So I'm a 22 year old mechanical & electrical engineering student. I've always been very enthusiastic about learning, so I've worked part time remote for a small consulting engineering firm for years. This is a Hungarian company, and very few of us actually speak English fluently. Well the company is doing well, they've hired a bunch of new staff in the recent years. They've also started to work with more international partners. They gave me the task of going through the old projects and translating the documents into English. See here is the thing, I've worked remote for this company since I was 18. I was very enthusiastic and my physical presence in the company was actually a downside for me. I could get shit done faster at home. I was very close with my boss, who was a very kind and fair man, doing his work on the weekdays and celebrating life on the weekends. Well the company has grown a lot since then. We've had a lot of new interns working remote and physical staff moving to remote working. This is where the problem occurred. Well Hungarian said physical staff are not very fond of remote workers. This is very common everywhere. In our company the physical staff have made it very difficult for remote workers to work well with physical staff. This is apparently a huge company wide problem with communication and coordination. I've talked with a lot of interns working with the company and physical staff & very few of them have a good attitude towards remote workers. I've been blind to this as I've always been on good terms with my boss who is one of the most senior members of physical staff. Well apparently that has all changed. First I get an email from one of the new staff stating that I have to change a technical parameter in a design file. I was very confused as I have never worked with this person before and I've done a lot of work with this project in the past. I've double checked my previous work and I've never seen this parameter in those files. I was very confused and decided to clarify this. I've replied to the email and wrote a long friendly message, explaining very clearly what I knew and why I was confused. First huge disappointment, I get a very short one line message, stating: "Generally Hungarian said not friendly, and do not use very long sentences." I was very confused with this reply as I thought I was very clear and friendly, almost a little too polite. I've made it very clear I've worked with this project and this type of work for years. I've tried to explain this in so many ways and friendly responses but to no avail. This has made me very confused and I've made it clear I was not comfortable with accepting work tasks from someone I do not know anything about. She was very very strict and said I have to blindy obey her instructions. I was not comfortable with this at all. I know I'm an intern but I've done a lot of work with this company. First I've replied with a message stating that I will not blindly follow someone I don't know. I've linked an article about a real world incident in Hungary. Well I Fucked up with this. This caused a huge butthurt. She & her friends has responded in a very venomous and vengeful way. Apparently this has reached my boss. The message I've received from him was very concerning to say the least. You see, I've known this boss for nearly 5 years. In the hundreds of emails I've received from him he was very kind and polite. This has changed in a very drastic way. I've received an email with a very cold tone. The tone was completely different from what I was used to. He was basically stating I should obey instructions of "Seniors" by heart. I've spent the last 5 years of my life working my ass off for this company. I've grown a lot as a person and professionally. I'm very proud of the work I've done. I've always been on good terms with my boss. This message was a huge betrayal and has hurt me a lot. I've replayed the email in my head many times. I've cried many times. I've spent so much time on this project that I've sacrificed my education and my mental health. I've felt like I've betrayed my family and I've betrayed myself. This email has been a nail in the coffin. I've finally realized that I was just a slave to my boss. I really loved my work. I've always been very enthusiastic about engineering. This company and this work has not only destroyed & betrayed me. It has destroyed the entire engineering field for me. I'm most likely going to drop engineering. I was planning to graduate with a 4.0 gpa. I'm most likely going to graduate with a 2.5 gpa, so I can spend time on furthering my physical & mental health with exercise and therapy. I've felt a lot of pain as I had to delete my very technical emails from the email of my boss. I've felt like I've had to let go of my love and passion for engineering. This company has not only betrayed and hurt me nearly beyond recovery. It has hurt thousands of people. I strongly believe that I am in the minority. I've always been very enthusiastic about engineering. I've always loved my work as an engineer. I've always been very excited about the future of engineering and the prospect of my future working as an engineer. I've loved every step and every stage of my journey. The pain I've felt in letting go of my passion for engineering is indescribable. I've felt like a part of me has died in a very tragic and traumatic way. I've also realized that this is most likely the case for thousands of people, who do not have the enthusiasm and passion I had for engineering. I've loved going to university. I've always been very excited to learn more about engineering and the new developments in the field. This company has destroyed all of that. I've realized that I have to let go of that. I've realized that this was a big part of my life. I've had to let go of the passion and excitement for learning and very technical work. I've had to let go of the excitement for university and the future. I've most likely lost my passion for engineering. I've realized that I do not have the time to further that field anymore. I was planning to finish my studies with a 4.0 gpa. I'm planning to finish with a 2.5 gpa. I've had to let go of the creativity and creativity of working remote. I had to let go of the comfort of working remote. I had to let go of the excitement & passion for learning. I had to let go of my future with this company. I had to let go of my dreams and plans for the future. I most likely had to let go of engineering forever. I've had to let go of so many things. I Fucked up with the wrong person. Well this person is now Fucling with me. I will not show mercy. I've received the email in the morning. I've made it very clear to my boss that I will be leaving his company but I will not Fucling go quietly. I've made it very clear to him that I will very publicly make my voice heard. Well here I am. I've made it very clear to him that I will share my story with everyone. I will very publicly make my voice heard. I will make it clear to everyone how this company does & very negatively effects its employees. I will share my story with everyone. I Fucked up with the wrong person. Well I'm Fucking with this company Fucked hard. I Fu Fucked up with the wrong person. Well I Fucked with his company Fucked hard Fucked harder than I would Fuck with myself. Fucked harder than I Fucked with myself. Well that's all I have to say.
