UPDATE: Walked out after being publicly disrespected in a meeting, submitting my immediate resignation

Original post: https://redd.it/t5y9s1 tldr, I was sick of my boss's temper and disrespect and I walked out with plans of resigning.

tldr, I was sick of my boss's temper and disrespect and I walked out with plans of resigning.

First this is the resignation email I sent to the 2 execs this morning:

[Names],

After careful consideration I am resigning from my position at [company] effective immediately. While I regret the circumstances, my decision is based on the unmet standards of respect and professionalism in the workplace and considered final.

My key card will be mailed to the office on today's date.

Regards

A couple hours later I got a call from the President who's the older of the two brothers. He's not the one that set me off yesterday but he's been equally insulating and I generally don't like him.

Surprising convo, he said he respects my decision and that although I did not give a notice he would still vouch for me as a reference.
He also assumed my reason for quitting was that I worked on an inventory issue where I got a little dirty. I told him my reasons were exactly what I stated in my email and I went into some brief examples which of course he denied and made excuses. At the end he said that as long as I don't badmouth the company I'd be in his good side and that his brother may have a different reaction.

I haven't heard from the brother which is surprising but I'm sure they're too busy scrambling now.

I'm feeling good overall and I'm proud of myself for taking a stand.

Thank you again to everyone for showing so much support
