Thanks for asking. It all worked out OK. I had a good relationship with my manager, and he actually seemed a bit embarrassed that he had to put those remarks in the review.
I also had a very good relationship with both the VP of engineering and the senior VP who oversaw the entire product and who I'd worked with before on other projects.
I did leave eventually, but it was for unrelated reasons.
Thank you for getting back, that was quite a cliffhanger ;)
I think the reaction to your story is so strong, because many can relate to having a good work situation which eventually turns sour through something like this. It is also good to hear that handling it can be done gracefully. Like many things, it is a two-way street.
