Job resignation etiquette

What is your preference?

Mine is to take the politically-correct way out and not burn any bridges.

be very careful and courteous upon leaving a former place of employment.... but leave them something anonymously so you'll feel better about yourself.

2 weeks notice, polite approach.

While it's nice to think about doing the "fuck you parade" through the office, you never know if something will come back to haunt you.

Go to work Monday morning. Act like everything is fine. Either leave during lunch break, or at the end of the day. Andnever come back. And don't answer your phone. Then post on a forum about the end result.

One job I was there 3 days and hated every minute so finished the 3 shifts on my rota and never went back or said a word to them after my scheduled days off as I’d had another job offer, weeks later one of my mates relations had to tell them I was working elsewere wasn’t going back they thought I was on the sick.

Another job I got a warning over something that wasn’t my fault so after the warning I just asked if they were finished then got my things and left. Have worked for myself most of my life and wouldn’t reccomend this for people who need references but then again in one job I worked with a fat sack of shit who was sacked for stealing over 20 grand worth of materials from his employer which to make his act worse was the nhs which is apparently cash strapped as it is and the fat stinking little bastard still managed to get employed afterwards so I guess anything is possible

Lol good stuff once again!

Builders steal materials often to use for private jobs.
And when they do those private jobs they use the employers tools also.
So employers is double fucked.
No tripple fucked because these guys do private jobs for years and years and because of that they dont get enough rest and fuck up the back, neck and knees and have to go on extensive sick leave which the employer has to pay for. O brother!!

It’s the smart way to go. If you do hate the place where you work, just telling people off isn’t going to be enough when what you really want to do is go in there and either shoot the place up or take a baseball bat to your boss, and doing those is no good as it’s not worth getting locked up over a job.

Very true mate, that’s exactly what that fat little twat I mentioned was doing buying in materials at company’s expense he needed for private work then stealing them, building trade is fucking full of rogues which is can be a bit of a blessing as do a good job for a reasonable price and customer word of mouth will serve you will.
Trust no one, In 10+ years working for myself Can count on one hand I’ve left someone unsupervised on a job and almost every time I have I’ve had to go back and put it right, one was a fencing job it fell down within a year and when I went back to fix it he had barely a half shovel full of concrete on each post, people mostly just want to do minimal work needed to make a wage these days

Take a jumbo dump square on your boss’ engine block.

Throw a giant ham into the far back reaches of a closet rarely used.

Brought an extra pair of clothes(shirt,pants, underwear,socks, shoes) and stacked them in proper order on the ground and went out the back door and never showed up again.

They either think
A.rapture
B.aliens
C.im somewhere in the building naked for the past 6 months

They've called me 3 times and I never answered and they called my wife and she said she hasn't seen me

Yup, 2 weeks. A lot of technology companies will just tell you to leave the same day anyway.

Just don't show up.


...helps to have a new job lined up first.


.................... Also helps to have multiple (like 3) streams of income as well, and keep your monthly expenses low enough to be covered by just 1 of those income streams.

In my field (Technology, Networking, InfoSec), I would always leave on good terms/politely.

So many times, our company was bought/sold, and you end up working for or with the same people (who have left) many times over.
I see it all the time. Ive been here 18 years and wont leave until I'm done in this field, or they ask me to, so i don't worry about it.

I only plan on 9 more years and getting out at (OLD) age 60...

Good info once again lol.
But why do employers allow their workers to do private jobs? some guys work another 25 hours a week ffs. After 45 y/o they are not able to work anymore because of bad back, terrible hernia etc.

It’s like that in most industries. Employers don’t want anybody hanging around who has nothing to lose.
