Unfortunately, I don't have any good quitting stories for you though I have quit jobs that sound like yours in the past.
Some of the best words of wisdom I received about negative situations like this: "If it feels good to say it, just don't." Be kind, honorable, and walk way as the bigger person...because that's the story you'll want to tell when you look back at this.
- trcollinson 12y agoWell said! Fantastic advice. I have been in the same spot a number of times, particularly early in my career. It is best to be honourable, kind, and a bigger person. Once there was a company that I really just wanted to tell off and walk out. But after giving my two weeks notice, despite being ridiculed and mocked, I kept my cool, finished my work and documentation, and left. Years later I was doing some hiring for my own business and a resume came across my desk, the lead ridiculer from this previous job. I gave him my standard interview, only lightly touching on the fact that at one point he had been my bosses boss. The look on his face when he first saw me was worth every fake smile I had ever given him. He completed the interview, passed, and rejected my offer. I have never felt bad about my interactions with him or that company... but I think he did.

As your story demonstrates, technology is a winding road along an island that's smaller than you think; you never know when you'll cross a bridge again. Better not to burn it.
