Maybe I’ll never be able to figure out what I’m passionate about. But when I choose something, it has to be something that when I wake up it’s the first thing I think about, and it’s also the last thing I think about before I go to sleep.

The most decisive and certainly most delicious option for an aggrieved worker in a narcissist’s office is simply quitting.

Not only does this spell immediate freedom for the exiting employee, it can also contribute to the long-term decline of the boss.
