> Perhaps I'm too cynical now, but to me this post reads as a troll trying to get a rise out of people. Might be. I don't know. What I do know is that once I had a job where my supervisor was highly abusive to the point she criticized me for having left the office during an afternoon due to a close relative dying. This was a research job, where the closest milestone was scheduled to be in 3 months. In that job I had a fixed-term employment contract structured in a way which it was automatically extended for 6 months when it expired. Thus I waited out my contract, looked for another job and presented my resignation. Well, that didn't sat well with my supervisor. She started complaining that we had work to do and I couldn't just leave because I owed her at least six to eight months work. Even though she was aware I was no longer an employee, mind you. She demanded I continued working for her in spite of the resignation while a) not being paid, and b) while working another full-time job. She even demanded (not asked, demanded) that I should ask my new employer for a 1 year delay so that I could continue doing her work. Well, I left anyway and still she continued trying to contact me periodically about stuff at the job up to a year or two after I left. I'm talking about stuff from high level technical issues to passwords to an old windows 7 desktop that was sitting around. So, I personally don't see Gust's story as outlandish.
