If I were you, I would go. The reasons I'd go are two:

1st: You want to leave this job on good terms, so that future employers are likely to get a good referral from this boss.

2nd: Have dignity and hold your head high. If this is what those people need in order to make reparations with you/themselves, let them have it. Holding a grudge over this will harm only you (well, your family, too, if you get grumpy over it)-- forgiveness is really for the forgiver, not the forgiven.

This is a lousy situation, and I am so sorry you're going through it. I hope that in four weeks, you have peace about the situation and I hope that employment finds you quickly.

I think you should go. I second the reasons stated by DohDohBird. I'd think of it as a celebration for the job you have done. Tough decision though..... Maybe tell them where to go AFTER they pay for lunch? LOL!!!

Kim, I have been in your shoes. I had a very good pay job with a very well known company. I was there for three years, and the job was ending. The company ran out of money and couldn't pay me anymore. This was the second time this had happen to me in a 5 year period. Talk about being frustrated. They also took me and a few others out to a luncheon with the bosses. I would agree with DohDohBird on this. I kept my chin up, and went on with life. I did recieve a very nice reference letter from the boss of the company, which did help me to get another job. Only difference was, they didn't hire someone else to do my job. I'm so sorry that your going thru this. It's tough, but there maybe another job out there just waiting for you. That's how I had to look at things.
