'It was the last straw for the team': VP undermines team of designers, they all quit at once, manager caught in the middle reports VP to HR

There is nothing worse than being caught in the middle of a toxic workplace dynamic. This manager had to constantly deal with a temperamental and disrespectful VP who routinely made matters all the more difficult for the manager's team of designers. 

The last straw came when the VP delayed a project for so long that the design team had to put together an entire marketing strategy for a prospective client in less than a week. When the day for the meeting finally arrived, the VP decided to disinvite all the designers and to ignore all of their ideas, as if all that work was meaningless. So, the team decided together to inform their manager that they would all be pursuing other job opportunities, which of course left the manager in a tough position.

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the consequences for the VP. For more, check out this post about an entitled coworker who was excluded from a birthday party.
