My boss is preparing to drown under the work load he would endure

I'm resigned 2 months ago due to a lot of reasons, including too much boring tasks for to few money, and I still have a month left. I'm at the head of the commercial department (and by at the head, I mean I'm the only one working here, resulting in the overload of work) A month ago, the head of the execution department, who could have taken a bit of my tasks, has announced her pregnancy. A week ago, it was the head of the financial department. Today, one of the main secretary. I just saw the life exit my boss's eyes 😀 I almost regret quitting. I would have waited for the busiest day to pass by my boss, rubbing my stomach, complaining about recent morning sickness lol

Give my promotion to another, good luck asking my help

So I work for a large UK Bank, the last two years I’ve been working towards the next step on promotion. Mainly because I can then get the F out of month to month pay as the rise would clear my debt. I find out they are promoting somebody else to do my job, sideline me with a shit project hoping I leave. Well FU, I spent two years being relationships with people and the data gathering and you are expecting me to help and give you that information. -Deleted everything -Removed all access to anything -Slack off -Ignore all asks for help “not my job” My new project gets canned, new boss doesn’t care, so I’ve spent last month sitting at home watching tv

CVS proxy vote. I’m voting the opposite of all these.

I quit because my boss canceled my interview for another position without my consent.

That's a story from a couple months back when I used to work at a corporate hellhole in the pharmaceutical industry. I was a technician and applied for an analyst position within the same company/site I was working at. After a week, I get an email from HR with my interview date and time, which was more than a month ahead of time. I immediatly warn both my supervisor and the person in charge of scheduling that I would need to be available for an hour on that given date for an interview. They both confirmed it was okay and marked it in the schedule as a “meeting”. Fast forward to the morning of the day of the interview, and my supervisor tells me that the workload is too high for that day and that I -have- to cancel my “meeting”. I respond by telling him it's not a meeting,…
