Toxic boss chastises employee for not talking about their personal life, shows up to their new workplace unannounced: 'I think I'm still in shock'

Choosing how much to share about yourself to your employer can be a delicate dance. You want to feel like you're being open and honest, but you also want to keep up a barrier of professionalism while you're at work. You want to pepper in details about your personal life, but leave the more difficult stuff be. It can be a difficult line to strike, and one that takes some practice. It doesn't help if your coworkers, or worse yet, your boss, don't share your same respect for boundaries.

When the worker refused, it escalated. And after they finally summoned up the courage to quit and find another job, they got an unwelcome surprise. Read on for the story.
