I walked out on my toxic manager yesterday. I couldn't take it anymore. He piled on work with crazy unrealistic expectations and deadlines, all while being verbally abusive while working me to death. How do I explain this to future employers? I don't want them to think I might walk out on them without warning and I know I'm not supposed to complain about a previous employer.

Easy, don't tell them. If asked why you left your old company, just say it wasn't a cultural fit.

This is the way. If they push on culture you can say something vague like the management style wasn’t conducive to the long term growth goals you have for your career, and pivot to positive things you’d like to see in a company culture.
