No worries, I always do, just disappointed with some of the excuses my boss used to explain her decision. It was fairly obvious it was a setup to justify to her superiors her reason for bringing her friend on board without losing my talents to get the hard jobs done. Why else would I have received top marks just two months ago during my regular annual performance review, then this. For a solid year she had no complaints. Then when she finds out suddenly her pal is available and convinces management to bring her on board, I am suddenly the goat. It wasn't too hard to connect the dots, but what can you do? Just time to move on. My experience says once a person in that position has made up their mind, there ain't no going back. She even told me she didn't want to lose me, but that is wholly unrealistic. As soon as I come up with something else, the other shoe will drop.
