Quitting Your Job

waffleman

I hate my office job - I did an I.T. degree for 4 years and have been working for a large company for nearly 10 years now since leaving uni.

I'd say on a daily basis I think of different ways to quit my job if I could.

And before everyone comes in sayin "BOOOO shut up you're lucky to have a job the way things are!!!" I know this but everyone dreams of not having to work and living the dream.

So if I won the lotto tomorrow I would put in my earphones on my ipod, scroll down to "LLCoolJ - Mama said knock you out", press play, drop kick my PC out my office window, walk into my managers office and take a big shiny sh!t on his forehead and stroll out like I owned the place.

Does anyone else have similar thoughts? If so please share

Or am I just a disturbed individual who needs help?

Winning the lotto would give you a choice.:rolleyes:

You do talk a lot of waffle,man.

Speaking as a programmer, I would say your plan for action upon winning the Lotto is just about right. Except the music... needs metal.

Throw a handful of viagra into the coffee machine then arrange a fire drill.

There was a job I was in a few years ago & while driving to work I'd often wonder about steering the car into the ditch so I wouldn't have to go in.
Then when I was actually there I'd pray a pipe would burst/ the roof would fall in/ anything really to get me out of there.
The happiest day of my life was when I left there. The only disappointment was that I didn't get to give my boss a good kick in the nuts before I left.
I've a funny feeling he had an idea how much I hated him & his cnut of a company.

Head to work as normal except with Guns, Alcohol and Cigars in hand

One thing I have done already.... Lidl were selling some UV security pens a while back. I ended up writing a few UV messages on peoples PC screens.

Well, drop-kicking a PC would mean you'd leave on a stretcher or crutches.
Hardly a "I won the lotto" exit.

Nice. Thanks for the tip.

You kids with your LLCoolJs and Angel-Massive Attacks. Metallica Sad But True is the way to go. Just imagine strolling down the corridor with that big grin on your face after winning the lotto and the sound of Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who takes you there
Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who cares
They, They betray
I’m your only true friend now
They, They’ll betray
I’m forever there

Playing in your ears. You'll feel like a milion bucks. Anyway if you hate your job then why not take up some college course for something else. It's never too late to go back to college. Hell i know this one guy who's 42 and is currently studying Criminology somewhere

You mean the sulky "I hate the internet because my Lear jet only has gold taps and not platinum ones" crew, who later became the "yeah, I like the internet" crew? Pussies.

I said "metal". I meant, "metal".

the choice to quit my job yes - obviously not to squeeze out a code brown on my boss

do you like your job and get on with everyone you work with? Better yet you're loaded and dont have to work at all! if so I'm jealous

Let's say you worked somewhere you dont like or bores you to tears - you spend 40 hours a week around people you have nothing in common with except choice of university course - you win the lotto - how would you make your exit? or how would you LIKE to make your exit?

To be honest, nobody would know. I would keep the cash aside for a while. Sure, pay my parents' mortgage and bills alongside my own, but no flash. Give it six months for things to die down, and then resign pretending to take a job in another country... in reality, a yacht crewed by hookers.

Now, that's a professional finish. Have to ask - general drop-zone or in the mouth?

"But you're lucky to have a job" has to be one of the most irritating things to ever hear. Just because there's a recession doesn't mean every job is suddenly fan-fcuking-tastic. Sh!tty jobs are still sh!tty, even if they're a job as opposed to being unemployed.

Sometimes the latter seems much more appealing. A friend of mine works in an office where none of the staff are happy but nothing changes. I'd do my nut if I worked there. I don't think he's in any way lucky to be there - he would be better off unemployed. The impact on his mental health would be phenomenal.

For sure I agree - in reality I would probably do the same things

I was goin for more along the lines of what kind of extreme things people might think about doing (exactly like your yaught full of hookers which i find most appealing) and there's no denying I've thought of a few!!

The dump on my boss was just the one that came to mind when typing up the opener for this thread

'Office Space' is classic. i was an office junior admin once and every time any of the "more important" engineers joined the company i had to clear my desk and move to some crappy filthy desk and had to move 5times in less than a year :mad:
OP if you were made redundant you would get a nice sum for your 10years of service, maybe enough to buy you time off to find sometihing better

Alessandra

Something like this maybe?

Now we're talking Alessandra. Sure, no metal but a great soundtrack from a terrific film. One question... where's the ****e in the mouth?

quit,and on the social welfare form where it says: Reason for leaving your last employment ? simply write : END OF CONTRACT "Technically" you are not lying, it's just that 'you' ended the contract and not your employer. You will have your money in 12 weeks or less, because of the backlog, depending on your circumstances. Your local Health Centre 'might' give you money in the meantime

staying in a job you hate, will wreck your head, and give you cancer

good luck
