The most creative way too....

[Danrak]

Whats the most creative/unique way you can come up with to quit your job?

Personal, I've always wanted to call into work one day saying something like: I'm feeling really great today, its a wonderful day outside and I know if I come to work it will spoil my mood.

How would you do it?

Personally I think if I were to do it then the only way to do it right would be just like in Office Space.

Do what I did...before I was in computers...I worked in retail at Waldenbooks (i know, i know) and the store manager pissed me off long enough...I could not take it ANYMORE! So, (I was assistant manager) the store manager had me working outside in the middle of the mall in a kiosk that sold calendars for the store. Well, our regular employee called in sick, so I am babysitting a kiosk with nothing to do and my boss pissed me off for the last time! I kept calling the store, making prank calls and hanging up for over 2 hours, and they don't have any type of caller ID service, so I figured what the heck? After that, I was bored and decided I was hungry, and went to the food court, leaving an empty calendar kisok. (Can you say, "FREE CALENDARS TO ALL!" I finally come back, (ONLY cause I forgot my smokes) and decide to go outside...

(one small detail...I stayed outside and hopped in the car.)

I went out for a smoke and never came back! I went home, only to find my first computer technician job two days later by word of mouth. I found out later, the manager was short of employees in the store already (being xmas season then)and she had to close the entire kiosk down and got fined from the mall!

BULLETIN: A month ago THIS year, I saw the psycho b*tch working as a part-time employee at Sam Goody's Music Store in another mall!!!

A friend of mine actually did this at a telemarketing job he had had enough of. He showed up for work as normal, but instead of reading the "script" to the people on the phone, he asked everyone the computer dialed "Is Pedro there?" until he actually GOT a Pedro, and then he proceeded to ask "Do you like primates, you know, apes and monkeys and horses and things?" LOL!!! When they brought him into the main office to dismiss him, halfway through the proceedings he held up his hand and said "Wait--I want my lawyer to be here for this." He walked out, got a stuffed monkey, wrapped its arms around the top of his head, went back in and sat down for the rest of the spiel. The other telemarketers couldn't stop laughing!

I also heard of one who got fired from the same place for having phone sex with a customer.

I was rehired in one hour. My boss and I took the rest of the day off and drank at the local bar. But I still left 2 weeks to the day, even after the 15% percent raise.

When he plays it, while I am standing there, it starts off with theme music to Mission Impossible. It then fades in to a little ditty made (in)famous by Johnny Paycheck-Take This Job and Shove It. It ends with the usual "If you decide to take this assignment...". I close with one word - "Questions?"

Scenario 2:

I've won the lottery. Arrive in a limo wearing sandals, shorts and loudest island shirt I can find escorted by a couple of drop-dead beautiful, large breasted babes in cut offs and halter tops. Go look for the boss everywhere so I can be seen. Then go to the boss's office and announce my good fortune and my intention to "Give Notice" as in NOTICE I'm NOT COMING IN AGAIN EVER!

When I was in College I worked at an arcade in a mall. And, as you can imagine, when one is making minimum wage, one is not very apt to take any Bull S%$#.

So, whenever a customer would get mad about a machine taking their money, or whatever, I would say "so?" They would always get mad and ask to speak to a manager, so I would go get "him" "Him" would be the other guy working the arcade that night, one of my best friends, and he would come out STORMING mad. He would apologize to the customer profusely, fire me on the spot, take my keys and demand I leave immediately. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smile.gif I would leave crying, with my head down and go get supper.

Of course this was all a prank, and he would say to the customer something to the effect "Are you happy now?". A few times, he made people cry, and beg him to hire me back!

Oh, how I long for the days of youthful irresponsibility.

My last day on a warehouse job a couple years ago, I decided I wanted to go out with a bang. So, I dropped some acid when I got to work, and spent the day dancing throughout the aisles. My coworkers had almost as much fun as I did that day, as the boss was out for most of the morning. When he finally showed up, it was very difficult to appear somewhat normal, but he never suspected. They even threw me a going away party that afternoon!

[HairBaLL]

I would walk calmly into the boss' office and say;
"Well, my research here is done. I've kindof gotten attached to ya kid, so I'll see what I can do when they come for you, but I can't make any guarentees."
Then I would look down at my watch and say;
"Time to go, cya in the mines."
Then I would bolt out the door taking off the company shirt as I go (I'd be wearing an undershirt). Outside would be one of those black tinted official looking Ford Explorers with the open side door that I would jump into. The truck would of course peel away before I even got the door closed...

weirdest and ashamed, but I was 16 at the time, my boyfreind got in a car accident and I had to leave town to be with him.

When I quit my last tech job I gave my notice in the morning right after our "am update meeting" I drove a truck around all day setting up 3 small networks for different clients and when I got back to the office they gave me my 2 weeks pay and told me that I could work out the weeks or not. Needless to say I didn't show up again. The best part of it was that I danced out the door singing Celebration high fiving ex-coworkers!

I worked for a now defunct computer manufacturer that hadn't given us anything but **** for 3 years. I had decided that because of the "employment at will" clause, I thought I'd skip the usual 2 week crap and just quit or let them fire me for the unemployment. The night before I left all of my co-workers threw me a going away party at a local German Beirhaus (yum - Dab!), stayed at my girlfriends that night and went in without a shower, combing my hair, etc.

