Update:

As of Monday I'm a free man (Friday was officially my last day) and I didn't get to air out the last few details due to the execs were all in the meeting..but that's ok I think it was meant (or not meant) to be. My confidant in the company told me however that certain people have been questioning the real reason why I left (because my performance have been great and things seem to be ok on the surface and career wise they thought that I was doing well) and they're speculating that my manager was the reason why I left and turned out that he made more enemies in the company than I thought.

Anyway...left the company with my last good byes, a couple additional managers shared their personal thanks and offered themselves as references. The execs also asked for my home address to mail in their letter of references also..so I think I'm pretty set in that area.

Sent my last parting email and celebrating the rest of the night at a Brew Fest and finishing with a couple rum'n coke

That's all
