AND LOVING IT! :grinyes:
Actually, the thread title isn't entirely accurate. The firm i work for is 'restructuring' and is laying people off. I wasn't laid off, but offered two positions that are a joke, and an insult to my ability. Perfect. I smiled at my director and accepted, and promptly booked a three week holiday starting on Wednesday.This will allow me to study for a monster exam i have coming up in early June, and hopefully pass. The day i get back to the office, i flip 'em the bird and leave for a huge summer holiday :grinyes:
I'm thinking Montreal, followed by the South of France, followed by my friend's place in Spain. Whatever happens, it will be big :D
I was planning to leave my current employer in June anyway, i have an offer on the table from another firm (not ideal location, but great pay, almost 3x current salary) so this way i get paid for this whole month while sitting at home, and get to go on a fat holiday afterwards :D
... not to mention giving my boss a piece of my mind when i get back :loser:
Expect piss posts on the 4th of June onwards :D

I got laid off last October.
But then my boss quit too and hired me to design the logo of the new company he started. He paid me considerably more than I was making working for him at the store.

And anyway, the leave form is signed and in my possession. No going back now.
Now, for the speech i give him when i get back, the "you're losing out" speech. Any aspiring script writers want to give me any ideas? :D

I know it would be a great feeling to tell your boss off, but just a friendly reminder not to burn any bridges. These things seem to have a way to turn around and bite you in the ass later on. Your choice, but leaving quietly and professionally will never hurt you.

I told one of my ex-bosses that he was a great engineer but an awful boss!!! He had a fit, yelling and screaming and shit. :flipa: Then booted my ass out the door.
He accused me and several others (his M.O. to get rid of people !!) and told me to leave and return everything he gave me from his office. So I went home and got my safety equipment (hard hat, glasses, etc.) and returned that afternoon. I put the hard hat on his desk and spun it around (like the "spin the bottle" game). Then left with a HUGE ASS grin on my face and left him a nice little burnout in his parking lot !!!

And Yogs, point taken. I'm not going to swear at him or anything, just tell him he's made a mistake. God knows there's very little sense behind his decisions. He fired probably the smartest guy in the whole firm as well :screwy:

Quitting a job when your work isnt appreciated as much as it should be is great. Good luck with everything and enjoy your time off, and dont forget no matter what happens, even if he is begging trying to be really nice you are required to do a huge burnout or donuts in the parking lot when you leave. For added effect blaring Guns N Roses while your doing it makes it much more fun.

You can come to NY to have a few drinks too. Good luck getting me out of work or off the horse though. If you can get me off either we can have a good time. And the villiage is a HUGE gay community. Just not sure which one either west or east er Kate prolly knows that bout NYC more then I do. Only two places I've been to was ellis island(forced school trip) and south street seaport. I've been to china town too but nothing special there.

In all seriousness, NYC has way too many things going on, between Broadway, Chinatown, Little Italy, Flushing (Korea town), the museums, Tribeca etc etc. It truly is the city that never sleeps. BTW, Las Vegas stole our unofficial slogan. What happens here, stays here.
So Wicked, you really do have a horse. Any pics to share.
