<p>Agree, do not write a letter to a VP. This is not a good thing to do. Contact HR is there are any unresolved issues or questions. A decade ago I encountered the world’s most awful boss. I gritted my teeth and finally found 'the next job." I never said a word to her manager, the CEO, although he and I had a good relationship and I probably could have. About two years after I left a friend was having a drink with the CEO and he told my friend to tell me that ‘the wrong lady went out the door.’ These things happen for good or for bad and almost always what goes around, comes around. So if the OP’s D’s boss is a train wreck waiting to happen…there will be a crash at some point by that time she’ll be on to the next job and the news will make her day.</p>
