It's always a hidden gem in the day to find people like that! However, I have a question for you and your esteemed ?listeners/viewers? - somewhat along the lines of 'it took all my strength not to ...'. I am leaving my job. I have worked for two years for two apparently psychotic women who are partners in a business but have diametrically opposite views on just about everything. To please one is to piss off the other. There is no way that I can do anything without being in somebody's bad books. They also have both been extremely unpleasant to me on a recurring basis. Now that I am leaving, I am finding every new bitch from them to be an almost irresistible temptation to tell them exactly what I think of them and exactly where I think they should go. Do I? Or is it beneath my dignity (what dignity, I hear you cry!)

Advice, please!

I was in a similar position just under 2 years ago (actually, I was in the job 2 years ago, but left after a few months). I considered the same thing, for much the same reason, but ultimately decided "Nah. I know the reason, the boss knows the reason, and the colleagues whose opinions I actually care about know the reason (and largely agreed). If I tell them what I think of them and what they can do with themselves I am..." [cliche alert!!!] "...just as bad as..."

Nope, sorry, can't do it. The cliche was gonna hurt me :-)

What it came down to was that, sure, I could vent a little and let off some steam, but that would only get twisted in my absence and ultimately I would have looked bad/less that I am. The fact that you're even asking us (a semi-random group of strangers) tells us that you're above it, so I think you should stay there. Much greater long-term payoff in terms of self-respect, etc etc blah blah. Just my two paras worth :-)
