I stayed loyal, professional, and hopeful — and they discarded me like I was nothing.

I’ve been holding this in for a while, and I think it’s time to just let it out.

I worked at a tech company called In2IT Technologies. I went into the job with professionalism, loyalty, and a genuine belief that I’d be treated fairly. I was told there would be long-term growth and stability. I gave it my all.

But from the inside, it was toxic.
My team lead would belittle me constantly — question my knowledge, make me feel small in meetings, and set the tone for others to follow. A few teammates joined in, and it slowly drained the joy from work. I felt worthless.

I reported what was happening to HR — not once, but three separate times. Each time they brushed it off with vague “Let’s talk” sessions that went nowhere.
Eventually, HR scheduled a mandatory conflict resolution session — and my team didn’t even show up. No one cared. There were no consequences. It was just me, hoping things would change.

I stayed anyway. I stayed because I wanted to believe in what they told me: that I’d be there for a long time. I didn’t even care that the salary was insultingly low — I just wanted to do good work and grow.

Then one day… they ended my contract. Just like that.
No warning. No thank you. No conversation. Just done.

And the worst part?
I had to beg for my final paycheck. When I asked, they told me “You should’ve known it would be late.”

That broke me.

I don’t want pity — I just needed to say it out loud. I deserved better. And if you’ve ever gone through something similar… I see you.

Thanks for reading.
