Most Fun Way to Leave a Bad Job?

Posted by Cliff on from the got-a-light dept.

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?"

    Look, that wasnt a troll you fucking idiot moderator. He's just an IDIOT. There is no nice way to say that, and either I can try explaining why he's an idiot to a bunch of idiots, or I can know that those who would understand such an explanation would already understand how and why this guy is an idiot. There's nothing "Troll" about it, it had to be said, and it was primarily anti-troll because now anyone who wants to call this guy an idiot just because they're assholes (as opposed to because this guy is an idiot) can see that they are not needed.
