Just like in baseball, politics play a huge part in many places of employment. I was given a few options last December at my work, and I took the "let's separate" option, because I basically did not want to work where they did not like me (the phrase used was, "Your numbers are good, but we'd rather have someone else.") Life is far too short to let such minutia bother you. If money is a big factor, I understand your feelings much more. I was able to negotiate a severance agreement and use savings thus far, as I try to build a clientele in sales myself. One of my former employers pushed a lot of people out before I left, and that company still struggles and many people have gone on to great things. At the end of the day, it's just a job. It's not you or what you are. I'd much rather clock in, put some stuff on shelves, and clock out anyway.
