This Issue's Dilemma:

 

Burning inside instead of burning bridges

After over five years of service, I recently "retired" from a company to start my own business. I gave the standard two-week notice and started preparing to help with the transition. The company cut my two weeks short, and my manager was disrespectful to me during the process.

I'm furious. I did good work, was loyal and honest.

I'm still burning inside despite trying to forget about the company. Nothing works. The company did nothing illegal, so this doesn't call for a lawsuit. How do you work past these nasty feelings? I think some action will help me get over this, but what?

Should I talk to my ex-manager about this or a senior executive?
