This is a question 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?

a scapegoat is born
i was in a job last year that became increasingly shit. They let a lot of good people go and were burning the rest badly. We had an industry qualification that routinely everyone conferred/copied/cribbed/colluded on - this was encouraged by the company to save study time.

An eagle-eyed examiner spotted our departments submissions were a bit samey. We were all called in one by one.

I said it was down to me took the rap and resigned on the spot on the premise the others be reinstated and I get paid garden leave. I even got to take the moral highground saying it was the only honourable option left to me. So a scapegoat was born.

I opted not to tell them i had been headhunted by another company on a 10k rise and was about to resign that week anyway - where i would have been expected to work my notice.

Hehe
