Quitting a job...Anybody ever depart in a magnificent way

[hdaddy 17]

I may be in the position in the near future to go out with a bang. I'm considering not burning bridges but then again, these people deserve a little shafting. Anybody ever leave a job on destructive terms?

[Bert 1,087]

No. Tax world in Houston is just too damn small.

 

But I once knew this guy that turned in his 2 week notice but wouldnt tell the company where he was going to work. He found out they were going to let him go before the two weeks were up so he cleared out all his stuff the night before and showed up to work in a Hawaiian shirt. Hilarity ensued.

I'm typically a pretty responsible, "by the rules", two weeks notice type of guy So while I was not destructive, this was a pretty big deal for me and became a pretty funny story with my friends.

In college, I worked part time at a grocery store - the owner was a miserable, old fock... he was breaking my balls one day about pretty much everything and a bunch of my ffriends came in the store to buy stuff for a cookout.

 

I had had it with the owner (named Louie).. I walked up front to the busy cash registers, took off my smock in front of him and threw it in his face saying, "hey Louie, you're an ass whole, I quit". The look on his face was fockin' great - he was stunned, embarrassed, angry... and he couldn't do sh!t about it. Everyone who worked there knew he was a pr!ck.

 

Got to the parking lot just in time to catch my buddies leaving and get a ride to the cookout.

 

And I guess I look back on this and I'm really glad I did it. I'm all for sticking it out and working hard and respecting authority, but there's a line that's crossed sometimes and you have to know where it is and when to stand up for yourself. A lot of people who worked there just took it... day in and day out... fockin' sad.

 

And I realize this was a crappy, part time job - not my career - so it was a lot easier to do in my case.

I did not burn my bridge. I burned the entire place down. Wrote an email and addressed it company wide where I blasted my BI of a boss for being useless. How she took a highly functioning team and ran off all of them. How she ignores temp workers and how I would rather be managed by a flesh eating zombie than her. The people that saw that were people she had to see everyday.

Wow! I sure wish I could do that!

 

I think you shouldn't burn bridges, try to resign with grace and dignity.

The tax world in Houston seems to be really busy too. Eye roll

You that hurt so much coming from a corrupt, under performing, ignorant NY cop.

Corrupt? Under performing? No and no. Fantastic employee. Above average in all phases.

[hdaddy 17]

It's tough not to want to burn the place down. The president of the company is a real and expects a used car sales like atmosphere for his insurance company. Sales goals are set unreasonably high and never based on the market conditions. Hell, we just beat the goal for the first time in 25 months last month! Guy is a db and likes to tell you what he wants but not how to get there. "I want $100,000 in new business! Figure out how to get there!" Anyway I found out that they were looking for a replacement for my position in Aug. but changed their mind after they figured out I have to much knowledge and that anyone brought in would be in bad shape. They have no idea that I know so I am considering dropping something special on them. The only thing holding me back is that he knows many a person in the industry but they all think he is a db as well.

I've been gone for a while. HTH. Besides, and that's because liberals like you let anyone have that job now. There used to be standards. Now we have people that are cops that would have been behind a desk selling insurance or doing taxes years ago, but libs got it in their heads anyone can do it.

No but I have an issue with the 2 weeks notice thing. To a point.

When they fire you they don't give you 2 weeks notice.

 

One time I found a better job and gave 2 weeks notice HOWEVER I had to start my new job on the second Friday of the 2 weeks (was the first of the month and if I didn't start that day I would of had to wait a month for health insurance and with 2 small kids couldn't do that)

 

Anyway they bad mouthed me through the industry over one damn day. They were a$$holes anyway. Glad I left.

 

Fryolaters everywhere talked about me.

Mayyybee they would appreciate someone with that kind of balls

[MDC 5,877]

No, but I worked with a guy who got a new job and never bothered to give notice or even tell the company, he just stopped showing up. For a few days people were worried he was in the hospital or something until word got around.

This is an old video but I think it's a good one (feel free to start at 1 min):

In college, I worked at a restaurant. I took 3 different guys closing shifts one Thursday. Cleared the schedule change with 2 asst mgrs. and the gen mgr. separately. I knew the jerk GM would be working. I came in at 4:30, made a guacamole bacon cheeseburger and told him he is on his own. <Metaphoric drops microphone>

 

( The guys I took the shifts from did not get in any trouble.)

