A good news update. My promotion was confirmed and announced yesterday and an hour later, the millennial resigned. Her last day is today.

Hopefully this signals a happier way forward for everyone involved.
Good news indeed, well done for remaining professional throughout. Can't have been easy going through that, I'm sure must have felt like exploding at times! Enjoy that celebratory bottle (or two) of vino tonight :-)

One of my favourite sayings - a bit of Sun Tzu

If you wait by the riverbank for long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float past.

This is as relevant in corporate life as in war...

Good for you for being patient and congrats on the promotion. Justice does eventually get done.

Rosie,

Firstly congrats, secondly congrats.

Did she give a reason for resigning and do you know where she's going?

Thank you all, it's definitely been a weight off my shoulders.

She declined to say where she was going however word travels fast in the profession and it quickly emerged that she's going to a good mid tier firm who are taking on her training contract. I had a strong suspicion she had gone for interviews for various reasons and long 'dental and opticians' appointments back to back.

She said the last few months have been very stressful and she needs the change. She had the cheek to come and have a very loud and awkward conversation with someone I work right next to by standing right next to me bleating about how difficult the last few months have been for her etc etc. I had to stop myself from either shaking my head or laughing out loud. The sad fact is that she continues to miss the point and still has no accountability for what's happened and she needs to change that attitude fast if she wants to do well.

Anyway, she's gone from my hair and I think everyone is relieved. She would come to our office and sit with earphones in, not talking to a soul in the latter days so everyone felt awkward and didn't know how to approach her after everything that's gone on. Now we don't need to tiptoe any longer.

Breadvan72 - will do.
