Wow, Allyson. That'll be awesome.
Suela, that's awful and stupid. Are you willing to look outside the Bay Area? Like, say, up in the PNW?
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You know, I honestly don't think you'd manage to burn any bridges were you to tell them they've treated you shamefully and dishonestly and that you are resigning immediately. They know it. They know they've earned it.
THIS. You're no chump. Absolutely, 100% no way. They have treated you horribly. Utterly horribly.
And I look forward to hearing about the frantic phone calls you get when the person who is hired is unable to actually do the job.

Amazing--I just talked to the hiring manager, who told me they didn't even hire the vet--they hired another civilian from elsewhere in the agency. And then he tried to claim that I wasn't as qualified, at which point I really had to get off the phone.
I will be giving notice as soon as I can find someone to take my calls.
And they've known for weeks. I don't think they even tried to get to me, it was just easier to hire internally.
Unbelievable.

Because books.

Wow. Sending evil vibes his way now. What a shithead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE.

Oh for fuck's sake, Consuela, they are such shits! I agree you should resign immediately and just walk away from that shitty ass environment. They've been treating you horribly for years.

mr. flea offers his sympathy, but says he's sadly not surprised.

Why is it that they always manage to make it WORSE the more you hear about it? Honestly, you'll be so much happier when all the dust has cleared and you have a job where they treat you with respect.

You are a better person than me, because I would go in to the office today, back my desk, and resign immediately.
And they've known for weeks.
And this is why I would resign immediately. Fuck them.

Happily, a friend I just texted just said to call her boss, they might need some short-term help.
