Project Manager quits without notice and sends scathing resignation after boss sends unprofessional texts: 'I need more from your position to justify the pay'

Some business leaders wield workers' feelings of insecurity like a weapon, using snide, cutting disparaging comments to keep their subordinates on the back foot and underfoot where they safely won't try to rock the boat, following orders without question—most importantly, not daring to ask for more money or promotions that align their compensation with the work they're actually doing. While being capable of getting along with anyone is an important skill to have, it remains a fact that you're n…
