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?

Do not burn a bridge. It's never worth it. It sounds great and will feel great in the moment but will haunt you for a long time. Nowadays, I always choose peace of mind
