Grow up and learn the realities of the job market.
Why are you addressing this to Marcotte? What if, one day, you were just doing your own thing as you always did, and someone offered you a job based on your current body of work? You accept and relocate, and someone else from a competing company purposefully attempts to sabotage your company with parts of the very work that got you hired?
She didn't misrepresent herself, so telling her to "grow up" makes no sense. They were the ones who hired her, so why don't you tell them to "grow up" and learn to be more thorough?
I also notice no one telling Donohue to "grow up." Fine then..."stop acting like a bratty, spoiled child, Donohue!"
It's easy to call her a "quitter" for quitting (even with the physical threats), a "brat," for having personal opinions that were overlooked by her employers the first time around, a "bully" for who knows what reason, and many of the other colorful terms I've seen here.
I'm sure you all feel you know best what she "should" have done in this situation.
