HR knows about this guy. OP said others quit because of him. He must be of value to the company if they are losing 3 employees because of him. He must be bullet proof for some reason you aren’t aware of.
I don’t know whether the notes OP got from the guy were turned over to HR, or not. Maybe a good parting shot would be to do so. Otherwise, I’d just say a better opportunity came up, and until recently, you enjoyed working there....the passive aggressive route.
OP never elaborated on exactly how he addressed the 'problem' employees, and the best guess is that he blew up or chastised those assigned to work for him in a very public and unprofessional manner. In fact OP never responded to any of the advice given on that thread.
So do keep in mind people like him only want to vent, and aren't really looking for any meaningful or helpful advice. I have no doubts now that the OP will in fact go to the exit interview and vent everything, warts and all.
It's not going to do anything of course. As one poster alluded to, as long as these managers/supervisors get results, no one cares how abrasive or mean spirited they are. I've personally witnessed this in my previous job, where a bully manager was actually taken to HR, but they made life hell for the supervisor who took him to HR (he eventually quit from the stress). Some people seem to have this fantasy that what they say or do is going to make a big difference at their place of work, and that by badmouthing their bosses to HR, that it'll show them. Nonsense.
Hmm...dont put it in the letter. Seems like you have a new manager, tell him directly why. IE word of mouth, and leave it at that. Word will get around.
Yes a lot of folks are advising saying nothing. But honestly, people like him need to have some push back, or they just keep making the world a worse place.
Agree with greywar, resignation letters should never give reasons for leaving, they should only give the information that you are leaving, and your intended last day. Any info on why you are leaving should only be oral to a supervisor and/or HR.
If you really want to quit and still stick it to him here is what you do:
1) Do as others have said, send in your generic notice, no details given.
2) On your last day, put an "anonymous" note in his mailbox as he did with you (or somewhere he'll eventually find it but no one would see you) with a very directly worded rant about what a horrible manager and human being he is. No need for specifics, no need for cursing...nothing that anyone could take action on. Type/print it on your home computer. Or maybe even mail it so it takes a week to get there.

It will at least somewhat give you the satisfaction you're seeking upon leaving while still staying in good graces with the company.
Even with an exit interview, nothing and I mean NOTHING will change as a result of what you say. They are truly pointless.
NO! Bullies know EXACTLY what they are doing and do it intentionally. Believe me, he thrives on the knowledge that he has the power to make her miserable. Better to get counseling on how to deal with it until you get the 19K, and then just leave immediately. He probably knows she is due the $, is jealous, and will LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that he had the power to make her give it up.
The company isn't going to deal with the person causing others to quit, obviously, either because he's getting results( which is all the company cares about) or he is being protected at a higher level. I would be brief, and professional. Other that a 'feel-good' moment for yourself, absolutely nothing of value will come from you laying it all out. They 'know' what the issue is, and they clearly have no interest in fixing it. This is where you as the employee becomes the problem and paint a target on your back, not the person who 'actually' is the problem.
