Rob Navin Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Well It's my last week at work with my current employer hence the extra time available to sit on the board room. It go me thinking that with all the different professions on here someone must have decided to burn their bridges and do something as a parting gift. Feel free to change your name and employee if you need to. Quote

westy Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 during a spate of redunancies a friend and his then collegue sent printjobs to every printer in the building of ak47's for sale second hand around the world. Apparently the managers were on edge for a while A few contracts ago I wrote some software for my own testing which the company decided to use for 6 months. I wasnt happy about this so in its last revision I made it query the company timeserver and 3 months after my contract end date it would fail to load with a fake DLL error message Quote

david.c Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 About 5 years ago I was doing a site survey on a cement plant, when the person who had been assigned to assist me, was called to the bosses office. As he left he jokingly said 'probably just needs to sack me' When he returned 5 minutes later that is precisely what had happened. He packed his stuff and put it in his truck, gathered up all the paperwork from his desk and filing cabinets and put them in the big skip bin, then for his finale, phoned the guy who just sacked him and left a few minutes of four lettered abuse on his voicemail and left with a very contented look.

the bear Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I once quit by fax. It was sent to my new boss via his hotel while he was on holiday in Mauritus (spelling?). It was day 2 of a three week holiday and I had to give a months notice. I had that day received confirmation that he had just purchased the business. The fax told him in no uncertain terms what I thought of him and suggested he could place the job and the company where the sun dont shine. It was perfect knowing that he knew I was in complete control of the firm while he was away and could do anything. He phoned every day just to make sure I hadnt p******** off any customers. When he came back he paid me for the last week of my notice and told me not to come in whcih allowed me to start my new job (one I didnt have three weeks earlier). I got paid twice for that week but the best bit was that two weeks later he had to call my new company and pay them for 2 weeks consultancy for me to go in and train my replacement. Oh what joy!!!!

cidersurfer Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Head butted my Project Director, then gave in my notice... Didn't have to work my notice period! My current boss was in the next office at the time and we get on really well! Funny old game construction... Quote
