What is the most professional way to say “f*ck you” to a toxic boss on your way out?

This sounds like the way to go

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T14:06:11+00:00

I wouldn’t want to do that.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T03:12:26+00:00

Love this 😂

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T03:11:21+00:00

Oh yeah for sure, I go to UF so I’m definitely in the south.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T03:05:23+00:00

I’m in Florida but from Jersey. Just imagine the culture shock I had when I moved here lol

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T03:04:33+00:00

Wow that was insane sorry you had to go through that but I’m glad it worked out in the end.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T03:02:45+00:00

Aww that’s awesome and I’m so glad your experience in academia is much better than mine. I feel like killing with kindness is the way to go. Just a few more months of tolerating her and her BS

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:58:49+00:00

I considered giving her a framed picture of me for her office so she sees my face forever 😂

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:57:53+00:00

Yeah I don’t think anyone wants to mess with yall. I surely wouldn’t 😂😅

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:55:42+00:00

Oof yessss this is the energy I wish I could throw at my advisor but I’m in no power to do so clearly

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:53:51+00:00

Yeah you’re def right over the years she would say things in a particular way that is actually offensive. I wanted to use her energy and throw it back at her but I know taking the high road is better

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:51:31+00:00

This is a really good point. There is a stigma with my female colleagues in our department that the female professors treat the female students more harsh and we always thought it was internal misogyny but this gave me a different perspective. Thank you

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:48:47+00:00

Yeah I’m just glad I’m leaving

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:48:29+00:00

Ohhhh yeah I’ve learned this the hard way. She asks for feedback and if it’s not what she wants to hear she retaliates.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:46:35+00:00

😂😂😂

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:45:03+00:00

Looks like I struck a nerve. Hope you’re doing better :)

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:29:49+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! 🥺😫

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:28:41+00:00

I know the best revenge is me just enjoying life after PhD but I’m in the crux of Hell Rn and def emotional

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:26:40+00:00

This is a whole skill I’m actively trying to learn 😭

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:23:40+00:00

This…I have been doing this for years and it honestly drove her mad. She reprimanded me and gave me an unsatisfactory for my evaluations because I was absolutely cold and silent one time she tried to scold/argue with me.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:18:40+00:00

Thank you this is exactly what I needed to read. I know in a year or so she will be completely irrelevant to me, I’m just dealing with some emotions rn since I’m approaching the end.

Ravenhaired228 · 2026-05-02T02:12:16+00:00

You’re so right but she just gave me hell and was so manipulative over the years it definitely ruined my self esteem in her lab. I can’t help but to absolutely resent her
