The Buddhist concept of mudhita (akin to vicarious joy) may fit.

Your boss sounds delightful! is this a well-known company? does the whole company operate this way, or is just your boss that's like this?

This is an awesome story, OP! Congrats on the new job!
Wow - 8 weeks vacation - care to share the company? Or industry?

Enjoy your new position.

Way to go, OP! A very similar thing just happened to my DH and he is happily in his new role now. Just getting out from under a terrible boss has improved so much in all of our lives! Happy 2018!

OP here. It was civil, but I basically said I decided to go in a different direction over the holidays, and would work the next two weeks to transition my work. She was actually kind of stunned and stammer..."well, I rode you a bit hard."

I didn't bite, I just smiled, wished her and the team well and walked out. I emailed a resignation letter immediately after and informed her I'll be working remotely for the rest of the day.

I'm saving the champs for tonight,


Happy new year, OP!

Is there a worse expression to use than this? I think not.

Enjoy your day OP! It will be wonderful!

(Maybe pack up your desk before you go in though)
