You should be really proud of yourself for having the courage to step back and say "I've had enough of this" and walk away. It's an excellent quality.

That's sweet of you. I'd had enough for awhile, and was trying to do things the "right" way (line something else up and then put in 2 weeks notice and then work the 2 weeks out), but, everything culminated and once she pulled the BS performance review out of literally nowhere for the express purpose of ruining me with no chance to come back from it, with the MOST OBVIOUS timing EVER, that was it.

They have since officially processed it and paid out my vacation time, and the job posting was pulled; which is proof that I never had a real shot at it. Either she had it filled already, or it was never actually available. She started last June, and by October was screwing with me; now I wonder how far back she was planning on doing this. Like did she know the day she decided we needed the position, that I was never getting it? Was it all a conspiracy just to get rid of me? It doesn't matter, I came out on top regardless, but I will no longer be paranoid when I suspect someone else is pulling this, and it proves again that some people are just not good with power.
