Lookback: 6 weeks, then fired with no explanation

“worked 12-16 hour days, 7 days a week in China”

Fired after saving company from humiliation with my solo project efforts

What I wish I knew
"Bosses will assume mistakes are due to lack of knowledge, not bad code"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't give it your all, it won't be appreciated"
