It's called not being an idiot. I've known people who transition to get a great new job, then pursue a pretty clean case (quietly) against their old company - often with pretty good results. This demonstrates you have power of choice in your destiny (the opposite of cowering and whimpering) and it's practically much easier to job search while employed. And I've seen old managers let go, not because of the case per se but because they were losing staff. This type of thing? There is going to be some sympathy for their manager having to manage someone like this (who does not sound very professional). The case is also easy after you leave. You don't need the money as you have a new job, you don't need to keep your (old) job - you've already left. So it's simple, so and so kept trying to get one room for both of us while travelling, here are their nasty text messages, work environment was not healthy, would prefer not to litigate the issue. Done. Now you are really set.
