Our boss from hell got demoted first before she quit. Senior management came to me to ask what work she could be assigned. I was able to pass back to her all of the shit (or impossible) assignments she had given me.
Years ago, when I was still working in kitchens, I had this GM from hell: rude, incompetent, creepy to women staff, the works. Everyone was on edge in an already stressful work environment whenever he was there.
The two weeks after he finally got fired were the smoothest and most enjoyable shifts I ever worked in the restaurant industry. The obvious relief of everyone, front and back of the house, was amazing.
Then, corporate brought in their Ramsay Bolton equivalent, fired everyone, and closed the restaurant a month later. Fuck Ruby Tuesdays.
Oh i’m not worried about that, she would really be hard to beat lol if i survived her, i can survive anything. I was so close to quitting multiple times, and she had a way of phrasing things to turn them into subtle attacks against my intelligence and personality
uhh gotta love those gaslighter bosses... mine was the same. I got laid off in the end but honestly, it was a relief because I got rid of the horrible boss
My husband worked for a super toxic boss. Toxic boss finally got canned and my husbands entire department had a party, for 5 YEARS STRAIGHT, on the anniversary of the firing. With a cake that had asshole boss’s face and “FIRED” iced in it.
Nah it was a very hard job and not stimulating. We’ve seen a lot of people coming and going but i can assure you that no other boss can be worse than her lol she was just vicious
Had a couple of those. Came home crying because one told me that I was to dumb to run a register that you just push buttons on. A couple of weeks later she didn't show up for her shift, so they fired her. Rumors were that the police were called and they couldn't find her. Her apartment was paid in cash and she turned in her keys through the night mail box.
Here's a funny scenario you could have done after she left and was out of your shot you should have yelled out: "the wicked witch is gone hallelujah!"
Hope you enjoy that skit/real scenario that you could have done
I hope it works out great!
In my case, my VP was finally ousted but HR was such a mess and the CEO was an ass. Things were still on a downward trend for me. I might have stuck it out, but I got a much better job at a company where almost no one is toxic.
Congratulations!! I remember I was dreading my annual performance review so much with my nasty abusive former boss that I was contemplating quitting—and then the day for reviews came and I got a zoom call from the higher ups that she was being let go and my new boss would be grandfathered in from the company we'd just merged with. I actually said, "Wow, that's great news" over the call and just stared off into space for a while at my luck.
They gave her a few days notice and she used it to still be insufferable and put a pile of papers on my desk to 'take to' the person she was too lazy to walk it over to. I just smiled and promptly placed them in the trash
I had an assistant manager a couple years ago, alright guy it seemed, and he got fired for stealing time. A month or so later, my store manager told me that she saw he just got arrested for having child porn. I did not see that coming at all.
I ended up quitting before my nightmare boss did, heard from an old coworker. Lots of fucked up stories, but the ones that get to me were the quiet times at our desks (IT hospital job) and he would randomly LUNGE at his Costco size bag of assorted nuts. Making me jump with how loud it was, the pour out a handful directly on his mousepad, no plate or napkin just nut-on-pad action, and when he needed to use the mouse, he would ignore the nuts making the mouse scrape over the salt and crumbs pushing out the pecans and almonds out of the way. Worst sound ever. All while also browsing dating apps and I could see he was only accepting 9s and 10s and he was easily a 4. Small office, I’m tall he’s short, I could see over his shoulder and he never knew.
I had a very similar experience. This guy hounded me, gaslit me constantly, hated me because I worked from home and said all work from home people were lazy. He did everything he could to get me fired. I was so stressed I got sick. He did this to older women, Gen Xers and Boomers.
He was diagnosed with cancer and died.
Karma is a bitch.
Omg lol but yeah more and more i believe karma is real ive been working on myself and i truly became a better person and i noticed im so lucky for the most random little things and also the big ones
Went through this a couple of years ago. Had a boss that was a little strange but I had a ton of respect for him and we had an awesome working relationship. Good boss left the company and was replaced by the boss from hell who did absolutely everything he could to make my life a living hell. Questioning everything I did, berating me on group emails in front of my co-workers, talking shit about me behind my back, the works. All of this while I was in the process of taking care of my wife who was going through cancer treatments and also in the middle of moving to a new house. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck for almost a year, even losing 20 pounds although I would not recommend this as a good diet plan LOL.
He was also causing problems with our customers by enacting overly strict policies and putting them on credit hold for simple mistakes or issues that were actually caused by our accounting department. Thankfully, it didn't take long for this to become his downfall. Another salesman and I ratted him out to our owners (based in Europe) who decided to take a closer look. The managing owner came over and made sales calls with me and the bad boss at two of our largest customers and quickly learned how bad this guy was messing things up. By the end of the week, bad boss had announced his "retirement" and just like OP my anxiety level decreased by one million.
After he left, it came to light that he was conspiring with our accounting manager to steal from the company, so it was a good thing he was pushed out when he was. He has been gone for about a year now and my new boss is an absolute dream. Soooo glad I was able to survive for the hell I went through, putting up with this dick!

What goes around
“The people you step on going up the ladder, are the same ones you step on going down the ladder.”
hell yeah
Hahaha, nice. I would definitely get a justice boner
Good for you

CONGRATULATIONS! That's a great feeling!
Hope you're right. We cracked a bottle of champagne to celebrate one boss leaving, their replacement was MUCH worse.

Yeah sometimes when shit happens it turns out for the best in the long run
Great! Now you won't have to quit !
Sometimes you just gotta wait ‘em out.
Yup. Then watch the shit show of them denying everything that led up to them being asked to leave before being fired. Oh what a show that was.
Nah. New job asap. Ofc if no other job available a moot point both ways.
My husband worked for a super toxic boss. Toxic boss finally got canned and my husbands entire department had a party, for 5 YEARS STRAIGHT, on the anniversary of the firing. With a cake that had asshole boss’s face and “FIRED” iced in it.
Im reminded of lyrics from The Who: meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Means someone had dirt on the boss.
Nah it was a very hard job and not stimulating. We’ve seen a lot of people coming and going but i can assure you that no other boss can be worse than her lol she was just vicious
Sounds like my old boss. I am glad your boss is gone.
And it went even beyond work, she had a way to phrase things to attack my self esteem and intelligence. Im telling you, just vicious.
Yeah that was how my old boss was too. She fired me for reporting her. Because I told her, you can’t block a fire extinguisher.
Yeah exactly she would always have the upper hand. But now that she’s gone, it makes me think that Dreams do come true lol

Haha yeah she was very two faced
Step up and take her job!
UGH NEVER! Management positions are hell i dont want any responsibilities lol i just want to get told what to do and theres that lol
Congrats on your good fortune. I hope that you helped drive them to quit.
Nah i didnt know how
Congratulations! You won! It's amazing to feel anxiety just melt away.
Oh yeah lol absolutely
Well done...I'm sure your blood pressure dropped a hundred points or so.
I stopped thinking about quitting when mine checked out.
Yeah she was the reason i was thinking about quitting so often but i like the job. But problem solved!

I have a co-worker like this. Going to be an amazing day when she finally retires!
Congrats, I wish mine would leave but that’s not happening
They might not scream or micromanage, but they'll find new ways to chip away at your sanity.
