‘The final straw’: Employee resigns after her micromanaging, narcissistic boss denies her PTO request and provides no bereavement when her loved one passes

What does it take for you to consider quitting your job? When do the daydreams of slamming your resignation on your narcissistic boss's desk begin? Is it when they start making sure you're online 24/7? How about when they text you after hours in hopes you can work off the clock for free? In any case, these examples are definitely grounds to get the heck out of your company.

It's safe to say that this employee is not the problem, especially given the fact that the boss told her that the role couldn't remain filled for long. I wonder why…
