People share stories of toxic workplaces:
The post prompted many to share their experiences with difficult bosses or managers. An individual posted, “I gave a month's notice to my boss in Florida and she told me I couldn't leave until they found my replacement. She was then out for two weeks. I had to go to my GM to tell him I'm leaving on the day I said, and he agreed.” Another added, “People don't quit jobs, they quit bosses. This man doesn't see he is the problem. I quit my last job with a week and a half notice, they told me I could just make that my last day- so I did. They aren't going to back you, and you don't have to back them.”

A third joined, “I was laid off from my first job and gave two weeks' notice at my third, but my boss was abusive both financially and emotionally at my second job, so I found my third and quit without notice. An example of the abuse I faced: I was on leave for severe uterine fibroids, causing anaemia. They forced me to go to training and then expected me to rearrange some furniture. I was too weak and asked to go home, and they threw a HUGE fit before I could leave.”

Eventually, a few weeks after I had left, they said they’d send me a box to ship it back in. Never came. I couldn’t keep it because it had proprietary info on it. Two months later, I brought it to a luncheon they threw for me at a restaurant and handed it to my former boss. Now, it became his problem.”
