How to Leave a Job on Good Terms?

An anonymous reader writes "I've been working for a small development company for 6 or 7 years. My boss has always been a bit nuts but overall it hasn't been a bad experience. I recently accepted a great job offer for a technology position in a different industry. I gave my boss my notice this week, and while he initially was understanding, he has since starting making accusations of conspiracy, deceit, and has otherwise attempted to make me look bad in front of employees and long-time clients. (who, thankfully, also think he is nuts) I don't like to burn bridges, but I'm pretty sure he's already burned it to the ground, even threatening to withhold my final paycheck if I don't find a replacement before I leave. Is it worth sticking out the few weeks I already told him I worked, or should I just cut my losses and leave early?"

    I'll be moderated down for disagreeing with popular sentiments here, but I think your boss most likely has repressed homosexual feelings towards you. You should be careful as he might stalk and rape you. I recommend you quickly leave the job and change to some new city, completely erasing any traces; or else get prepared to be anally raped by your secret homo lover. But you probably are a fucking faggott yourself, aren't you, for asking such gay questions? Die Homofags Die.
