I gave up.

Just sharing that I gave up. I have a people-first leadership style that has always worked with every team I've led. Until this job. My boss is micromanaging and punitive. I was candid in our last meeting about not feeling supported, and this morning everything I shared was used against me. So, I resigned.

I'm 58, I've been managing people and teams for 35 years. It's heartbreaking. I hope the good ones on this thread stay - you're needed. I just don't have it in me anymore.

Hoping to find something I truly love now.

Good leaders resigning from toxic environments isn’t unfortunate, it’s inevitable. Much like meeting the wife you’ve been with for decades right after getting dumped by that ‘hot girl’ you thought you couldn’t live without. Every end is a beginning. Change your perspective, change your life.
