The other guy is leaving as well. He's been here just a bit longer than me. It puts the company back to one programmer  They need to change if they are going to retain people.

A quick question. Have you told anyone who's in a position to do something about it that the job is toxic? If there's been an issue, you might have been able to get things sorted out just by talking to someone who probably didn't even know there was a problem.

It's a very small company. I haven't used those exact words, but someone else has.
My manager actually says "this place is toxic" and "I think I'm goina quit" very often. The other programmer here doesn't expect to be here another 3 months. The other two are data processors, and throw temper tantrums pretty regularly.

I don't think that person exists here. There are only 2 people "above" me. One is the manager, and the other is the boss. It's a small company.

As long as someone else is aware it's toxic then you've done all that you can. Time to move on.
Whereabouts are you based?

A bit too far for you to commute to my company then.

Believe him and get out of there. 
He won't hold it against you and may even be a good reference in the future if you tell him why you are leaving. After you get another job that is.

After you have another job.

The assumption is it's always the boss. Sometimes it's just one or two cow orkers who tell tales, regurgitate rumors and out right lie, but they cast strife and suspicion amongst all.
Sometimes identifying who these people are and just staying away from them is all that is required for happiness.

Been there, done that, moved on, never looked back, happily ever after.
Don't feel bad for leaving, feel bad for the time lost in that place, that's what I realized as soon as I left.

Had the same problem.
My manager left... he was among the first employees in the company, tried to impose his honest point of view, betting on the seniority card and ran into a wall.. now he's happy at google.
My friend in systems left .. after a college kid with no prior linux knowledge, that they hired recently got root access on a production box, 2 weeks after starting... now he's happy at redhat.
After having my hopes crushed, I left as well for a better position.
And last month the last member of our team left the company, after making his life miserable for 4 months longer.
We all met a couple of months ago, and we talked about how things were and why we left, and we all concluded that it was the right decision.

Don't feel bad, business is business, even when you're close with your coworkers; personally, I wouldn't have come back unless I had no choice, given that unless the reason of the problem goes out, the environment won't change.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

There he went again!
But he'll do an Arnie... He'll be back.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
