tl;dr- engineering manager tells me to work somewhere else, so I left the next day.

About a year ago I Was working for a manufacturing company that had mismanaged itself into a zero operating cash scenario long before i got hired on. After all the managers who had hired me in got fired with no notice, i got nervous and started looking around for other employment. At one point, i was trying to update a customer with status regarding some in-process issue that landed squarely in the newly appointed (but formerly as well) Engineering manager’s responsibility, and he told me I should never have brought it up and that i should just keep my mouth shut. I told him it was too late for that, and that they wanted a update- but he was too busy watching tv on his ipad, which as far as i can tell is all he ever really did… so i told him that i would just reach out to his contacts for the update myself. He said “ yeah, do that. And if you don’t like how long it takes me to respond to the customer you should just go somewhere else “.

Little did he know i had an interview the next day. I have never quit a job with no notice in my life… until that day. Get fucked, Timmy.
