I did the professional thing and gave notice and played nice but didn’t do any work beyond the bare minimum to ensure a smooth handoff.
But then, with an hour to go on my last day my boss asked me again to do something that isn’t and shouldn’t be my job.
I left that shit on read and got drunk.
Damn, with an hour to go?? Desperate ass jobs.
I was willing to let things slide for a peaceful exit after winning our first contract, as long as the company played nice with my union and respected my right to organize. Instead the maker of Call of Duty fired me for talking about gun safety, so now it’s time for a fight. Lucky for me Activision doesn’t know how to bust unions, you’re supposed to fire organizers before they win
For a certain job, you can get a crowd to fuck shit up and still get rehired 4 years later.
I had only quit one job out of anger. I was the Front End Lead at Kmart and my boss and HR lady met with me to explain how the current PM Supervisor was performing terribly, and offered me her position. I accepted. They must have spoken to her about it and then changed their minds or something, because a couple of days later she came in all slimy and confronted me at the counter, saying she heard I met with them and was gunning to take her job, etc. Obviously she had not been removed from the position and now there was this fucked up dynamic between us. I was livid that they put me in that position at all. I went to speak with the HR lady and she said my boss had apparently dropped the ball on the whole ordeal, so I found him in the store and quit. Told him they did me fucking dirty and walked out.
A week or so later I finally answered their calls, and they had demoted her and gave me her position, along with a decent pay raise. I probably shouldn’t have taken it, but I did. Outside of that incident they had always treated me pretty well and were accommodating of my time off requests throughout the years. Taking that job set into motion the next decade of managing at every single business I applied to – only leaving jobs due to one closing, and two others due to moving away. I’m still managing now, but I work in the grocery industry rather than straight retail.
Left my last job on bad terms despite doing everything to the letter of my contract. They were hugely offended, betrayed that I hadn’t given them a heads up 3 months before handing in my notice. Even tried to reject my resignation letter.
man I need to win the lottery.
Heh. The “burn it to the ground” bit is in the critical script I never documented properly.
I didn’t leave anything undocumented on purpose, but my job is just actually hard, so there’s always something.
When it comes up, they find out - how good of a boss were they?
They can dial my personal number, leave a message, and wait to find out.
You shouldn’t burn bridges, they are metal you should try a wrecking ball.
I’ve Irish goodbye’d a couple shitty jobs. The last time b4 current career I got the phone call at work, he asked when I could start, I said a month from now, and then just left without telling anybody.
Two chicks at the same time.
