Are you returning willingly or kicking and screaming?

We have a manager who is very inexperienced and was hired through cronyism. Our own years of experience and knowledge in our BU mean absolutely nothing to him and he delights in micromanaging the cr-p out of us despite knowing very little of our job... — read more

This train is on route to a cliff. If I tell that to the crew in charge they will throw me off with no coat or luggage. Time to jump off!
