Just got a text from her that she just quit and walked out.
She's been complaining about her boss for months. This boss has a reputation for being a bit difficult to work for. The lead of the team that my co-worker is part of, retired at the end of last year. My co-worker's team was rolled into this new boss. One person already quit and my co-worker has been complaining about her new boss for months and has been looking for a new job. Apparently the boss told her team to take on another project and my co-worker pushed back, saying that her team is already stretched thin and that they might not make their Q3 deadline if they take on this new project. Apparently the discussion got heated this morning and the boss ended up saying, “Just fucking do it, ok?” to her in front of everyone else. She quit on the spot and walked out.
Good for her. Hope she finds a new job soon.
