carebirdy,
I'm so sorry that happened. How inappropriate of the management at your company to act that way! It sounds like they were incredibly unprofessional and unkind as well. I wish you well in finding a more compassionate work environment. You obviously have some skills (i.e., being a good writer) that would serve you well in many different fields. With time, maybe you can find something that feels less stressful and like a better fit.

Take care,
garden gal

p.s. Your Halloween costume sounds fabulous!
