Definitely have worked with such bosses and hated it at that time. If you are in consulting though, it won’t be for long, that’s the saving grace.

Not my boss but I definitely wouldn’t mind giving a swirly to one specific person on my team

Put in my notice 2 weeks ago. Last days is this Friday. Partner I work for has been a total dick. Multiple other partners have reached out to say they’re sorry to see me go. Partner I work for has since been a bigger dick. Seriously tempted to tell him off and/or actually be honest in my exit interview with HR. I know that means “burning a bridge”, which is bad. Someone please talk me out of it. Genuinely.
