Feeling hurt and dumb

I have worked for a small business for 3 years. This has been one of the most stressful, anxiety inducing jobs I’ve ever had. I don’t have benefits, I get paid less than 30k a year and I have what feels like the whole company riding on my shoulders. I’ve felt unheard, disregarded and disrespected over and over again.

I put in my two weeks and my boss tells me today that they’re offering my job to one of the new employees who has been bullying myself and other coworkers and wants me to spend my last week training them. I am so angry and feel so disrespected. She tells me it’s nothing personal and its purely a business decision. I told her I will not train this person on my position because I am protecting my mental health and I find that it is not a good use of my time as they will likely not receive my training well since they tend to second guess anything I say/do. I feel so hurt and so dumb that I thought my boss actually cared about me, my well being or anyones for that matter. I truly have bent over backwards for this job to get nowhere. I can’t wait to start my new job which I’m honestly taking a pay cut for but need to get out of this toxic place. There is so much more to this but I needed to vent to strangers.
