'I'll find out whose stuff I'm getting when the surprise package arrives': Employer calls ex-employee 16 months after they quit for being called 'insubordinate' for using FMLA, claim they have their 'personal effects'

After you leave a job, you might never look back. Maybe you connect with your former employees every now and again if you were particularly close, or maybe you ask them for a reference. But you've probably crossed your t's and dotted your i's and don't really want to hear from them again. Quitting a job can be an emotionally taxing decision. 

You have to tell a workplace, that you've probably invested a massive amount of time and effort to, that you're not going to keep showing up there every day. It can be as awkward as a breakup. You give them a list of reasons and you hope that they understand. You put all your ducks in a row to make sure that you have a smooth exit. You might even help them look for your replacement if you're an especially nice person. But once you leave, you hope you made a clean break.
