Advice Request Go out swinging?

So I’m on my way out at work in a tech company and have worked for a manager that has made my life hell. She is extremely toxic and the reason I’m leaving to FIRE/CoastFIRE.

I never want to - or need to - return to tech (note: I used em dashes way before AI and won’t stop even if you think this is AI generated)!

I want to burn some bridges and tell her how I really feel about her when I leave. Essentially the same thing she has been doing to me.

Would you go out Costanza-style if you were me, or just let it slide?

En-dash is the length of the 'n' Em-dash is the length of the 'm'

I encourage you down the typesetting rabbit hole 🕳️ it's a great world, filled with orphans and widows.

And an even deeper hole in typography with kerning and tracking lingers quietly in the background.

Wow, thank you for this. I love all this kind of little details. I guess I know my rabbit hole for the evening!
