Update! 'I finally left [nightmare] workplace': Overworked IT employee shares how their final two weeks went at their toxic job after epically quitting

When you are working in a toxic place, nothing is ever easy—that especially includes quitting. You either quit burning all the bridges behind you or you grit your teeth and try to leave in a way that keeps your professional status, even though your toxic managers and coworkers are making it super difficult. One IT employee needed to quit their toxic job, so they did just that. However, their last two week there were worst than heII. This was a long saga (see Part 1 and Part two) about quitting a very toxic work environment. 

After she put in her two weeks, her bosses immediately started bulling her into taking a consulting position. Maybe if she wasn't so miserable with them she would have done it, but she needed to get away from their toxicity asap so she refused. They kept bullying her and even tried threatening her with lawyers, but she stayed strong. She said it was the worst two weeks of her life, but she was finally able to leave! She is even considering blocking all her contacts from that job.

Read the entire ordeal and epic exit below.
