Raised the middle finger pretty high because upper management shat on two people who were both friends and very valuable to my business unit over my loud objections.

Had a new job lined up before I ever left.

Better pay, better benefits, better schedule, better security, better everything.

So you quit after you lined up a new job, but virtue signaled to management to make it look like it was over your friends?  That is what I think I read.

Waffles if plain. Pancakes if they have anything blended in like berries.

So much detail. There's laws against abusing employees... Is this a case of butt hurt or real abuse? In the details lies the most important part of the entire story, and there are none, which makes me naturally suspicious.

Congrats OP.

I hope the grass is greener on the other side.

Employers need to learn in not to treat employees like shit in a full employment labor market.

The old saying that employees don’t quit jobs but quit poor managers is appropriate here.

Good luck!

Had a 3 hour meeting with the company president today.

Said I'm welcome back any time.

Listened to my input. Told me I was right and that he made a huge mistake in this situation, but spent most of our 3 hour meeting talking about why I should not think he's an asshole.

Maybe it will be better for others.

I doubt it.

Still there until November 30.
