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

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.

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. Doug |

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. Mr Mephisto |

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.

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. |

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.

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! |

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. |

That's what she said

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.

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.
