Knocked it out of the park. I kept "dignity, honor, class" top of mind.
I told a few close members that i wouldnt be seeing them next year (the board didnt want any announcement of it) and they were outraged. They think firing me was a big mistake. It felt good to receive compliments and offers to help with my job search.
It was difficult to be "on" all week with my replacements around. I just tried to show class, honor, and dignity the entire time.
The board told me my reward for doing such a good job is that the new mgmt will start answering the phones a month before my contract ends so i can get on with my life. Thanks, i guess? I'm underwhelmed. I look forward to a future job where my value is recognized.
I felt like i won because i ran a great meeting, i was as professional as ever, i kept my cool when they thought i wouldnt. I felt good about leaving on a high note.
I biked in Sedona today and it was just incredible, no words. Got lost for a bit, saw no humans for a few hours, came back refreshed and ready for a margarita.
