I (26F) recently quit my toxic boss at a job I was at for 2 months. The whole thing started with an email I sent asking my boss if she could please review my proposals (I worked in fundraising for a university) prior to our 1:1 meetings because when she does it 30mns before our meeting, her feedback is short, crude, and just downright mean. I am not a new employee just getting started in the workforce, I have worked for several companies and was previously a senior at my previous company. And I know how I like to be managed and I know what appropriate feedback looks like.
After this request, she proceeded to berate me for an hour at our next 1:1 and said that my email was inappropriate and insinuated that she would like to put me on a PIP to get to my 90 day review. The meeting was 2 hours long and by the end of the meeting she had calmed down. I then asked her if we could please have her manager and HR present at our next check in. She said that I was being too formal and the PIP might not be necessary because of this conversation.
The whole thing felt like a power trip and I realized she is a terrible communicator and nothing would get better from then. The following Monday, while my boss was supposed to be off, i sent my resignation her, HR, and the department Director giving one week notice. My boss immediately replied and asked me to finish all the work due (even the work that would be due after my last day) because I didn’t give them two weeks. I acquiesced in interest of not burning a bridge.
The next day she messaged me privately to let me know that it was disrespectful that I resigned during her day off. I reached out to HR to ask if this was appropriate and they sided with her stating that she had to work for part of the day. I said that day would be my last day.
Am I the asshole for quitting during her day off? And how do I address this at a job interview?
