I guess I take some solace in the fact that I am not the only one. The CEO had told a prior colleague of mine that she is a "traitor" when she left for another company after moving out of state. He reacted very poorly to my current colleague leaving as well, and gave her the same BS about having a "vision in his head of a position" for her. This is the same as what he told me a week ago.

What I now worry about is we are supposed to have our company-wide meeting on Thursday, which I would have to attend. I don't want to deal with it whatsoever, because in this meeting, I think the CEO would say something about my leaving to the whole company. We've already had a team goodbye lunch via Zoom. What more can people really say? Not much. I pray that he cancels this meeting, which happens fairly often.
