I quit after a team meeting where my boss completely undermined my competence. I wanted one dev to consider something which would made his work massively reusable for us, but my boss had other ideas and justified his decision by saying "it's his money and not mine".
I had three months notice period where I handed over all my stuff. Initially we agreed that I will work until my last day and get remaining vacation days paid out. But after about 4 weeks I received a letter from HR asking me to use up my remaining vacation days which meant that I had to clear mybdesk within a couple of days.
What makes the whole thing worse is that during my vacation I was legally not allowed to start another job, and one month after my last official workday the global pandemic started.
ouch what a situation. I just wanted to let you know that there are good jobs out there with reasonable bosses and friendly teams. Not perfect but good enough that working in those places is not soul crushing on a daily basis (just sometimes haha).
I hope you find something nice soon. Don't be afraid of trying. I know it takes effort and is draining to get a new job but it's worth it.
