Scorned employee divulges plan to resign after dealing with narcissistic boss for far too long: ‘He spoke to me as if I was a child’

In 2026, we say "goodbye" to quiet quitting and "hello" to loud resigning.

Why do we choose the respectable route when quitting our jobs rather than give our bosses a piece of our minds when all is said and done? Quite quitting is reminiscent of mourning a romantic relationship while you're still in it. You hope for change but no longer demand it; the worst part of the debacle is over, now you're waiting for the resolution. Spoiler alert: you are the resolution. If you don't leave, nothing will change. There are too many safety measures in place for higher-ups, unless you're working at one of the few companies left that still practice integrity…

No job is worth the emotional whiplash of dealing with an arrogant narcissist for a boss. They refuse to take criticism, don't submit you for merit raises, and look down upon their subordinates as if they weren't in a similar position only a handful of years prior. That's the thing with toxic bosses—they never admit their faults, and that's why quitting is the only option sometimes. Do not go gentle into that resignation. Make noise, and a lot of it. Who knows, you just might inspire a great resignation. Maybe then the company will learn that bad management directly affects output.

This isn't admitting defeat; it's simply preservation. The employee who is planning to resign in the story below explains that they've tried multiple avenues of resolving their grievances with their boss, but it's of no use. Scroll below to read the full story.
