job-quitting protocol

The longer the better, minimum of 5 words each

That might become difficult to remember, depending on the number of people he works with.

sad

[Rage Against the McKee]

Tell your boss that he and most of the company are just a bunch of too-cool-for-schoolers and point out their hypocrisy in unfair ways. Tell him it's all . . . quite sad . . . really.

[meow meow]

tell them that the office feels like a German pillbox

[dmartin]

I should make up witty disparaging nicknames for all the people I work with and use them over and over

Just call every single person Captain

"The reason I've chosen to disassociate myself..."

[Rage Against the McKee]

Point out all of the ways your company contributes to the gentrification of San Francisco and tell them that displacing the poor is ok . . . as long as (insert company name here) is doing it.

I can just say they're fine with it as long as there's a democrat in office

Kind of ironic thing happened today for me.  A colleague asked if I could give him some time for a visit.  So we met up a little while ago.  He wanted to know how he should approach his supervisor about an opportunity outside of our organization that has come his way.  He is happy with his current position, but this would mean more financial security for him and his wife and daughters.  He is under contract until next August, but this job would start in January.  We had a great conversation.  Just made me think of this thread.

After leaving, create a webcomic based on the ex boss's breathtakingly incompetent, chattyass, unfunny doof, racist, impossibly useless younger brother, and highlight what he actually accomplished at his older bro's company:
-absolutely nothing of value
-political conversation wrapped in horrible racism!
-printer support, involving asking others for help doing your own damn job
-bitching about flex accounts
-bitching about all the things!
-smoke breaks!
-receiving calls from companies wanting to provide educational box lunches, and then organizing those box lunches! Leadership eff yeah!

My last job (small business, just 5 of us) I told the owner that I was putting him out of business, dropped my keys on his desk, and walked out. He went out of business about 6 months later. Feel kinda guilty.

Surely it's not that difficult to find someone to take pictures at weddings

One time I left a job by accident. I had accepted a position at another company, but they weren't going to have me start for another 2 months so I wanted to put in my two weeks a couple weeks later because I didn't feel like having a whole 2 months off (idle hands etc.). Then some other dumb company I had interviewed with (but I had already emailed saying I accepted another position) called my current boss for a reference. Anyways, I ended up with two months off

i delivered pizzas one summer because i had always wanted to do it. Anyway i did it for about a month and then was kind of like "ok i did it, now I'm done." So i told somebody to tell the boss or whatever for me. Three weeks later i get a phone call from the boss person saying "uh daris, you're on the schedule to work tonight and i need you to come in". I'm like "i haven't worked in like a month and told someone to tell you a month ago i was done". He was like "oh um oh, but i still kind of need you. can you come in?". That place was godfathers pizza in Lawrence and they went out of business a year or so after that. i did not go in. Would have been to awkward/weird.

Ya one time I was working a job (illegally I think because I was only 15?) and I just stopped showing up.  It was a job working for a pool company.  The work was just really inconsistent.  Like some days I'd be in my swimsuit vaccumming some rich person's sweet ass pool.  And then the next day I'd be pumping sludge and fishing dead possoms out of pools that people just let go to crap.

Rick, how many large sausage pizzas did you deliver to lonely housewives?

i unexpectedly got a promotion today with zero pushing, so this thread hits close to home
