Easy, just got sick and tired of a woke manager, always trying to micro manage every single worker, never looked at the positives always the negatives

I left work at 63 and it felt great not dealing with her constant shit every day, as she never allowed anyone to have a say as it was her way ONLY

@nedkelly If you can afford it, why not?
But micro manager aside, did you not want to retire?

@nedkelly Went through the same thing and got out the first day I could. I was young too, but fatigued from the job due to the BS and overloaded work duties. I think that she was trying to run off people right before they could retire with full benefits, probably helped with her fat bonuses. At least one that i knew of was within a year of retiring and just quit before she could get full benefits. She worked another full-time job and every bit of that pay went to purchase health insurance. She would have had her health insurance paid in full had she waited it out a year.
