shytty hand you got dealt my dude.
It happens tho... I would be willing to guess you were a black man at a job surrounded by model minorities (flips, mexicans, etc) with cacs in management as the reason you faced so much resentment for your (so called) promotion.
Hatin ass negroes will do you in quick as hell too tho, what you probly failed to do was take your grievances to human resource while you felt the hate bubbling. You needed to document real world examples of the hate and by far your
biggest mistake was allowing the CEO to fukk you around in public while benefitting from your work in private.
If you had a paper trail of that kind of duplicity going on you could straight sue the b*stards, plus 200 dollars is a horrible severance pay they might as well have given you a box of Newports and Puma sweats.
