Denied Better Position at Organization I’ve Killed 5 Years of My Life For

I've gone through two years of underpaid hell once COVID hit and it turned this shitty office into hell. I had an interview for another position at this organization that: is a far shorter commute, pays better, is a better workplace where I'd just be expected to do my work w/ little oversight, and I could've set my own schedule. Nope. I'm aware I'm not *owed* or was never promised anything, but I genuinely was a perfect match for this position, which I am sure is going to someone who just has higher seniority/is friends with someone on the hiring team, which is how it always goes. I genuinely want to scream right now, and have never felt more like quitting, except the day I overheard my sup talking about my mental and emotional problems to another supervisor out on the floor where everyone could hear.
