As the title says, i will be leaving the current firm after this month. It was my first job after my undergrad and as much as i appreciate them for giving me the opportunity and wanna leave on a good note.. they are not making it easier.
After i put in my 1 month notice, my manager accidentally sent me a voice not intended for someone else in which he was saying that i am no 'value-addition' the work will pile up but me leaving wouldn't affect anyone. I was devastated..because i put in so much efforts for the last 2 years and this is what i got? I chose to ignore it and be the bigger person..
My manager has since been telling everyone how he thinks i have made the wrong decision and i could've done 'better'. He also told me that if i were to put him as reference for my new job he won't give me a good recommendation.
I told him that although it's not a big jump pay wise.. but the work-life balance and benefits are amazing and i get to live in my dream city. The problem with the current job is that it's mentally taxxing and i am always working from 8:30am-20:00pm which is ALOT for my mental health. I do not have any social life or hobbies outside work.. and i do not get time to pursue my studies. They made me work on weekends as well as national holidays but they are surprised that i am leaving and being jerks about it.
Shall i confront him over this or just leave on a good note still?
