BR46 Posted December 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2019 We all dream of walking up to the boss and telling them off before walking out the door. This is one of the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr. Silly Posted December 13, 2019 Popular Post Share #10 Posted December 13, 2019 I think it is always best to give a proper 2 weeks notice when leaving a position and to behave professionally during the final days. That said... a couple years ago, the guy who managed the e-mail system here left his position. On his last day he sent a very nice e-mail to all 75,000 people who work here thanking us for the opportunity he was given. The e-mail was very thoughtful, the number of people who "Replied All" was impressive. There was also a number of helpful people who "Replied All" suggesting that people shouldn't use "Reply All" to thank the e-mail administrator. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 13, 2019 Share #11 Posted December 13, 2019 Of all the jobs I've quit, I've never told off the boss. Mine was a relatively small industry and reputation was what kept me employed. Some of the places I've left have even hired me back as a consultant for short jobs that seemed very important to them. I guess it's the "don't burn bridges syndrome". For example, Pratt and Whitney is one of those employers that doesn't give out ex employee information other than "yes he worked here from xxxx to xxxx. When they layed me off my upper level manager made me an offer of "any time, anyone, just ask and I will write a review for you" That was probably because a couple of weeks before the layoff I wrote a "how to cookbook" for non technicians to cover my responsibilities if I got laid off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pissed but I didn't care. In 2007 the manger put me on 3rd shift permanently with one day notice. Only when he found out that another company offered me a job I went back to 1st shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share #14 Posted December 13, 2019 I worked for a company that would terminate employees who resigned, immediately. That was within the laws at the time. So, the employee who provided proper notice was left without pay for that notice given. After seeing this repeat itself several times, I resigned giving 4 weeks notice. I also commenced 4 weeks due vacation that day. Unscrupulous employers get their way too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here they'll walk you out if you say you're going to a competitor. I've decided that when I give my 2 weeks, I'm going to say I am going to the competitor. When they walk me out, I'll file for unemployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked for a company that did the same thing. People started giving 2 hours notice on Friday afternoon and started a new job on Monday. That's what I did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted December 13, 2019 Share #18 Posted December 13, 2019 I've only left two jobs, and both times, although there were legitimate reasons I wanted to make a change, the people at the prior company had always treated me fairly and I wanted to be as professional and responsible as I could on the transfer. If people were less fair with me, I'd be less concerned about helping to make the transition smooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I was let go immediately after giving notice and did not pay out vacay time, the next guy to leave took 2 weeks vacay & quit the day he came back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted December 13, 2019 Share #23 Posted December 13, 2019 Considering their are customers who may be offended by the cursing and maybe a little frightened by someone singing it in front of them, I think the old "Take this job and shove it," would have been more appropriate in a public place.

Prophet Zacharia Posted December 13, 2019 Share #24 Posted December 13, 2019 I’ve never quit a non-seasonal job. I’m seriously considering changing that, but still hoping my efforts to avoid needing to do so will prevail. But they are testing my patience.
