Awful boss gets comeuppance after employee writes essay to entire staff about his poor management: 'My toxic work environment has just worn me down'

Sometimes just quitting isn't enough. If you have been working in an unfair, unjust, and just all-around unprofessional work environment for a long time, merely saying "Sayonara" isn't going to give you the satisfactory exit you deserve. 

This Redditor had endured a ton of extra work and responsibility. Having worked in the non-profit space for quite some time, he was accustomed to being overworked and underpaid with no rewards for taking on extra responsibility. So after numerous attempts to reason with his boss, he decided to put all of his feelings down in writing before ultimately quitting the industry and pivoting to higher education and academia (another problematic world, but that's another story).

He wound up writing an epic essay detailing his boss's poor management skills and explaining how they were damaging both his personal morale and the productivity of the organization at large. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section.
