I'll tell you what the worst damage is - not serving as a reference. Most companies are suspicious if you can't list a former boss as a reference. I left one company on terrible terms with my ex-boss, and it's been a struggle career-wise to explain.

(because I can't say he had a substance abuse problem that finally made him start cheating the company and made me quit)

I was not given a week of vacation time when I left my last job. I told myself it was because my former boss was bitter that I left. Now, with the COBRA problems, I consider how much damage a bitter former boss could be....it's frightening....I guess I will think twice about acting impulsively!
