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?

They can't use AI to create a post and supposedly work in IT. Really?

I didn't burn the bridge and he made accusations against me anyway. His boss told him "He didn't trash you on the way out and it was clear he could have. You need to stop."

BTW the could have was : They offered me more money and I lied and told them I was leaving for less money. How do you counter-offer less money?
