I’ve been working at my current job for a year now, and I’m finally in the process of interviewing for new positions. I’m really hopeful about getting an offer soon because the management here is unbearable. My boss is incredibly narcissistic, and it’s really affected my experience at work. The CEO isn’t any better, showing no concern for employee wellbeing—no raises, no adjustments for inflation, and absolutely no support for the team. I’ve had enough of this environment, even though I’ve made some great friends on my team. I’m trying to figure out the best way to quit once I get a new job lined up. I know I should probably give two weeks' notice, but I’m worried about how my boss will treat me during that time. I can just imagine the tension while I’m trying to wrap up my work. On the other hand, if I just quit outright, I risk losing any chance of a reference from them, but honestly, I wouldn’t trust my boss to give me a good one anyway. I’d rather use my coworkers as references instead. I’m looking for advice on how to navigate this situation. Should I wait until I have a signed offer before putting in my notice? Or should I just quit and not worry about the consequences? It’s a tough decision, and I want to make sure I handle it as professionally as I can.
