I'm glad you did both. Your experience is almost exactly what happened to several people I know, in one way or another.
I know not everyone likes to read, but the links I sent - are priceless. When you have a bit of time, I would at least read this one: http://www.mediate.com/articles/davenport.cfm It is a coldfusion site ... :) This is particularly telling: "And sadly, the victims did not have a reputation of not performing well, not meeting organizational standards, or who could not get along with others to begin with. Quite the contrary, more often than not, the targets had been esteemed members of the organization. " The people I know? Esteemed members of their company. 100% or above ratings when evaluations were done. Year after year. Never any issues. You know what they had wrong? They made too much money. ;) Or they were better than their superiors. And that alone cause some bosses/co-workers to be "bullies". People don't like having their inadequacies shined on them.
