How to quit your job? Variances invited

I think this thread is a lot less interesting than you had hoped, huh, JDPOWER&ASSOCIATES? Did you really want people to regurgitate, "Quitting Your Job For Dummies?"

You are dead right. I know to not burn bridges, I am not a kid, I know i want to pull a Half Baked, but it wouldnt be wise.

Did you see my telling my boss off story? That was fun.

When I was in my early 20's and hadn't quite learned to control my temper, I worked for the most dreadful doctor. He looked like Mr. Woodman from Welcome Back Kotter, only Woodman was kind of yellow, Burrell was white and pasty. He had was mean and generally did not like people. He would milk the insurance by bringing people back every month for a blood test and EKG whether they needed it or not. And one time he decided, after finding some HUGE bore needles that the doctor he bought the practice from had left behind, that he would start making extra money by doing taps. Seriously! Next patient that comes in, this fool wants to stick a needle in his knee. I whispered in his ear to get a second opinion. ANYWAY...One day we were super busy and were running patients through there at a crazy clip. I had a woman in for a pelvic exam and got her set up. I didn't realize he hadn't talked to her yet. He came in and started screaming at me because she was a new patient and he said that wasn't the part he wanted to meet first. Point taken. But when he called me a stupid b#*%h I was getting to the end of my patience. He also dispensed meds. I would prefill prescription bottles with the ones we dispensed most so I just had to label them when we used them. I walked into his office with 20 bottles of enteric coated aminophyllin in my arms 100 pills in each bottle. No child proof cap. He started in on me again and I just started chucking bottles at him and screaming right back. They were hitting the cabinet behind him and the lids were popping off and aminophyllin was bouncing all over the tile floor. He started yelling that I was fired and I told him I wasn't fired , I quit you A-hole! Three months later he begged me to come back because I was very good at my job. I agreed...for a price. I worked for him for another year, then decided it just wasn't even worth the money. I got a job at the hospital on a Thursday, started on Friday on the night shift. He came into the ICU the following monday morning at the end of my shift and saw me sitting at the monitors and said, "Does this mean you aren't coming in today?" I said, "You got it."
I quit the same guy twice. With Style.

So my boss's lunch with me was nothing but to vent his frustrations and talk about how he knew I was going to leave and how F'd up it is there and he went so far as to point out all the issues that they have. I was very business like and my response was "the environment is not conducive to growth"

Well I put my notice in today. It felt so good. Don't know if the owner knows or not but my Manager does and he came to me and asked me to go take a personal lunch with him. I can tell he is very frustrated by the environment but it could also be a test to see wtf I am doing and or check thru my **** while im gone.

I know that is very un business like but I do not pass anything up with these people, I could write a laundry list of things that they have done incorrectly. I so badly want to tell the owner what I found wrong and that someone should call the labor board on him but I know the way him and his sister act, that if for some reason someone would call for a referral on me here they would bad mouth me to death even though it's against the law.

Please share your quitting experiences and how you would like to leave a past or present employer.

Do it!

You are such a big boy now. *pats head*

Seriously, that dude just wanted to finally be able to b#%^* and moan freely. You should send him a bill for that therapy session.
