    Font - So I just resigned from my job (small company) cause my manager would not pay me on time, he would avoid me on pay day and I would have to seek him out and ask why he hasn't paid me yet. I work remotely so we don't see each other often. Granted he wasn't always this bad, but he always paid me later than he was supposed to.

    Font - This year however it got worse as the company started doing badly. I'm an understanding person but what irritated me more than anything was how I'd have to ask him why I'm not paid instead of him informing me that things are bad and will salary will be delayed. So I started planning my exit plan.

    Font - We also had a big project that we were working on and was supposed to be presented for the clients. Comes presentation day, I don't show up, he texts and calls and I ignore him. Then later that day I emailed him my resignation. I thought i should make him feel what he's made me feel for months.

    Font - Creepy-Fig7894 OP 53 min. ago He might recover but he got none of the work for the presentation. I have the skills not him, so he'll have to go find a new person to do the job, which might take some time as it took me a month to to compile this, this is a huge delay for him

    Font - leftclicksq2+1 34 min. ago Maybe he'll recover. Reputation? No. I don't buy for a second that things were so "bad" that he wasn't making sure that he was paid. It was ok for you and possibly others to go without, but I guarantee that he wasn't taking one for the team.

    Font - latrion 1 hr. ago I find it's always best to let these people know why something happened. A lot of narcissists just think you decided to quit here they may not understand that it's because of this much inaction.

    Font - Doktor Vem +16 min. ago The problem with these kinds of "comebacks" if you can call them that is that the person receiving them practically never considers the possibility that they deserve it and instead just thinks that you were being a prick for no good reason. Kudos to you for doing it, but maybe keep a lookout for lawyers in the future
