I honestly didn't know what to say to her, but I was annoyed that she started her presentation with singling me out about the trip.

Nevertheless, she made my life a living hell as she had favoritism with our boss and I finally gave in and left the company.

The only thing unfair in what you posted was her treatment of you and her assumption that you should have given her your upgrade.

will mean much less travel, and clawing my back to 1K will likely never happen again. I’m ok with that.
