Are you me? At my only "real" job I scheduled a meeting with the MD and we had a very long and constructive chat about the reasons I was leaving (grievance with my immediate boss which had been raised repeatedly but never dealt with), plans to hand over the projects I was working on, and my plans for the future. He wished me all the best and said he'd always be there if it didn't work out. At the end of the meeting I handed over my written notice, which was just a few lines confirming that I was leaving and the date of my last day. The MD is still a good personal friend (he even hosted our wedding reception in his garden) and we've worked together on multiple projects since. The bad boss was let go shortly after I went, when it was looking like another senior developer was on the verge of quitting. I guess the moral of the story is to never burn your bridges, no matter how bad the situation seems at the time. Plus, as a business owner myself now I'd much prefer the honest feedback so I could actually make improvements that might make other employees' lives more tolerable.
