Grr. I was informed earlier this week by the chick whom I was (until this week) still helping in my old department that there were “problems” with the way I put together a cover letter. Nevermind that the attorney’s only direct was to “do the standard cover letter.” Nevermind that this is how I’ve always done these letters and, for 6.5 years, they were FINE! And, nevermind that, essentially, she wanted to do it and the way I did it both REACHED THE SAME GOAL. No… that doesn’t matter. I didn’t do it her way so my way was wrong. So, I simply smiled and said “it’s just another way of doing it, both ways work” and then I joked that I’m “just so glad I’m not over here full time anymore” because of “all of the paper” she has to deal with.

It sounds to me that you have been dealing with a very insecure person who attempts to control others and put others down as a way of bolstering herself up. While she may need help, you are not a therapist and well to be rid of her. Sounds as though she was having a very toxic effect on you. Now that you have successfully escaped her sphere, you are free to enjoy other aspects of your job.
