I don't know what's worse: being let go after 2 weeks, or having them let you work for a couple of years, doing all the extra work and setting things up for them to make it so they barely have to do anything, and then dumping you like a piece of dirty garbage, after having talked about you behind your back and completely humiliated you the whole time.
