Sounds like you are better off out of there, Perkles. At least you have a new job to look forward too.

I know you were apprehensive about handing in your notice, but it's done and you're moving on. You need to get out of that toxic environment.

Well done.

Definitely the right thing to do Perks.

You have a great job and future ahead. Don't let your old boss spoil that.

Tell him you're going home to allow him to cool down and you'll speak to him tomorrow.

Sounds like a knob. Everyone moves on from time to time. Especially after 20 years. A new job will inspire you again, not just about the money.

Non compete clauses are difficult to enforce I understand?

Non compete clauses are generally very difficult to enforce.

Maybe he should have looked after his staff better whilst working for him.

They are hard to enforce, but even so, he has been a bit of a donkey, banging on about how bad the other lot are etc... very unprofessional.
If he carries on in this fashion he might do you a favour if he is all humpy and let you go right away :)
