You knew better than to hand the reins over to an associate, but now that’s she’s been humbled she’ll listen to you.
Watch it because today’s goodwill gesture isn’t as guileless as it seems. A boss or client has gotten wind of your dissatisfaction and is trying to buy your silence.
People are slowly coming around to your point of view, but careful not to push. They still need to fill in the blanks for themselves.
It’s weird having a conversation where you avoid discussing the real issues but this paves the way for a full disclosure in the next few days.
If someone’s going to threaten to take back something s/he gave you then you should return it anyway because it was never yours to begin with.
It doesn’t look like you’ll be moving on to greener pastures soon, so put on a happy face when greeting people you thought you’d seen the last of.
