Nearly did at my last job. My immediate boss was a bully and the only person in the world I will refer to with the “C word”. When I applied for another role inside the company, but outside his team, he gave me a serious, soul destroying rant that basically ruined me, ending with “I could have helped you, but now, what chance do you think you have of getting that job now?”.
He was right… I went to HR after that “talk” and told them I couldn’t do the interview. To her credit, the HR woman saw I was in a state, but couldn’t really do anything about it. Unfortunately, my work ethic is too strong to take a sickie (never taken one, ever) and I kept turning up, but I did leave soon after. The shit got sacked a couple of months later. Good riddance.
