she was too childish to be a professional and do what was right.
I worked for a small company once that did this when someone left and they treated her badly. As a result, the entire team fell apart after and the business failed, as the woman was the social glue and kept them centered.
Hopefully one of the other teams hires you as a contract worker, it certainly makes it easier when you are familiar to them!
I had some meetings today and while no promises, it looks promising for end of Q1. I will keep hounding them ;)
