how to quit a job in style
 
okay, my boss hates me and intentionally only puts me on when i tell him i can't just for laughs... i only request off for school activities... as in classes...


i was considering like going to like a district manager to complain to or something... but i don't know, it would be hard to get anything done....


i want to quit... i know all about the two week notice stuff, but i just don't want to go away, i want to go away in style ... what should i do??

lol, btw, i don't want to do anything bad, just more or less in your face to him

What kind of place do you work...I can think of lots of fun things to do at a McDonald's.

Carno 01-06-2005 12:44 PM

If you plan on putting the job on your resume, don't do anything other than put in your two weeks.

How much are you going to need a reference from this place of employment?

Calling the fire department about supposed violations is always a fun one I wanted to do, but that would almost lead to some nasty fines for the company.
Call the board of health that you saw roaches in the bathroom.

AquaFox 01-06-2005 12:49 PM

chain department store... like walmart, k-mart.... one of those places

i allready got another job that is seasonal with the school year, and i will not really need to replace my job at that place untill summer comes... i got plenty of good future job reccommendations coming from them

Be careful. Having hired several people in the past and checking their references, I have heard some not so subtle bad recommendations. Most companies are afraid of lawsuits and give out little information but there are exceptions.

I hope you come up with something, but don't burn any bridges. Some companies will give you an exit interview. If yours does, you can state your case against him then..

I know it sounds really, really lame, but the best thing you can do is go on to be happy and successful. Happier and more successful than your boss.

Don't forget in a couple of years to go in and rub it in. I love the fact that one of my ex-bosses is now one of the vendors at the place where I work. He's always calling asking if we need anything from his company. I sometimes get to remind him that he told me that I'd never amount to anything. The unspoken reminder is that now I'm in a position to completely remove their company from our list of vendors.

You will get yours. Just be patient.

Mephisto2 01-06-2005 02:24 PM

I agree with Vanblah.

Why bother? Why give them the satisfaction of saying to themselves "I always knew that guy was a wanker"?

Just walk out with your head high, safe in the knowledge that very soon you will finish college, have a better job than this store supervisor and a clean conscience.

They can prosecute you if you steal, but what can they do if you just hide stuff?

I'm not recommending this behavior... but I'm not condemning it either. :thumbsup:

Powderedmaggot 01-06-2005 04:20 PM

Upper decker in the washroom most frequented by your boss. Or hide a turd under the bottom drawer of his filing cabinet or somewhere really hard to locate while at the same time leave one where he will find it after a very brief search. He'll find one and think he has the problem solved but the stink will linger "in the carpet" forever no matter how hard he scrubs it.

Vincentt 01-06-2005 04:27 PM

Don't do anything that will cause other employees to do work...
Would be shitty to shit all over the bathroom and ultimaly only make the cleaning ladys cry.

RangerDick 01-06-2005 04:43 PM

Take a picture of you sticking your toothbrush up his dog's butt and don't show him until after you brush your teeth. That'll learn him.

Wait.... reverse that....his toothbrush and your dog's butt.

On a serious note, when you leave, do so on the best terms possible. Bite your tongue on your last day, and thank your boss for the opportunity to work for him. Any negative stuff could come back to haunt you. Karma man, karma. Plus, you'll look like the bigger man for doing so.

One time, a customer took a dump in the trash can in our restroom. All I have to say is What The Fuck.

It depends on how petty/classy you want to be. You could hide every single pen you get your hands on, jam staplers, etc. Or, you could come back five years later and figure out a good way to say "Ha ha, my paycheck is twice yours".

ObieX 01-08-2005 12:15 AM

did your boss steal your stapler?

then you know what you must do...

thingstodo 01-08-2005 08:14 AM

That burning bridges advice is good. If you don't put this on your resume, you'll need to fill in the gaps with something you were doing. That's the first thing a clerk would follow....the trail of employment and look for gaps.

If you have a problem, use the open door policy if there is one and go over your boss' head. Might be a good idea to walk in with your resignation letter in your back pocket. Also, just go in with facts and leave the emotion out. Facts win in court and emotions just hurt you.

And one last thing....retribution or revenge doesn't really make you feel that good in the long run.

anleja 01-08-2005 11:24 AM

Can you find the phone numbers of customers? Call a few (from work, so they can see the caller ID shows your company name) and tell them they were chosen in a New Year's promotion special to receive a $500 spending spree... all they have to do is show up.

Or fuck the boss' wife. Can't sue you for that!

Tracybrian 01-08-2005 11:56 AM

Find a way to get your boss fired

gh0ti 01-08-2005 12:21 PM

I always wanted to do it Half-baked style:

Scarface -"fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you im out!"

Oreon 01-09-2005 05:31 PM

Hahaha! Me too gh0ti!

I agree with the "Don't burn your bridges" though. I've always kept past jobs open just in case I need to go back. They suck, but it's money.

Well if he doesn't list them on his resume or as a reference, that won't be an issue.

ObieX 01-09-2005 06:55 PM

Do what you have to do and then dont list on your resume. If you're aasked about gaps in your employment tell them your boss was a dick. Honesty is the best policy.

Rodney 01-09-2005 10:44 PM

I had a boss who gave me a lot of trouble, though I worked hard for him. On the last day, when I was about to leave, he disappeared. His secretary told me he "didn't like saying goodbye."

I already had a job in hand and didn't need his recommendation. So I pressed my face and clenched right fist -- with upraised middle finger -- onto the glass surface of the copier and pressed the button. Left it on his desk with "Bye, Tony!" scrawled across it with big letters.

dirtyrascal7 01-10-2005 09:34 AM

you said you work at a large department store... well you could put little stickers on random items that say "this item is cheaper at [insert name of competitor's store]". i dont think that would get you in much trouble as long as they could be removed easily.

Thermopyle 01-10-2005 11:03 AM

have you seen fight club? :)

Hahaha!!! You are so awesome. :D

Cadwiz 01-10-2005 12:35 PM

I'm not sure if it would be illegal, but a 50% off sale on your last day would be cool.

MacGuyver 01-10-2005 12:49 PM

Get into a relationship with your boss's daughter first... then create an evil plan, and then excecute it. Oh, don't forget to coin an evil laugh too.

they turn up all the time, once there was a 19.99 item, whoever labeled it put down 1.99 and some lady came up and was super pissed that they wouldn't sell it to her for 1.99 :lol: it causes soo much fuss with the people in the front



are boogers on the bathroom wall a health issue that could get them in trouble? lol
