Like most threads on GC, I seem to have stumbled onto this one by accident, but it's come as a pleasantly entertaining surprise, so I figure I'll give it a whirl.

I've moved on to plan B, but I would have appreciated this information prior to the interview. I would not have wasted my time and their time. The truth hurts.

This ship has sailed. I'm on to my next career move.
I can understand the unwelcome feelings toward that hindsight; I'd be angry, too. I'm glad you know the truth and that you are moving on. I pray that you find what is better suited for you, as this obviously was not the right place--not with such goings-on that were displeasing to you. I think it may have been a blessing in disguise because you were not feeling how things were run from the jump. Keep searching and you'll find something wonderful. However, I don't think it's the runnings of corporations that need your attention. If the disappointment of not getting a job made you take your limited knowledge of another man's character, compare it with his affiliation and jump to that many conclusions, you might have something in yourself to re-evaluate. What's more, if this situation was enough to make you want to walk away from what you once held so dear and, presumably, worked so hard for, then that is a situation you may want to re-evaluate as well. That one sentence about returning you "pin and letters" said a lot and, if you don't mind my saying so, if you're not going to listen to the advice other Greeks are posting(you might, but if you don't), at least listen to what your actions are saying and see if the thoughts and feelings you projected were ones that you possess and, if so, why on earth even consider such a permanent decision over such a short-lived situation. Outside of that, I'm not qualified to advise you further since I'm not Greek, so I'll end the psycho-babble here. Best wishes!
