Any "professional" who does that is acting out of hurt feelings and loser emotions. Any attempt to castigate the board for the well she poisoned is ludicrous. She was a tool of the union and knew she would only gain its ire if she continued to work with the new board in a professional manner.

She was the one who sacrificed her dignity and operated out of emotion. Evidently, the new board passed on bringing her back knowng her true character.