[Djgb13 2,338]

Unfortunately I haven't. I've wanted to focking quit one of my duty sections in the hospital when I was in the military cause the leadership sucked so much. When I was finally given a leadership position we never had any problems and everyone was actually happy with their job

Worked for A&P Grocery store in middle school. First week on the job they made me a cashier. I was trained to stock shelves. I had no idea what I was doing. And this was before scanners so eveey item was manually imputed. Disaster. I had no idea how to weigh fruit and vegetables and get the correct price. And the manager knew this. It was her scam to fawk new employees One night, I got two customers who paid with hundred dollar bills. Protocol was to put your intials on the bills and receive a voucher that would clear your bank that night. I wasn't trained to count my till so the manager did it for me.

 

I show up to work the next day and was advised by the manager that my bank had $200 missing. I was semi-accused of stealing. So I called my dad and told him what was going on. He told me to call the police. He knew I wasn't a thief and I needed to protect myself. When the cops showed up, the manager was sh!tting her pants. Miraculously, the money was found immediately and I was cleared.

 

Fast forward a week. An internal investigation from a regional manager had shaky evidence that showed the manager that tried to frame or finger me had done this before to other cashiers. And gotten away with it. Bad for her.

 

So while all this is going on, a hurricane is brewing in the Gulf. Dumb kvnt manager was reading National Enqiuer mags plotting her next theft while all of us cashiers were plotting our revenge.

 

Two nights before the storm was to hit, she put the two shittiestcashiers on to work the night shift. Me and a girl I'm convinced had Down Syndrome. We had lines that stretched all the way to the back of the store. And two of the managers people handling the 20 items ir less lanes.

 

After two hours of basically giving away the store, not our fault as we were not all trained, all of the cashiers got together and punched out and quit. Fatty McCunt was left with it in her hands. And no one to blame but herself.

 

 

They had to close the store that night. Lost thousands in revenue. Fired and indicted her on theft charges after. That store closed down within two years as they couldn't recover from the bad rep.

 

Did I burn it down? No. But I lit the match. Never try and frame Bunny Rabbit.

I have and in an awesome way, so much so that I had people who I work with now, who worked where I used to work tell me the story about the dealer who quit with a bang.

 

I had already gotten a new job, so I was just waiting on the opportunity, although I didn't plan on doing anything, I had put in my 2 weeks notice and continued to work. With 3 days to go this is what happened.

 

I was working at Hustler Casino, and the Casino Manager was the biggest piece of , he only had the job cause he was friends with Larry, he had zero experience in the casino, and was just a high limit player. So I was dealing a 2000-4000 lowball game and the Manager was playing at the table, not only was he a , but he was a to dealers and floormen while he played in front of other customers, cussing us out throwing cards etc. So I went into the table already on edge, as all of us were when he was at the game, and about 3 hands in, he gets beat on 7th street starts cussing at me and throws his cards in my direction (wings them), 2 of the cards bounce off my neck and my shoulder. This was it, my chance at history.

 

So I stood up from the table, looked right at the and took the rest of the cards and said "Deal the cards yourself, you loser piece of " I grabbed my tray and walked off the floor.

 

The manager at the time came over to my and said wow, what was all that about, and asked if I was going to finish my shift, lol. I said in case you haven't figured it out, I quit.

 

5 years later, I met a guy at the new place I worked who worked there after I did, and we were talking about the place, and he brought up this story, and I just started laughing.

When I waited tables in college, I had a flaming ghey coworker. As luck would have it, the hostess sat a huge group of promise keepers in his section near mine.

 

He put up with their snark and preaching for a while. I heard some of it. It was not good. I told the manager "hey, you might want to head off trouble here." He ignored me.

 

Finally the guy loses it. He CLIMBS on their focking table, rips off his shirt, and starts playing with his nipple rings. He yells, "I'm gonna go home and let my boyfriend fock me in the ass. Fock you, fock Jesus, and fock this job."

 

Walked out deuces blazing. We gave him a slow clap in the kitchen.
