I work for a complete narcissist..

I'm leaving my job in a few weeks.. Currently working my notice..moving onto a new role elsewhere.
My CEO is a complete narcissist.. Today she has pushed me to the absolute limit and I've broken.. She then tells me she doesn't need me crying and putting that on her as well as everything else.
I'm on a part time contract and I'm working full time hours. I'm a single parent but never ever let my personal circumstances get in the way of work. I think I'm a hard working and professional EA. I've got 15 years of experience in the industry.
I've resigned primarily because of her.. I actually feel bullied by her. Nobody seems to tell her she behaves inappropriately or speaks awfully to colleagues.. We have no proper HR department in our company..
I hate every day I have to work here. They've kept me to my 4 weeks notice and asked me to work an extra couple of days to help because its a ridiculously busy time. I agreed because I'm a good person but now feel like telling them to stuff it. I hate it. I hate my job and I hate her. I don't respect a CEO that is a bully.
No point to this thread just wanted to vent because I've been in tears all morning.

Great news! It sounds like she has no idea how horrible and unreasonable she's being. Good luck in the new job Smile

Ya freeeeeeeeeeee!

Well done for getting through it, I hope you celebrate massively and enjoy your few days off before your new job!

StrapOnSallyChasedMeDownTheAli · 11/05/2021 16:46

Yeeeeah well done. I'd be tempted to keep her unblocked for a bit just for a laugh.

It must be a huge relief to know you'll never have to deal with her again.

Yes well done! As tempting as it is to tell a horrendous boss to do one, it’s far better to remain polite and professional. Now you can chill out!

Mellonsprite · 11/05/2021 17:01

My last boss who was a horrendous micro manager, actually asked if I wanted to extend my notice period from 3-4 months, phrased as ‘this is when your notice officially ends, although you can work longer if you want?’
Very perplexing almost like he didn’t understand what having a new job actually was. He couldn’t understand why 3 people left one after another either.

Ladybigbeach · 11/05/2021 17:02

Well done OP!! You’re freeeeeee 🎉🎉🎉

Over 450 messages since the first post and that is your opinion??? How about you refresh the thread and see what has happened over the past few days Wink
LittleMissPeggySue · 11/05/2021 17:22

Well done OP! You're free 🙂🙂🙂

Champagne well deserved tonight, enjoy your days off and don't look back xxx

crosspelican · 11/05/2021 17:25

Congratulations!

DustCentral · 11/05/2021 17:33

Huge congratulations! Please come back and update on what gifts she’s sent you. Possibly a framed phot of her crying at her desk realising what a fuck up she’s made not treating you better so you’d stay lol Grin

Riddo · 11/05/2021 17:37

Well done OP 🥂🥳

StopTryingToSellMeYourBollocks · 11/05/2021 17:38

Well done OP. All this behind you and now you have some stories to share about the boss from hell and how lacking in self awareness she was.

Enjoy your next few days off and hope all goes well in the next job. It doesn't sound like it could be anywhere near as bad as the one you just left.

Well done @Pebbledashery you’ve played a blinder!

Orgasmagorical · 11/05/2021 18:00

Big sigh, Pebble, you can relax now Smile

cupoftea2021 · 11/05/2021 18:00

All that matters is your mental well being not how it looks or how many sick days
You can simply say it was highly stressful or something along those lines.
The word Stress is self explanatory.
Escape
It is a job not a lifestyle-
Grasp hold of something to help pull you through and think about how to offload the crap your leaving.
Can you get a written reference before you leave.
Give me a male boss any day.
