I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

We've all worked for oneA previous boss was one of those self obsessed salesmen turned MD types in a dotcom office. I hated him and he looked down his nose at me.
After months of doing not a lot I interviewed and got a better job offer. So I wrote out a nice letter explaining politely that I wished to quit.
Instead of reading it he just folded it in half and tucked it in his back pocket... then said "So why do you want to leave?"
I don't how it happened, my mouth just opened and without thinking I said:
"Well... I have no faith in the company or in you as it's manager. I'm certain it's going to go bust as you've not given me any client work for months and it doesn't take a genious to know you can't pay us for much longer so I'm off!".
He called a general allstaff meeting the next day from which I was excluded and I had to leave that afternoon. He didn't pay me my notice period either until I got citizens advice involved and forced it from his slimy little hand.

That MD twuntWe've ended up having an ongoing feudal dislike of one another for many years since. I've done work for some of his clients and he's tried to sue me for it, claiming breach of contract. Until I pointed out the contract had a no contact clause for 6 months (it had been 4 years) and the company on the contract had gone bust.
He's also accused me of stealing to my girlfriend to impress her mate. She told me, I phoned the other director who subsequently banned him from speaking to my girlfriend and her mates ever again as he was "making a tit of himself and the company in public".
Winding him up has become an ongoing hobby for me but I now live 200 miles away... so lack the enthusiasm as I won't hear of his responce.
