her. Since people love to talk, I heard from 2 other reliable sources that she had no intension of taking me with her and lied to me for months. We always got along very well and I'm a very hard worker, always dedicated to her. Anyway, I've been devastated not because I will be working for someone else, (well maybe a little) but because she lied to me making me think it was a co. decision and not her choice. I have been obsessing and can't seem to get past this. I don't have to face her until the day after Labor Day. My question is, should I let it go and move on or should I confront her about lying? I think (but I'm not sure, she did this to me because I'm old. I'm in my mid-sixties and many years ago she told me she wasn't going to work with this other women because, and I quote "I don't want no old lady in my office" I am afraid if I make too much of a stink, the co. will get rid of me but, I am sick over the way she's treating me after 15 years! HELP

You let it go. It's presently stressing you out, which you could do without, and threatens to continue doing so until after Labor day.

And what would you gain from a confrontation anyway ? More ill feeling all round, no doubt.

You have a fresh start elsewhere in the company; look forward to it as an adventure and a break from previous routine. Make the most of whatever life brings you. It's too short to allow yourself to feel bad for long periods.

Excellent advice from OG. The situation you are in is not worth all the stress you are placing upon yourself.

just leave it. Decide whether you are happy with the position the boss plans to put you in, and speak to him about it if you aren't. You are losing a false friend: rejoice!

All the advice is very helpful, thank you
