Had lunch with a former boss mentor who has been through similar. Just said “do not make it easy for them”. Had a coffee with a resident CP lawyer after who advised much the same. Just have to bite my tongue and gut it out.

Spent the day phoning and polling every single one of my colleagues and apologized if I swore and was unprofessional.

Every single one laughed in my face. Two made me cry. A guy who just started a month or so back in a high level could not believe that and said I amd easily the most liked person in the company. Another said I am the perfect engineer. I started crying.

This is new territory for me. The CEO in New York even phoned me to walk me off the ledge.

Kill me. This sucks so hard but working for this guy is not sustainable. He totally bullied me back to returning from surgery way too soon but I agreed.

I wanna quit so bad and severance won’t amount to anything anyway.
I left two offices with toxic partners. I’m much happier as a bartender. Law was stressful at the best of times, but to be stuck with sociopaths pushed me over the edge. Now I’m happier than ever.
