I think that I wouldn't take it too personally if I were you. In the first part of your post you stated that what you were told privately was known to managers before you and spread through the company via e-mail before it was general knowledge, so it sounds to me like some folks can't keep confidential information confidential. Since all that slipped out at the beginning, your folks might have been trying to keep if from occurring again, hence the no communication about it until it went to everyone. Would it have been nice if they had shared it with you? Yes. Even if simply by telling you at 5:14pm, before hitting "send" on the e-mail. But they didn't, and that is their right. I think I'd be more likely to take it very personally if I found out that all the managers were informed before the e-mail and that I hadn't. If everyone who reports directly to your bossie's had known about it in advance and they had not shared it with you, then that would be something to be disgruntled about, since you are all basically on the same level. But always remember that they have the right to tell anyone however they want to. And they may have made a mistake in their decision not to tell you in advance. They are human and may have overlooked it, or not thought it was a big deal. I would definitely be careful about keeping the personal feelings out of it. Professionally, as their AA, it would have been beneficial for you to know this before the e-mail went out so that you could get clarification on certain items before folks start calling and asking questions which you don't have answers for or aren't even aware of what can or can not be shared. In this way it may have made things smoother for them, with them fielding fewer calls or stopping to explain things again and again or to you as they crop up. But they made the decision and now you just figure out how it affects you and press on. I don't think it should be a major issue just because they didn't tell you in advance. You're an employee, and were informed at the same time all other employees were, so deal with it. Rise above the hurt feelings and continue with your professional job. And it sounds like this is what you're trying to do...
