    Wait! Me too!

    • CFO didn’t like how IT wasn’t her whipperbilly anymore and decided to replace their management because fuck everyone else, priorities, and shitty budgets affecting her stuff first. Installs yes man as replacement CIO with no other experience or IT training.

    • the expected ensues, including narcissist fuckwad micromanager

    • I pack up my stuff and come in early. Photograph it in a pile before locking it away.

    • ask buddy to walk me to HR to add something to my file as I give him the key

    • “effective immediately” the thing said

    • “I’m not signing anything more,” I said.

    • get the gbye handshake from a trusted peer, walk to the bus stop, catch the bus arriving presently

    • ignore the calls even when they call my wife looong after they already killed my login.

    • start my new job the next week for 3% pay cut (parity after first year), 100% WFH written in union contract, at a shop where I know the staff and they’re used to suffering me, which since I’ve left has shed its shitty management and left largely the good ones behind
