‘This isn't company policy...’: Employee happily resigns from job due to ‘toxic company culture’ and boss demands to know sensitive details about their next role, even though no other coworkers faced the same fate

Think about the first time you rightfully quit a job. What did that feel like? Freedom from the chains of capitalism, even when the talons of our corporate overlords try to reel you back in with promises of riches and everything good? Probably. The employee in this next story was hoping for a similar feeling, but was surprised when their boss began giving them the run-around after they handed in their two weeks.

Just when you think your company can't be more toxic, your boss decides to act like you signed multiple NDAs and non-competes. They demand to know where you're transferring to, even the client list of the company. You'd think if the boss put in as much effort in being a morally sound human as they do being the opposite, they'd probably be a better person, and you probably wouldn't have quit.

Toxic company culture is a hard pass for most, rightfully so. If you dread going to work every day, it seems like it's a no-brainer. But, when you have a boss as hard-headed and entitled as the employee's boss in this next story, how do you win? Scroll below to read the full story.
