Comment on I wanted to work at Apple really bad, and now not so much.

Comments

Bad bosses are everywhere. Two weeks notice would have been a better way to go. People quit companies because of bad bosses. If he didn't even talk to HR or escalate anything, then shame on him. His impact will be minimal and everyone will move on instead of solving the larger issue.

why bother? It was clear that the boss was considered excellent by the company.

I would have not bothered to send the email that is my only feedback.

"Silence encourages other bad behavior and contributes to a toxic atmosphere."

Sound familiar?

It should. That's a quote from one of your previous comments.

Sending a parting shot to someone who doesn't care is not breaking the silence. The boss just deletes the email and points to it as proof that Jordan was a bad fit, such an email is a waste of energy and a weapon to be used against the sender

Also I should add.... Jordan is not being silent... He spoke out on medium where the power relationship is more balanced and in a venue where his voice will be heard.

He is warning others to make a different choice and to stay away.
