To ask for the worst way to resign? (Petty)

[InTheAbyss]

After almost a year of working for a bitchy, micro-managing boss, I'm within tasting distance of a new job and am fantasising about ways I can get her back for months of nit-picking and holding annual leave requests over my head by making my resignation as annoying and inconvenient as I can.

I'm thinking of sending the email:

• before a long meeting she has to chair
• 4.55 on a Friday
• the morning of her going away on holiday when I know she'll need working from home that day

I know I'm being silly and petty and I'll probably do a boring old resignation instead, but thinking up petty ways to ruin her day with my resignation is giving me so much glee.

What's the worst ways you've ever resigned? or thought about but chickened out?

The childish me also tells everyone about a 'nickname' she said she had been given in a previous role. Think along the lines of 'The Satin Crusher' (I know it sounds ridiculous, but she was genuinely proud of it!!).

Everyone either says 'how embarrassing' or just raises an eyebrow in surprise.

No it wasn't in north of England or banking, and I'd already resigned, it was actually my last day and my parting shot. So I literally left and left her to deal with the fall out. And honestly I don't regret it, she was horrible, absolutely horrible.

I booked all my holiday first to cover my notice period then gave them my resignation on (his precious) company headed paper as I was leaving that day.

The boss was a monster and walking out of there knowing I never had to go back was the best feeling in the world!

I handed my boss a pile of post, amongst it was my resignation He was so disorganised that he left it in his car and opened it three weeks later.

I left a job where I was really unhappy and the company was shocking. I decided to walk out at lunch time, which gave me plenty of opportunity to create a load of fake invoices and payments on their system. Petty I know and I did feel fleetingly sorry for the poor person who took over from me had to sort it all out, but it gave me a perverse sense of satisfaction.

In the early 80s my Dad was made redundant with immediate effect so he went round and bent all the keys in the filing cabinets so nobody could access any paperwork.

When I was made redundant I shredded every thing on my desk, all the client permission forms that allowed us to contact their banks, also wiped all the forms they'd ask me to create off my laptop and off the USB backup 3 month's work gone in seconds although I kept a copy for myself which I used at my next job.

I am loving these! My company are getting worse by the day, management making decisions about pay cuts that are illegal and we have to contact HR to make them aware of them!

I am actively job searching and these are giving me more encouragement to do so!

I forgot one.

The guy who was doing various unlawful things and was called into a meeting to be asked questions. Bear in mind the employer had no idea whether he’d misbehaved at all, so it wasn’t predetermined in any way and frankly he could have lied his way out.

But no. He thought he writing was on the wall, so spent a few hours dobbing in al the people he hated for all the illegal things they’d been doing (lots), confessed to his own sins, then handed his resignation (effective immediately) to his stunned audience and walked out of the building.

I worked PT at Asda, and came back after a knee replacement. I was told to ask for any help I needed with transferring heavy stock cages to the shop floor. A new supervisor said if I couldn't do the job on my own I should leave. So I did, mid-shift; leaving a resignation letter on his desk.

I had already resigned and on my last hour of working my boss brought me to his office to talk about my hours I had worked and claimed for. He believed that I couldn’t claim for them. I knew I could then tried to say that he had been keeping a close eye on the breaks I had at work - toilet breaks etc - at that point I walked out, said that I was phoning the union and left. I filed a grievance and claimed 3 hours overtime for compiling it (16 pages) - They upheld my grievance and paid me the extra overtime. Apparently he had 26 grievances against him, I couldn’t understand why they kept him on?

I left a job I hated and had been very unhappy in. Although I wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, I managed to keep it all professional and left to work as consultant. (Wrote my resignation letter with the help of google just before telling my boss.)

After I left they had a wee crisis and I was asked to do some contract work for them at a very nice hourly rate. I've used that to leverage the same rate for my other jobs.

Living well really is the best revenge.

I worked weekends in the kitchen with some Prisoner cell block H type characters, they were awful. The last shift they all came in when I was in the washing up area, where I had been put for the final hour and demanded I clean the whole room down, nasty looks between them. Yup, I walked out, clocked out and the next morning handed in my notice via email. I do smile as I see jobs advertised there A LOT.
My current weekend job same position, the office manager nasty piece of work, they advertise so often, I stick with it but have read this thread and plan my revenge, however the actual job is caring for the elderly and I wouldnt want to let them down

The thing is 8 years ago when I started, my company was a bit rubbish to work for with a couple of real bitches in charge. We had a very high staff turnover and a number of exotic notice letters and walkouts. We are doing really well now and it's so much nicer but people don't forget some of this stuff. We are a niche industry and people tend to move and come back, best not to completely burn your bridges sometimes, is what I am saying.

I resigned and when ask where I was going told them I didn’t have another job.

They hated the fact I’d rather leave jobless than carry on.

As it happened I landed a much better job the following week - but my god she was a botch

@GreenTulips I did this too. I LOVED IT! Enjoyed every second. It still gives me the thrills 5 years later

My old boss was absolutely useless and promised me a lot that never materialised. I hung on while the company slowly went down the pan, until it was just the two of us and I couldn't take it anymore. So I waited until the day after I had just been paid a massive commission and quit. Worked 2 weeks of my notice at home before he put me on garden leave. On the day I handed my laptop back I drove to the beach on a whim and spent the day there. God it felt liberating!

This story about Harrods turned out to be a joke, but it would've been amazing if it was true! www.snopes.com/fact-check/false-christmas-stalking/
