I’m a web developer/general I.T guy for an architecture firm. Over the past year my boss has acted like a man child, has expected complex projects to be finished in completely unrealistic times, has threatened me that he will “come to my house” to “discuss the future” (basically gaslighting me that he was going to fire me) and prior to me working remotely, ignored me in the office making life incredibly uncomfortable as I “broke his trust and the golden rule” for requesting to be able to work from home. He ignored all attempts to fix communication, has insulted me privately to co workers and has overall just been shitty.
The best part is, it seems I’m jumping ship at a good time. The business is going downhill due to his poor decisions and actions, they’re losing profit and although I feel for my co workers, he deserves that.
I’ve been working on my portfolio, have prepared my CV and cover letters and have given in my month notice and today starts the job search. I genuinely feel liberated. I’m a little nervous about not landing a job but I trust my talent and hope to find somewhere that actually appreciates me, not some scumbag business owner paying me
19k a year to put up with his shit.
Rant over, thanks for listening and here’s to the future.
