Gave everything, walked away with nothing - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso FlexShopper

I started in the very beginning. True start up style, sitting at plastic picnic tables, didn't even have a real office. Just a handful of us, executing the big ideas of the executives. It was fun, and exciting. We were told that we were in at the ground level, and if we helped build the company, we would be rewarded for ever. I poured more into this job than I ever had in my life. 60-70 hour weeks. Late night releases. Working from 7am-7pm... then logging back in at midnight and working until 4am. Running on empty, but doing it because I was part of something bigger. After a year of this, the CEO brought me into his office. Told me that all of my hard work and efforts had been recognized. Gave me 10,000 stock options, told me I was an extremely valuable part of the organization. I continued with the 110% effort. The executives trusted me. On a few occasions, they brought me in to answer technical questions for new investors, or give presentations. I was the go-to guy for everything. I was handling QA, vendor relations, communications between the other departments, wearing many hats proudly because I new that I was making a difference and was part of something. Need an extra guy to help out in the call center... I was there. Need somebody to move kiosks... I was there. Need someone to smooth something over with a vendor... I was there. Didn't matter what it was... I did it. Then one day, out of the blue... I was told I was being let go. No real reason. No forewarning. No severance package. Didn't even get 2 weeks. Just let go.
