‘The final straw’: Employee resigns after her micromanaging, narcissistic boss denies her PTO request and provides no bereavement when her loved one passes

What does it take for you to consider quitting your job? When do the daydreams of slamming your resignation on your narcissistic boss's desk begin?

In any case, these examples are definitely grounds to get the heck out of your company. No job title is worth the disruption of your mental peace, and time is the most valuable asset we have in our lives… Wasting it on mental anguish seems like the wrong thing to do.

The employee decides to resign because in their 20 years in the field, they've never experienced anything like this. Scroll to read.
