I'm giving my 2 weeks notice at work today

[Estocada]

Good Luck! I remember you posting something a few weeks ago about hoping to get a new job.
Glad it worked out for you.

Thank you, You have always been very cool to me here.

To be honest I think he was just trying to fuck with me. As much as I've crossed him, I can't imagine he would want to have to offer an almost openly insubordinate fuckhead like me more money to stay.

Well, all I can say, is at the end of your life, you're gonna wish that you had worked MORE.

Why am I leaving? moar money, etc. Why in and out? The only guy in our office at this location is my direct supervisor, whom I would gladly set on fire.

That sounds like valid reasons.

Good luck!

So, I went and got a new phone, with a different area code-my 'old' number was owned by the company. I went to the office and called him, he had just stepped out for lunch. He was all 'why are you calling me with this new number'...I was all 'I'm giving you my notice and I've got my old phone (the companies) turned off. He was quiet for a moment and said 'I'll be right there"

It was actually very cordial, but the fucker wants me to be around for the two weeks...he wouldn't let me turn in my computer. He even asked about a counter offer but I said no, kinda made up my mind etc. So I guess I'll more or less fuck off for two weeks now. Kinda sucks, cause the new job pays a lot more, but if I cut the cord, they would yank my quarterly bonus.

That sucks. I remember I had to work a full month at one place after I quit. You have a month's notice here. It sucked.

I've literally almost had a fistfight with this guy, there is more to life than a few extra $$. Plus the 'new boss' really went to bat for me on a few things. I just can't treat people tht way and yes I know I'm leaving a little money on the table.

Tell the story when you almost got into a physical fight.

That's something I've never heard before.

My hunch is he was just saying anything to get you to stay until they can get a replacement up to speed....

One of the shittiest jobs I ever had, I played real sneaky and went on interviews at lunch time and called in sick and stuff til I found a better position...The manager made a half-hearted effort to change my mind, but I was getting the fuck out regardless, so I did my 2 weeks and left.....for barely any more money. About 2 or 3 months later my previous boss(not the manager) called and they offered me what amounted to a 50% raise over what the new job was paying me, and I told him straight up there was nothing they could realistically pay me to go back to that place, even though I like him and the rest of my department; the over-all company was just way, way too shitty to it's employees.....

He was just being a nozzle. I said something like "Why do you need to belittle people that work for you?" Why do you call the salesforce of this company 'chimps'? It is their leads that make the department run.

He ended up telling me to go fuck myself and I told him, "you can certainly blow me, you sawed off little cocksucker". Then we just stared at each other for a minute. Neither of us really knew what to do next. Eventually he went into his office and I went into mne.

Inviting a man to blow you can go horribly wrong

[MatthewT]

dude, salespeople are totally chimps

I guess I'm even more of a latent homosexual than Butterhog.


But to be fair, he had already taken 'fuck you' off the table, so the blow me thing was the best I could come up with.

lol! That's pretty cool that you called your boss a cocksucker.

Everyone who works for that company, including me, is a red assed, flea scratching, shit sniffing chimp.

To his credit, he didn't threaten to terminate me or anything. We just barely spoke for a month or so and just sent back and forth very careful, 100% work related emails.

Or horribly right!

Money ain't everything.

That's kinda cool of him, actually. Must have been awkward though.
