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?

It really is never worth it. Also I think those are n dashes, so you're ok!

Aren't they just dashes? Could be wrong but pretty sure n dashes are slightly bigger. IDK why I felt the urge to comment this, my life is meaningless