I got in before my boss, said goodbye to people that I hadn't gotten a chance to, then proceded to his office. I went to his phone knowing he was only a few minutes from getting in. I took his phone's receiver and rammed the mouthpiece, well, where the sun don't shine. Then I thought that his nice fishtank looked like a great place to take a huge morning-after-lots-of-german-beer piss. Just as I was shaking the dew off the lily, he walks in, see me finishing off and was absolutely speechless (the first time ever, I assure you).

Needless to say I got a free psych eval and 2 months paid time off. First day back I quit!!!

I worked for an ISP as a SysAdmin. So I was incharge of the entire network and manager of the tech dept(3 full time internet techs). Anyway, the owner was a total *** and didn't know anything about computers. He came stroming over from his office located accross town and demanded the root password. I refused to give it to him becuase he has no reason to even touch that network. He said "their is something wrong with that web server I know it." I asked him "like what?" He said that "a customer (his neighbor) posted his personal website and it didn't take." So after round and round and threatening me with my job I gave him the root pass. He totally screwed up the web server. At this point I could care less. He turned around and yelled at me loud enough to where the customers who where talking to the techs could hear. He said "fix this damn thing before I get back to my office." And stormed out. I told all of the techs to hang up the phone. They finished their conversations with the customers and then logged off the phones. I asked them to raise their hand if they are sick and tired of his (owner) damn wining. They all raised their hands. I then replied "who is willing to walk right now?" They again raised their hands. So we threw our pagers on the desk and I walked out the back door with the whole tech dept behind me.

Come find out. The customer (his neighbor) was publishing his personal site to a frebie site on the net.

I ended up hating one of my Bosses so much that I started flirting majorly with his wife. Very good looking woman and in great shape for 40. (Mind you I was 19 at the time) Anyway I got her so into me that it was easy to bed her down (******* boss never paid any attention to heranyway) I got her in the storage room one day and I set it up so he would end up coming in there (Took all his paper out of his printer Hee Hee) and he walked in on us. I was happy to leave and they ended up separating. About a year later his whole business went belly up. I ran into him in a bar a few years later and he thanked me for getting him out of the relationship with his wife and because of him catching us he didn't have to pay alimony however he was probably full of it. The guy was bombed in the bar. I also came to find that his xwife married some guy worth millions so she is happier now as well. Seems like everyone's better off now.

I worked at a place where the boss was always late doing the schedule. (Usually done on Fri. for the next day) I had gotten hired at a new job the night before, so about 3/4 the way through the day I saw her working on the next weeks (and days) schedule. I then said to her "Don't put me on the schedule for next week, this is my last day." She wasn't real happy and said about how you were supposed to give two weeks notice, etc. I just walked away. A few minutes later the HR person showed up in my dept. (This was a large Dept store) I then had to go to HR for an "exit interview". On the way there I got the 2 weeks notice thing again. She then stated "Since you didn't give two weeks notice you realize you will never be able to be hired by our company again". I looked at her and said "SO?" Her reply was an insightful "I can see that doesn't bother you." Nope, not one bit, thats why I quit!

As a fellow cable modem tech for AT&'x' (replace the 'x' with the correct initial), I personally agree. However, you could do one worse.

Hi dudes. When you have a boss like the one I have. You just don't have no other choice that to LIE!! to him. I have been working in this computer small business for 7 years and I and tired of the watching what we doing every move I do. Giving us bad looks like it hurts his feeling to pay us. So I asked him for my vacation and he avoids me every time I talk about my vacation (He is smelling that I want to visit my brother but also want to look for a job.). So I am improvising a plan where my brother is going to send somebody on his unit to call like he is badly hurt. So I can take my emergency vacation and my brother will be waiting for me in good health to help me get a job like a technician in his unit and I can quit this hellhole. I will be the happiest person in the world. This is what you have to do when you have a boss like the one I have. Lie; improvise a plan (somebody is sick I have to go.) get two weeks off and find another job while you gone and then come back and resign. Give him the hook up.


PS: If I leave him. he will not have no full time technician and no senior tech.

Those ways of quitting can backfire, too....

While I have never had the opportunity to quit a job in grand style (never worked for some of the hellions I just read about!), I remember back when I was assistant managering a fast-food joint (hey, I was putting myself through tech school!)....

One of our employees was a real ***; always late, surly to the customers, couldn't keep his area clean, the usual. Well, eventually, we started working up the paperwork to fire him.

THAT DAY, this kid (19 years old) picks a fight with one of the shift leaders right in the middle of lunch rush (I think it was about serving raw french fries or something). I step in to try to calm the situation, and this jerk starts in on me. Then my boss gets in his face and the kid turns on him. BAM! You're fired!

Kid strips out of his uniform right down to his skivvies (in front of God and everyone) and storms out. (Kid weighed about 300 lbs - not a pretty sight.)

Well.......

About four months later, Kid shows up and wants to order food like a regular customer.

Needless to say, I took rather great glee in refusing him service. He'd already paid, so I did a refund on the register and tried to give him back his money (his food was already ready). He got pissed, screamed at me (at which point my boss came out, saw who it was, and backed me up), and stormed out of the place leaving his cash on the counter. We never saw him again as long as I worked there.

(Note: he'd spent about $10 on lunch - guess who got the cash?) http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smile.gif

You could burn down one of the servers. Throw linux or NT on it and turn it into a Counter-Strike game box or whatever flavor game you like. Then host the game on the company LAN. If you don't have a techie boss they may never find out. You might have to bring it to their attention.
