'He couldn't run that shift without me': Worker quits and toxic boss can't handle the pressure, gets fired

You'll never be appreciated in a toxic workplace until you're gone. Even then, instead of being grateful for everything you've done, they'll take to blaming you for all their own mistakes the moment you're out the door, making you a scapegoat for their own mistakes and incompetence. The problem is the remaining coworkers and friends you left behind in that toxic environment will keep their mouths shut for fear of drawing unnecessary attention to themselves, leaving your name tarnished and yourself blamed for projects that you had nothing to do with—and that didn't even take place during the period you were employed.

Even as they outwardly deny your importance to the organization, in the final days of your notice period, your seniors will betray their own thoughts as they frantically scramble to reassign your duties and maintain continuity, the stress and uncertainty in their eyes telling you everything you need to know about the actual effect your resignation is having.
When this worker found themself working with a manipulative control freak of a new boss at a job they once loved, they decided to call it quits, leaving their new boss exposed for how incompetent they really were and resulting in them being fired than three months after the worker left—just as the worker had predicted.
