Contractor. Badge stopped working. No call. No email. Nothing.

Two and a half years on the same team, longer than most of the full-timers around me.
I found out I was done because my badge stopped working at the turnstile at 7:45am. A security guard came over and politely told me my access had been terminated. I waited for a phone call. No call came. My contracting agency eventually received a form. It said "engagement ended: business requirements."
No notice. The agency gave me two weeks under my contract terms. Two and a half years, and I wasn't worth a conversation.
People talk about how Meta treated direct employees. That was bad. Contractors are further down the food chain, and nobody writes about us.
