Comment on Ask HN: Why did you quit your last job?

Comments

My boss has been gradually overdosing his LSD and MDMA, becoming more and more frantic and chaotic. Once he called me on Saturday night, apparently under influence, and demanded a new feature to be done by tomorrow morning. I said no, adviced him to get some sleep and hang up on him. He sent me a message saying that "he knows people who can make my life very hard". I took a screenshot and emailed the message to the whole company (200+), along with my resignation letter. That day I decided I should stop working for other people. The company bankrupted shortly after, auditors discovered massive tax fraud and a bunch of unpaid credits from European banks my boss was hiding from.

Did you think about going to the police as well regarding his threatening message?

He is a son of a well-connected former KGB colonel, so no good would come out of this.
