What are you hoping to achieve by doing so?

I so badly want to do this myself.

Is it a bad idea? Yes
Will I do it? Probably
What about taking the high road? Well.... nah

If the manager has treated you badly, you must atleast hint it to him or her. I am strong proponent of upward feedback.

Absolutely!

Maybe the manager will also let you know how much you sucked if you initiate such a convo. Sometimes feelings are mutual, so be prepared for that too.

Well OP feedback is intended to “brutally tell off” the manager, and so I doubt it will be constructive. The challenge with wanting to provide brutal feedback to satisfy one’s own ego is that sometimes we forget that it takes 2 to tango and that both parties could have been better at finding ways of working together. OP might want to reflect how he/she could have done a better job communicating their needs as well. Just
My perspective I see way too much finger pointing when things don’t go as planned and not enough self reflection.

Don't do it - I did it years ago and have regretted it. My perspective is that if you go low and tell them off it will actually help the bad manager by reinforcing their bad behavior (manager will feel self satisfaction or justification of "managing you out"). Go out on a high note and it give you self satisfaction of knowing u are the better person.
