Zepto: The Empire Built on Sacrifices Will Eventually Collapse

I poured my life into Zepto — four years of blood, sleepless nights, ruined health, and distance from the people who mattered most — and this is the gratitude I get: a layoff, handed over like I was a broken tool to be tossed away.

I didn’t just work here. I built things. I stayed when others left. I fixed problems at 2 AM, carried projects nobody else wanted, and swallowed the stress so the company’s “fort” could stand. I gave everything — my body, my time, my sanity — and they rewarded me by treating me like I was nothing but a line in a spreadsheet.

Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks loyalty still matters: companies that survive by burning people as fuel will eventually run out of fire. Enjoy your fortress while you can — you’ve made it with other people’s lives. One day you’ll watch it crack, and you’ll know exactly who paid for those walls.

I’m angry. I’m hurt. But I’m not broken. This experience taught me the cruelest lesson: never trade your health and family for a company that thinks of you as disposable.

If you think you can build your empire on people’s sacrifices and never pay the price — keep watching.
