I've always said that if I won the lottery I would hire a professional camera crew to come in there and film me quitting. I'd make it into a huge production. Without a doubt I would have to throw in the scene from Half Baked: "F#*! You, F#*! You, F#*! You, You're Cool, F#*! You, I'm out!" I suppose you could do this on a cheaper scale with just a buddy and a home camcorder.
Totally agree ! I have people that work for me now that I used to work for.....and would again..... You just never know. DD
Agreed. It's always best to leave on a good note. You never know when you might need something from your former employer like a reference. Always try to be the bigger man, even if your employer isn't. Companies invest a lot of time and money into you as an employee. I would probably give 2 weeks notice and do everything I can to help the boss find someone to replace me. Show some class and leave on a good note. Unless of course they piss you off, in which case I would just take a dump on the bosses desk. Hope that helps.
Get a cheap old cassette or cd player and record Johnny Paycheck's (the irony of the name...) "Take This Job and Shove It" on it. As you leave, put it in an overhead cabinet or one of your desk drawers if you have one. Lock it. Walk out. For more fun, hit repeat or record repeatedly on a cassette.
only way to do it! do what you would wish to be done to you - and as others pointed out, you never know when you might need a favor from them (ie: reference).
No, not on the desk. You take it in a box, wrap it up like a present, and have it specially delivered.
All these soft hippie replies about responsibility and two weeks notice. Personally, I use violent shoot-outs as my two weeks notice. Needless to say, I haven't had many jobs.
