[RESOLVED] "TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT"

Well I worked for this company that felt the Linux Department doesnt need to go any further in life. (I was manager of there Linux R&D department) Any ways they came to me (the Tech support manager) and told me that I was being laid off. He told me not to say anything about the lost of money and the real reason for the closing of the Linux Department (They went bankrupt) anyways this pissed me off so bad I wrote a 2 page email about how the Linux Department is going under and how they went bankrupt etc.. and sent it to everyone in the building.

Yeah I know this was stupid..But having a tech support manager come tell you this because your boss was to scared to say it in your face comon. I did somthing very small I could have done somthing biger.

Well im over it, making more money for the government gee who would of thoght..

Oh I just got a new G4 woohoooo! (had to put it in sorry im very excited)

Stop bustin my chops!
Ill do it!

I didn't exactly leave my last job under the best of terms from my end of things. I worked at a store for 6 1/2 years and was the head tech. I had a fairly good relationship with the owner and his new partner, and if anyone needed to know anything about something I was the one they would ask. They had offered me a piece of the store for a certain amount of money, but my financial situation was a little tight so I was unable to accept their offer to buy in. The part that got me really upset was that another tech was offered the same deal. This was a tech who had been there for barely a year, had quit the store half way through his year to pursue a better job (which turned out to be a pipe dream), and had returned back to the store for several months when he was offered a buy-in. When I tendered my Letter of Resignation, I put in it that I thought I should have at least been in on the decision or discussion of letting the other tech buy in. I was basically told that it wouldn't have mattered what I said because it was their decision to make. I think they offered it to him because they were nervous about his leaving again, since when he left the first time I was the only tech and things were difficult without another tech on staff at the time. There was no way that I could even consider working for the tech that I had trained. When I left I gave them a months notice and even went back in to help them work on printers since no one there knew how. Now I've started my own service business and am currently "stealing"(I'm sure that's how they see it) a lot of their clients. It's not my fault that they now can't support their client's needs with two techs that have less ability than I have in my little finger (possibly the middle one, hehe).

Update: I forgot to mention that I also stole the other good tech from my former bosses. The tech/owner had to hire his friend who has zero experience (unless you include building his own computer and tinkering with Linux as experience). They still have no one with printer experience and the calls here keep coming in. I have heard from a little birdie that the store is deeply in debt and their future is uncertain. It's too bad that they didn't see my leaving as a problem until I had actually left.
To all you bosses out there: make sure you keep your experienced techs happy!
