So, like, I fired my job

Yep.

I have become - to the best of my knowledge - the seventh person in the last eight years to resign from a continuing or continuing-track position entirely because of the behaviour of the immediate supervisor of our department. Given that we only have five or six staff that is a shocking record.

Senior management are well aware and have recently done a minor reorganisation which is IMHO a useless placebo gesture, somewhere between rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and transferring the pedophile to a bigger parish.

So, I bloody quit.

Dammit.

Apart from the #$%^ of a manager, there was a lot to like about this job. But it just wasn't worth the continual head-#$@% involved in remaining.

I have no mortgage, no dependants, plenty of savings, and good relations with two previous employers in this city; and I live in a country with (official) unemployment just over 5%. I'll live.

Now if I had my car back from the smegging mechanic I could shoot through for a few weeks of beach bummery. Alas, not yet.
