide about [me], I dont see it", HR who was in-charge of compiling the slides said "Oh you sent the slide too late so we didnt put it".

I shrugged it back then thinking oh well but in hind-sight Fuckers went OUT OF THEIR WAY to bury anything I did to build grounds for termination coz THEY couldn't get the visa.

kill me.

    So, now you're sitting in a different country with no visa and no job? That's really f-ed. If you have a good reason - I once left ukraine too late just by forgetting time. I had to do some talking but they did let me go since I was frequent traveler I guess.

    @retoor beyond fucked.
    At least in your case you've a valid reason, here coz the company hid its incompetence and put the blame on me, so MY career/record is ruined.

    If I had not put in effort, I wouldn't care.
    But the marketting dept will send out a "Amazing Product update with 20x performance increase!!!" newsletter this week. THAT I SOLO-ED. And I won't even be in the company when it goes out.

    Legit used-and-thrown.

    hey remember in college when your wizened professor from the silicon valley era put the fear of God into all you new graduates to always end terms well with a company because word gets around fast

    I believe that company has just burned themselves

    I wonder if this is a pattern for them. Like someone doing this shit on purpose.

    @Demolishun very likely. Coz in my product's repo I saw a LOT of people who aren't in the company with 5-6 months of idless between them
    So it'd be easier for them to hire, get it refurbished every few months, fire and save on salaries.

    PS: their 2nd highest selling product is a wrapper around a FREE, OpenSource product which they download as code, compile and obfuscate to hide the illegality. Then sell it at 4k USD/month to enterprise

    leeches of the highest order.
