The company is doing fine now.

I guess I feel resentment towards myself for letting them treat me like that.

Its like I was brainwashed. They convinced me that those things were normal things to do. They told me I'm allowed to make mistakes, that I'm doing the right thing.

When I did everything for them, they told me they would never hire me back.

I just want to live my life.

My supervisor cut me off when he knew what I did. I regret it so much. It's been eating me up.
