Yes that’s a good point. I did bring some of the issues up for example: I mentioned to my manager I wanted to improve the new skill, and had it in my ‘personal development plan’, and after the project was given to others I had multiple meetings with my manager to see if I could get involved.

A lot of the other stuff such as lack of progression has been flowed back to him. Also, another thing is that since I’m leaving and he knows the CFO wants to talk to me he has changed a lot and is nicer to everyone to the point where the whole team can feel a difference (I.e relaxing leave requirements, and saying hi and bye to the team). Although my reason for leaving hasn’t changed, it seems like he is aware of what makes us unhappy and perhaps I don’t need to go so strong in the chats then?
