Yeah I've also learnt the hard way when i joined i kept seeing colleagues reporting after 2 to 3 hour of the completion of given task and i was working with full honesty mind you it did frustrated me a bit that here I'm doing heavy lifting and others getting much better pay scrolling reels whole day and since i was completing my task way faster they started giving me more and more while other did not had anything to do and tbh I don't mind i wanted to grow so i did what i needed to do but when i asked for pay raise they kept ignoring or avoiding discussion, in the end i slowly became like my colleagues and slowed down my task completion speed.
I agree. My exit was also a bad experience. I exceeded all my limitations and responsibilities. I developed a 10-year legacy Laravel project, moving it to Spring Boot microservices, managing architectural design, data modeling, technical documentation, ETL, and all related tasks. I earned the Employee of the Year award and was chosen to visit the offshore client. But in my final year, while everyone else celebrated their birthdays with cake and gifts, I was ignored. This demonstrates the management's true character. After four years, I saw the harsh reality: the management and the company operated without ethics, morality, or humanity. This has fundamentally changed how I view everything.
Very well said. 2026 has been a year of complete downfall for me. Nothing good is happening for me or things are happening very late for me!
Happened with me too. In at least two companies and yes it does hurt and feel bad. Never make your company your life unless you realize over time you have right boss, and systems in company. Your personal life, education, career, profile, learning, etc should be independent of your job. My learning in life. Never forget.
Could you elaborate more what went wrong?
What hurt the most was not losing the job, but the way everything ended. Allegations of misconduct were mentioned against me in official emails without any formal complaint, inquiry, or documented process ever being conducted in my name. After contributing heavily to projects, systems, and responsibilities beyond my role, being reduced to accusations and hostility during the exit was mentally exhausting. The work environment gradually stopped feeling professional and started affecting me personally... constant pressure, uncertainty, and fear of saying or doing the wrong thing eventually took a serious toll on my mental peace. Sometimes a workplace doesn’t just impact your career, it impacts how you see yourself outside of work too.
Its ok, time will pass. You will move on from these things. Just keep learning & growing.
Never get attached to any company in the future. This how the world of IT/corporate works. Its never gonna change.
Going through the same phase, uncertainty and toxicity.
Learning it the hard way.
