UPDATE: Well, i quit the day after my original post --- a week ago.

One too many times he said "if you don't like it, there's the door".
One too many times I had to hear him humiliate another (younger) co-worker.

So I did. After 11.5 yrs working there. Just packed my stuff, finished something I was working on (as a courtesy to my co-workers), hugged everyone goodbye, shook his hand, handed him my key, & left.

No tears. It felt so good.

Only tears came a few days later, when DH & I had to make the EXTREMELY HARD decision to have to cancel on the custom condo we had a deposit it on. Since construction hadn't started yet, we didn't loose any money. But, I've devastated over not moving into our dream place. So, we'll just stay in our current condo where we have little left to pay on mortgage, and DH's salary can handle the bills.

Very small office of 6. Only 3 of us there all the time. I was the first one there in am, and last to leave at night. I was also the go to person for questions since others fairly new. His loss.

Oh.....and the co-worker he humiliates...... had an interview Monday. Got job. Waiting for offer this Monday. Can't WAIT for her to tell him she's leaving too!!!!

Congrats on telling them off

and good luck with a new job

Thanks. I've gotten nothing but support from everyone - which for some reason is a shock to me. I thought for sure someone of people we know would say "you're crazy for quitting without having another job first". Maybe because that's how I always thought.

No pressure to find a job (of certain pay) now that we are out of condo deposit.

Does not sound like the kind of leader who inspires his employees. By quiting so abruptly I hope it doesn't hamper your job prospects for the future.

Congrats again on telling him off!

I had to do the same in a similar situation.(though I didn't walk out,but gave them 2 weeks)..small office..I was first one in, last out...dedicated with a true work ethic, etc...he was a total jerk and impossible to deal with..it didn't matter how hard you worked if he didn't like you on a personal level or he just felt like going off on someone......leaving was the BEST thing I ever did!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that you had to put off your plans....pixie dust to you that it won't be for long!!!!

Employees can be real jerks sometimes also. It works both ways.

LOL Taylor. True. But not in this case. I was the 11th person in 6 yrs to leave the small office of 6. Tell you anything?

OH, and hopefully #12 will get to tell him she's leaving too on Monday.

Thanks for your concern. I don't think I'll have any problems when I'm ready to look again. I've gotten just about every job I've ever applied for that I really wanted. I've even had people offer me jobs when I wasn't looking to leave.

I'm one of those sick "dedicated to a fault" kind of people. Smart, quick learner, responsible, always been a supervisor of some sort.......but sometimes, you just have to stand up for yourself! Fear (of change I suppose) kept me there way too long.

I've got lots of other people for great references --- including my past supervisor of that company. He demoted her when he came on board 6 yrs ago. She's the only 1 left now from before him. She would leave too if she didn't have health problems. She needs the benefits I suppose.

Good luck on finding another job, hope you get one you want soon! I have walked out of jobs like that in the past! I have been at my job now 22 years now so doing that again is out of the question for me , plus I am a single parent so no way can I not be working..though at times I would love to just pick up and leave!
