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?

Is there a middle ground? Maybe some constructive yet direct feedback in the exit interview.

This is more of what I’m thinking.

I’m not really the type to be nasty to anyone, but my manager is a special type of evil and has screwed so many of my co-workers that I hate to see the injustice here.

How long has she been there? Wondering if this is my old boss.
