More vibes to Ann. I have had many glasses of wine tonight, so of course that puts me in a mood to lend advice, but much of what you said reminds of my situation at Disney. I think because I was taken by surprise I didn't do what I would have advised others to do. If I had it to do over, I would have reminded myself that I had nothing to lose, I would have documented all of the conversations I had had, and I would have asked them to put their offer in writing. It's to their advantage to have you exit gracefully - if it's possible, get them to pay for that grace, and then collect unemployment.
