I agree 100% with Sea Cat. I didn't leave when the writing was on the wall and I thought my immediate supervisor was on my side. She was not. I was fired the day before I was to leave for vacation. They lied and manipulated things to make it happen. I wish I had walked out when I knew how badly I was being treated.

I had a new job before my accumulated vacation pay ran out.

Leaving is scary but leaving on your own terms is much less scary.
