Don't think for a minute you outstanding employees - especially long-term - who built the company won't be missed by your customers! The extra care you put into your work was what made WF so special, it was a community we as customers felt a part of. You will be sorely missed. It is seriously their loss.
Don't lose your hope in your next endeavors, just because you got burned by WF. Standouts will always be standouts wherever they go. The world needs you! Stay good.
