You step into your boss's office, your heart hammering in your chest. This is gonna be good. Breathe in, breathe out. They'll take it well, you're sure.

You say the words, watch your boss's face fall, and realize that they did not, in fact, take it well. Quite the opposite. Oh well, if they take it personally, it's their problem, you think. But then they give you the cold shoulder, act strange, and make it weird for both of you. To each their own… but why?

This employee gave their two-week notice to their boss, and even worked a few days extra, despite having already quit. They made it super clear that after their last day, they wouldn't be coming back. Their boss became angry because they hadn't found anyone to replace them… and that's the employee's problem, how? Ugh, management. So entitled, taking your goodwill and ruining it for everyone.

Things went downhill, which you can read about below.
