If I won the lotto I'd still give 2 weeks notice and be proper, in fear of law suits .lol
Back in the 90's I was offered a better job than the one I had, I went to my boss and told him, he said he couldn't offer me what the other company had offered. When I left I said "no hard feelings?", he replied "If I'd heard you didn't take the job I'd have thought less of you". Ten years later the company I went to went bankrupt, two weeks after they closed my old boss called my up and offered me a job at my current salary.
Let's say you don't need your job anymore and want to quit. You won't ever need your current job ever or need a reference or have any contact with the job. How would you go about doing it?
I would show up hammered and let the alcohol do the work.
Then you are the very ** of **** I would fire as soon as I got a whiff of your discontent and commitment in my company....loser.. and would INVEST cash to let others know..outta province... and even outta country given the op..
(was this helpful?) (rhetorical, btw)
Wondering why the hate? See your quote in bold Einstein..
LOL cool story bro. Best reply yet!
i walked out on a job at walmart 14 years ago and told the superviser to go fcuk himself on my way out the door and wouldn't you know the same guy got hired to be a superviser at my current work 12 years after that. Yes he remembered me, yes he told all my other bosses what I did and tried to get revenge after all these years. Good thing my decent boss realized he was an idoit and fired him after a few months. Its a small world and people talk.
Ok, good...I'll give ya one point for having a sense of humour and knowing when you have stepped over the line..
Peace tho, all the same..
I'm done in 1 year, 363 days.
My contract expires and my pension begins.
I need to get another job soon so I won't be burning my bridges or going out like the Narrator in Fight Club.... much as I'd love to.
I want to get another Government job and do more nothing for ten more years.
What a cool guy - it makes me a little less cynical of the world in general. I've heard way too many stories of bosses who couldn't keep it professional.Back in the 90's I was offered a better job than the one I had, I went to my boss and told him, he said he couldn't offer me what the other company had offered.

At one of my jobs, we were talking about using professors as references and I was surprised to hear that a lot of the profs at U of T will only agree to be references with no disclosure (meaning they won't even give you a heads up of whether they're gonna big you up or give a bad review of you). So basically, you're taking a gamble by using them as a reference. Why not just say "I wasn't very fond of you when you were one of my students; please find someone else"? It's not like you're asking them to lie about you :S
It's the interwebz and nothing should be taken seriously. This was suppose to be one of those imaginary situation, not what you would do in reality. Few people understood it and replied accordingly.
One of the reason I don't like UofT, its a very poisonous/hostile environment. The students learn from that and sometimes take that outlook later in life.
Sad sad sad
Having spent a lot of time at all 3 Toronto Unis, I'm glad I decided against transferring into U of T. If you're not with St. Mikes, you're in for a pretty dreadful 4 years (relative to the other 2 universities). People in U of T don't help each other out - it's pretty hard to even share notes there.One of the reason I don't like UofT, its a very poisonous/hostile environment.

But then again, I hear that the real world's a pretty hostile environment . So maybe it's preparing them a little better. haha...maybe all the crappy bosses in this thread came from U of T

In Style...How would you quit your job?

Not from my experience, but then again, I try not to work in such environments or want such coworkers.
