Most Fun Way to Leave a Bad Job?

medscaper asks: "I have an awesome opportunity this morning. Since the market is opening up, I was offered a great new tech job over the weekend, and have been stuck in a miserable one for the past several years. I spend more time stressing out and anxious about keeping my job than getting any quality work done. I'm SO looking forward to walking into my boss's office this morning to let him know that I'll be leaving. I'm tempted to do it with style, especially because I got a (completely unwarranted) PHB-style threatening lecture last week about my work habits. I really don't need the recommendation or a reference, so it doesn't matter much how I leave. Should I politely give the standard 2-weeks? Or should I have a little fun with it and burn some bridges? Anyone have any stories to relate?"

That's what happened to me once

Few years ago I was about to leave to another company and a position.

I told my boss I was leaving, we started organizing my duties to my colleagues etc.

Few days later I was told from my new employer, that my deal has just changed: completely different position. They told me this change by _email_!

I was very happy, that I was nice to my old boss. He let me stay, and I worked about one year after this at my old job.

So, I'd recommend being nice for your boss :)
