#JobChange #WorkplaceDrama #GoodbyeBosses
So, I finally took the plunge and left my job today, and wow, what a whirlwind it was! 😅 Just to give you some context, working under my boss felt more like a game of chance every day. It was like they were tossing dice and spinning wheels while making decisions that impacted all of us. Enough was enough! Here’s how my last day went down:
- The Farewell Speech: After I submitted my resignation letter, I had a meeting with Boss 1 and the other boss, who usually dodged meetings. Suddenly, he decided to show up! Boss 1 started off with a long-winded apology, repeating himself for what felt like forever. 🥱
- The Awkward Question: Eventually, Boss 1 asked me about a task I’d been re-assigned from the week before. I had no updates because I was busy with a different project that they threw me into without warning. His poker face was *something else*!
- Company-Wide Announcement: Fast forward a couple of hours, and out of the blue, Boss 2 called me for a surprise meeting where everyone was informed I was leaving. It was super awkward watching them express their sadness while I just tried to get through it. 🙄
- The Last Graze of Guilt: Just five minutes after my shift ended, Boss 1 cheekily called to say goodbye and casually asked if I had finished my tasks. I couldn’t believe it! Did he really think a goodbye call was the right time to check up on my workload? 🤦♂️
Honestly, I’m so relieved to have left that place. It’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I hope to never cross paths with those bosses again! ✌️
So, what about you all? Have any of you experienced a similar goodbye at a job? Share your stories or tips for leaving a toxic workplace! 💬
That sounds like a very toxic place. The two bosses were trying to do mind work on you. Good thing that you left
You don’t go through their formal process… you just resign via email and have all your provided electronics/sensitive documents turned in before you shoot off the email. “I am resigning from my position, effective immediately….Thank you all for your continued support…” if they complain, you just toss corporate language at them… “I know this change is abrupt, but this is change is needed for my own personal well-being, I wish you the best…”
cc your boss, your work groups, etc so everyone knows you’re leaving and isn’t surprised. When they ask you to do a post-employment survey, tell them you respectfully decline (if providing one was part of your work agreement, obv. You should do it).
Formally resigning and going through a corporate process after you resign is calculated corporate fealty. If you have nothing to gain from the exchange, you shouldn’t do it.
That is how my manager was from where I just got laid off. He pulled all kinds of crap so he wouldn’t be the one getting laid off from our acquisition. He demanded that none of us talk to anybody at the new company the same way he had demanded our team not talk with each other. We broke that rule, but we were smart about it and would put each other in each others’ phones under different names. He also had a spy. So, even texting with each other or chatting was hard. We always made up excuses if we were seen together. The spy, who was related to him would even follow us into the bathroom!!
Fuck those people. They’re totally shitty. Congrats on the new job!
Another galasso boss…. Bye bye.
>…and I hope to never see their mugs again.
Unless it is a dark night and you’re wearing a balaclava and carrying a baseball bat…
Why didn’t you kissed their asses one last time, to make them feel important…??
