I'm feeling bittersweet with a tinge of betrayal. My employee has been assigned to another store. The sweet part is that I've done such a good job training her that they feel she can run her own store. I'm proud of and genuinely happy for her. The bitter part is that now I have to begin the process of searching for someone else and going through the extensive interview sessions and then long training in order to get someone at the point where they are not 'bad', not to mention saying goodbye to any personal time off for the next couple of months and also having to deal with winter on my property, which is supposed to be quite nasty this season.

Finally, betrayed because my immediate supervisor knew about his idea for her for months before he said anything at all to anyone and then he told her not to tell me until he could 'surprise' me with the info, which he did today. Not cool, man. Not cool at all. All of this is dumped on both of us at the holidays so both of us could potentially lose vacation time (that doesn't roll over).
