I requested 6 months of unpaid personal leave from my job so I can complete a graduate school program. Submitted my request Monday and I asked my boss today if he had approved it. He told me “it’s not operationally feasible” to let me take leave because I’m “too valuable.”
So I gave him my 2 weeks notice.
He was NOT ready for it and it was fucking delightful.
He also doesn’t know I already have another job offer for a place that is willing to work around my school schedule.
After I left today he texted me asking if I wanted to discuss this via phone. I left him on read. He’s acting like he got dumped and is begging to be taken back.
I can’t wait to leave that toxic waste dump!
