For about 8 months I have been dealing with this narcissist, having my time off requests denied repeatedly, other people on staff quitting and not being replaced, and my work hours increased without any bump in pay, I went to my boss' office last week Friday and handed him my resignation letter and told I'm leaving the company. I'm even giving one week notice, which I thought was generous. (my friends told me I should've just told him and left for good, especially after how I was treated. When I gave him the letter he just looked at it for 20 seconds and said “I can't have you leave” I told him sorry but I already accepted another job. It was towards the end of day Friday so he said we'll discuss this today (Monday).
Well this morning comes around and he calls me into his office and puts on this big pity party and trying to tell me how me leaving puts him in a terrible position, how overwhelmed this will make him (almost laughed in his face when he said that), and how bad its going to be for everyone else without me there. We went back and forth for 25 minutes with him trying to convince me that I'm not going to do as well in my new job as I am here, finally I just told him a lot of it comes down to money, which really seemed to annoy him. Oh well, the rest of the week should be interesting!
PS: Was I too generous with the one week?
