I get the urge to make a dramatic exit when you land a new job. Trust me, I’ve been tempted too. But think twice before ghosting or blowing up at your boss on the way out. You never know when you might need a reference, or even find yourself desperate for a job and having to apply here. I’ve seen people torch those bridges and regret it later when opportunities dried up. A clean exit keeps your options open. Just some food for thought.

You should have worked harder
Food for thought, were you mediocre manager that someone blew up on their way out?
Hey, I’m a fellow dramatic exit person who did this. Only do this if you have the connections to do so. I kept a few contacts and definitely burned bridges for sure. It was worth it. You’ll find the right people that will root for you.
Not so much going back to the old job.....but if the old boss ends up someplace else, and they know you...and now want you.....don't burn those bridges.
If managers don't want employees making dramatic exits, maybe they should be better at their job. I imagine these people do not want a reference from their mediocre managers and have no desire to return to Cigna. Have you been paying attention at all to the toxicity at Cigna? Why would anyone return to that environment?
