:clap:

But why is it so nerve racking? They would drop me like a shot if it suited them!

I think it's because its your decision - there's always that little nagging feeling of 'I hope I'm doing the right thing!'

Also, if your company aren't expecting you to leave, it's nerve racking because you imagine you will have to justify exactly why you want to leave (or at least just be interested to know why)

I waited until the day I was due to have 2 weeks holiday before putting my notice in with the council. In my 4 weeks notice I worked 5 days.

I once worked for a large, well known company that conducted 'Exit Interviews' where they would ask people who handed in their notice why they were leaving.

They cancelled this initiative because they didn't like the answers they were getting!:loopy:

It is a good feeling but Im guessing an even better one would be going up to a boss you really dislike, telling them youve won the lottery jackpot and then telling them to f**k off before leaving!


The best would be to win the lottery, buy all the shares in the company, become the boss, victimise all the people who made your life hell, then sack them.

Then sell all the shares.

I had one of these when I left a part time job at a store in Meadowhall. It was really difficult - some of the questions were things like 'what do you think of the management team', when the questions were being asked by one of the managers! You could hardly turn around and say 'actually, I think youre rubbish' :roll: :P

I recently did this and felt totally liberated! after the initial going through the bosses door, it was easy.

I have to do a questionnaire, so I can take my time and think about my answers

And decide where to really stick the knife. Do you know what as I was writing that I became really paranoid that someone in IT has taken over my PC and is watching me...:suspect:

when i was younger i put my notice in in several ways,once i cracked the foreman with a shovel,another time i put a foreman inside a potatoe boiler and bolted the lid,said good bye another time by filling the inside of the managers car with water.

once i managed to write out my notice and serve it,but i liked the foreman on that job but was changing jobs for more wages

The best one I ever had was in a review. I was told I hadn't done enough work and wasn't pulling my weight. I gave my reasons why I couldn't do what they where asking of me and they agreed. Still they refused to give me a pay rise.

I was asked "So what do you think to that?" I just said, “I resign! I will give you written notice on Monday” (it was Friday). The job I was offered was a 5K pay rise with a company car!

Both of the people their, my boss, and his boss sat their like guppies! :confused: :confused:

It was great! :hihi:

Excellent, Nick2! :thumbsup:

Loving the sound of that! But I'm far too nice to do anything evil like that..... or am I? :suspect:

To hand in your notice is a very sweet thing, though :D

3 weeks until I get to tell my boss where to stick it!!! Cant wait :D

In two jobs I had they never asked me to sign a contract.

In the first on I cashed my paycheque on Friday, told the boss I wouldn't be coming in on Monday, and with the previously booked removal van moved to Sheffield on the Saturday while my flatmates were at (the same) work.

In the other one I'd just put in two 75-hour weeks and the boss said he thought I wasn't working hard enough. I had four weeks' leave coming up. As soon as the leave started I moved back to Sheffield and waited for my final month's paycheque to appear in my bank account.

The last place I quit had exit interviews, but everyone gave the same answers to they needn't have bothered really. Something about the mandtory unpaid overtime...

Yes there is one better freeling that comes to mind - ramming a pineapple (stalk first) up a misserable old cow of a boss and saying "take that you gargoyle faced, tattooed, mutton dressed as lamb, commen as muck, overly made up, rough voiced old witch".

I suppose this is a way of handing in your notice. :hihi:
