A couple of years ago I worked roughly 65 hours a week for like two months because we were understaffed. I told my boss he had to find someone new as soon as possible. He said he wasn’t even looking. „Everything is fine! You just have to change your methods and work smarter!“

I immediately quit, drove to my doc, told him the story and sat at home for the rest of the period of notice.

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Similar story here, except instead of no help, I got a green nepo hire with a doctored resume that I was expected to babysit. I gave it a couple of months to bake, just to make sure I wasn't overreacting. Nope, he was useless. I walked.
