I deeply respect the fact that you are self-reflective ... the politics being messy is one big part but you know the others.

What you have done STILL has value... after a few months when things cool off, and if others also self-reflect and show humility, Hive will still need your kind of skill and maybe there will still be a way to offer them in a way that is fair to you. If not, your skill still has value. So does your ability to self-reflect and realize the steps in the processes you have gone through -- that, in an un-reflective world, is PRICELESS. Others will see it ... unfortunately, maybe this time politics has caused things to be overlooked that should not have been. But there will be a next time, and new opportunity. I wish you well, sir.
