Today was the last day in the office where I have worked for more than 10 years. The last year has been really hard for me and I've had a lot of time off. I had asked to be assigned different duties when I went back to work as I was being triggered by the things I normally deal with. Eventually, after 10 weeks they agreed to me moving to a different team in the New Year. On top of that they told me my contract will be terminated in April.

Normally when someone moves on there is a little gathering and a presentation where the managers say thank you, that sort of thing, then the suitably embarassed member of staff is given the afternoon off. Today was Christmas party day and my co workers were nice and said their goodbyes and gave me a gift. My boss came in for the party but left again, he didn't say thank you, he didn't acknowledge my contribution over the years, nothing. None of the managers came to see me either, I suspect because my boss hadn't told them about it being my last day.

I feel so hurt that after 10 years I didn't even rate a "So long and thanks for everything". One of my co workers told me they had arranged the gift because they could see my boss wasn't going to. It really hurts that someone who I trusted, someone I worked hard for over the years, did this to me, especially as he knows what I've been going through.
