That’s it…I quit! I cannot take anymooore!!!

hi paula I can remember being so angry one day while working in the library I wanted to punch this snooty woman in the jaw, and I am a very gentle woman. She turned me into my boss for murmurming what she thought were cuss words under my breath when I had to take forty books in the kids section off the shelf and re alphabetize them as someone had purposly screwed them all up. My darns and shi#s got me into hot water, and my boss insisted I had to go to this snob rich lady and apologize for swearing. Well I did it but I was so angry I cou ld cheerfully have kicked' either one or both. to top it off and my boss was standing close by the snotty woman';s little brat came by and said, damned MF bad word, bad word book I already read. I stared at him and his mom and they had the grace to both color. My boss took me aside and told me she apologized for what she had done to me. I wanted to laugh at her but I did not of course. that child knew more bad words than I had ever heard.People using a library at times forget the people who shelve the books are real people and should be treated with some respect. lol lol

I think it's funny. The other day I saw photos that a girl sent around her office. She had written a series of things on a whiteboard saying she'd quit.

Yeah, I seen this on the news and thought wow, the guy really had guts, because after 28 years of hard work,he just let it go. It is hard to find jobs out there and now with a record like he has now it will be harder for him to find a job. At least if he gotten fired he would be able to draw unemployment maybe. But now he can't, because of the way he quit.

Yes, this is been a big story here. A lot of people are disgusted, but a heck of a lot of people applaud what he did. There are a couple varying reports on what happened, but I have to think the passenger said something to drive him over the edge.

I heard about this for the first time this morning and I really am not sure how to view it. I think it has hit a chord with so many for the same reasons you mention. However, I doubt we've heard the WHOLE story quite yet. I'll be there will be a lot of passengers with a somewhat different account of the situation THis gentleman definitely really should look for another line of work! as they say, if you can't take the heat.... A radio commentator made the observation, what if a cop took it into his head, after many years on the force, to make a dramatic exit? Could be scary! If anyone suffers abuse, it would be them! What about a doctor or nurse? I remember I had one of those delightful jobs where you know your days there are numbered. I think, though, that maintaining one's cool and head in stressful situations, in the long run, come out the winner. In my case, it wasn't the job, per se, but the boss, who was playing a head game with me, to pressure me into putting my kids in daycare, and be there at his beck and call. He wanted me to be a manager. He did things deliberately to yank my chain. I just kept my head down, did the job I was assigned, ie, scrubbing the sinks when he trained a young part-time teenage girl to do the jobs he wanted me to do. He never even offered to train me. He figured I'd come begging him to teach me. If he had treated me with some dignity, instead of trying to manipulate me with games, I was very interested and would have tried to find a way to make it work. As it was, the way he treated me and others had made me look elsewhere. I just bided my time, and shortly thereafter, I approached him privately to submit my resignation. He was flabbergasted! "is it because of yadayada?" not at all," I said, "I simply got a better offer" which was perfectly true. I thanked him graciously, turned on my heel and left his office. The look on his face, and being able to walk away from him AND maintain my composure, my dignity and my self-control, was so WORTH IT!

Is it wrong that I'm torn between finding that hilarious and feeling sorry for the poor guy? I'm a student, and haven't had a job to resign from, but I know that even if I were in a crappy job, I probably wouldn't have the courage to resign so dramatically. It would probably take me a long time to get up the courage to resign AT ALL.

Hi there Paula27661, I just does it,..every body knows that i was working at Bali island, for more than 3 years, my bos add me some job to do selling bags, at my working hour and add me 3 more dogs, in the cage, beside Rado without any raised. My salary is already under goverment minimum payment, and the reason that i stick there all this time is Rado, but i realized that i'm not the real owner, never will be... so decided to go when see my salary envelope still thin as usual, that does it! i may be stupid, but.. not for long,.. beside, i can't barely see the tree more dogs inside the 2x3 metre cages everyday and i think it's animal abusive, .. barbarik..and i keep saying this, "Why if you can't take care your own dog, why have four???" One of the dogs is very big type, its Golden i think this cage is too small for her..this is it,i tell those 4 dogs sad story to the world, and i'm out of hand to help them..

I kind of attacked one boss who was being particularly obstenant... My doctor introduced me to Prozac shortly thereafter...

Hilarious! There was a manager here who sent out a resignation note that was pretty classic. I can't repeat it here, but it had a top 10 list of the company's foibles that were pretty hilarious. Dilbert would have been proud.

Just stopping by for a second to tell you that I just loved this story. That really was the straw that broke the camel's back! I do have a story but not really funny.will try to return to this discussion again later. Blessings. Not on linemuch - no time at work. Not even a lunchbreak.

Oh yes...I would like to gather a few people and just let them know what I think. I am an open person but in my position, there are times when I have to contain my personal opinions...lol..

That is hilarious! What a sight that would have been. I wish I had been on that flight to see that going down! The closest thing I have done to quitting spectacularly was when I was working as a contract panel beater in 1997 and the boss wanted me to repair the tailgate of a car that I considered beyond repair. I had had enough of the place anyway and the boss's silly rules that made it hard to earn a decent living there. I had lost money working on this particular car at the time as it had taken me so long to repair this written off vehicle using his dodgy equipment and when I was told to repair the tailgate, I spat the dummy and told him to pay me for the work that I had done so far to the vehicle and walked out mid job! One of his guys on wages ended up repairing it and it took him all day!

lmfao. I love this story! It is truly a dramatic way to end a job and while I laugh and enjoy it this way it really was innapropriate. It was unprofessionala dn I think he could ave handled himself better on that final plane ride before quitting and explaining his concerns to his employers. It is the equivilant, to me, of a postal worker going crazy after so long for working for the same postal service and shooting everyone one day. It's not good. I feel for him for no longer havign ajob and now a criminal rrecord but in reality he was being reckless and endangering others. When I first rerad the stopry I thought it was stupid taht he got arrested for it but then i started to put myslef in the situation. I mean, if I was one of those passengers I would be [retty scared of that man and of the entire situation I would ahve found myself in. And while the passenger who ahd set it all off for him was rude and disrespectful and probally deserved what he hasd coming (and needd to be brought down that notch), it still was innapropriate again! It was unprofessional and I'd liekt o see him get a job after that.

I don't know if most people have the dream resignation in their minds but I do. If I ever win the lottery and do not care how many bridges I burn, I would tell some of the people that call me on the phone within my company exactly what I think regarding their intelligence. The people I work with on a daily basis including my managers are great, so my scenario would not include saying anything to them in a hurtful way, but boy those people on the phone, I sure would love to give them a piece of my mind.

i wonder how many copycats there are going to be. thats a cool story though.

Slater has become quite a hero. I worked for the public all my life & it can be quite trying. I was a hairdresser among other things & there was a few i would have liked to have pulled bald headed, lol. Everyone should have to work personally w/the public for at least 6 months & see how tacky they can act. I was self emp;oyed for the last 20 years i worked so never resigned from that, did have the option to not take people i didn't want to fool with, lol.

Well the employees of the world united in laughter joined in mind with this brave soul. There isn't a one who hasn't secretly wished they had a last line like he did. I know somethings he did are going to cost him, but I bet he will never regret that he did it.

well this was a nice story ..i enjoyed it and recomend all my friends to see it
