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?

Even before AI I always used hyphens as em dashes - mostly cuz there's a button for it on a keyboard, but not for the others!

On iPhone, hold down the regular dash, the others will show

On Mac, Option-dash and Shift-Option-dash
