Also tell them that they smell. One of the few opportunities you can do it, so you should do it. https://preview.redd.it/nz9lp430nska1.png?width=2876&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=74b535ee8fae6c92ff88dabac77d7ba3c0ff7a90

I realize this is the anti-work subreddit, so delete if not allowed, but I figure the best place to find ways to be a better boss is by asking the people that have been treated poorly by bosses/employers. I possibly have an interview for a big promotion. The manager leaving said I should expect a round of interview questions, but this boss also tends to talk out of two sides of her mouth and is definitely one of the worst managers I have ever had. That said, it's her job I might be taking, as she plans to retire soon. I've been a manager before, but it was some time ago, and this would be overseeing a much larger team with multiple departments.

I told her i came into work today…

Hi all! I'm handing in my resignation tomorrow and would like some input. For context, I live in the Netherlands and I have 1 month notice period. I've been working at this place for 2,5 years and it became really toxic about 5 months ago when my team leader quit amd was replaced by direct management. Since then, overtime has been demanded, many emergencies had to be solved by me despite not having the sufficient skills, every week we're reminded that we're not making our target goals no matter how hard we work, all in all it's time to run. My dilemma is mainly about the conflict between how enraged I am by everyone pretending that this working culture is normal and how afraid I am of confrontation. I hate getting in conflicts with people, but I feel the need to say something at this point. So tomorrow I'm handing…
