On your last day at work!

[lv_sinnerz]

How would you go down if you were allowed to do ANYTHING you wanted to on your last day at work, and I mean ANYTHING!?


I work at a call center with nothing but stupid people who I think have nothing better to do with their time than to call up and just complain. Just complain. So on my last day, I'll do just exactly that to the customers, complain to them. "You know, you aren't really worth my time, and quite frankly, this is my last day here, and I don't get paid enough to listen to you gripe, so let's just see what you have here!" Long pause...... "oooops... I think I just clicked on the wrong button! Oh well, I guess you'll need to call our sales desk and get a new account!" <click!>

That'd be me! I'll do ya one better though and do it when I'm drunk, medicated (on Tylenol w/ Codeine #3) and with added swearing and cussing!

I'm gonna be working for the next sixty years or so, so I'll probably be too tired to do anything.

[emmitt69]

This is not fair!!! I'm in the military, it'd be brig time for me no matter what I did!

[clawhammer]

I wouldn't do something stupid like that. You would want your boss to give a good word to your next employer

[Schister66]

I would be polite because i hate people who are assholes so why would i be one? Plus if you're a prick then you can't have that job as a reference.

I can tell you what I did my last day at my last job.

Once upon-a-time there was me. I had a job at a pet store with some very good looking girls that I became very good friends with . One night this girl (I'll call her K) comes in later than she was scheduled for because she thought she was scheduled to come in when she said she was available (after cheerleading practice). My boss decides to fire her over the phone (he called from his house to the store). K put the phone on speaker so we could all hear our boss screaming at her and calling her a lazy bitch, but she kept her cool and just hung up and left...this upset me and this girl's sister (why don't we call her T) who also works there and who(m) is one of my best friends.

We decided that night would be our last night working there. The next day at school I called the Menards to see if I got the job I had interviewed for a couple days before and they told me pending a drug test I had the job. Well my friend came over to my house and my neighbor, best friend, and at that time co-worker came over between classes. Well T decides to call in and tell our asshole boss that she quit...he was pretty pissed that he didn't get 2 weeks notice from her. Well about 20 mins. later I called in and said I quit. Now he's lost 2 managers in less than 30 mins. so he's flipping out and told me to go fuck myself...So I hung up. Later that night he calls my house and talks to my mom My mom hates this guy like none other and my mom is as cold as an ex-wife. So I hear all this screaming and I come up from my room and ask WTF is going on...she hands me the phone and what do you know, my boss is on the phone. Here's how the conversation goes: Sidenote about this guy...he's a professional bullshitter and always always gets what he wants.

Boss: Andy I really need you back!
Me: Really?
Boss: You're the backbone of this store blah blah blah.
*at this point I put the phone on speaker and started playing GTA: SA*
Me: Really?
Boss: I need you to come back Andy!
Me: I'm not coming back!
Boss: Well why not?
Me: Because I found another job that pay twice as much with better hours that don't involve cleaning up dog shit...
Boss: I'll give you a raise and we can work with your hours.
Me: You didn't let me finish...I also didn't like the way you fired K
Boss: HEY! That's not fair! You only heard one side of that conversation!
Me: Really? Because she had it on speaker phone up at the cash register so that all the customers could hear!
Boss: *silence*
Me: Ya there?
Boss: Yes.
Me: Ok.
Boss: I'm gonna go now.
Me: You do that.

And I lived happily ever after...until my next adventure on the train going from Aurora to Chicago

I was so proud of myself to not resorting to just flipping out and cussing at this guy. I know that was long and pretty pointless but I figured I'd share.

That's great

Oh man, you have no idea what it's liek working at a call center. Usually these places are contracted, I'm contracted through HP, so after our employment is done, there are no references. SO pretty much, you work there, then after they never knew you.
So if i were to actually show up on my last day, I'd make sure I go to jail for what i do or my job wasn't done

You should live life like that...never leave anywhere without trying to get arrested. It'd sure be fun.

When I had my last job I didnt know my last day was my last day. So...nothing I guess.

[thegladhatter]

Depends on the job and why you are leaving. It is generally NOT a good idea to burn bridges unless you really need to.

tomorrow is my last day at my current job. i was hired as a seasonal employee and was told there was a chance i would get hired full time once the christmas season was over. so i busted my ass, sold $18 grand worth of stuff almost every day and worked my hardest to guarantee myself a spot.

what happened? i got passed up for the lazy-ass moronic fat slob who only got the job because he went to school with one of the full-time staff who "highly recommended" him.

so as of now, i'm weighing my options. go in tomorrow and show them how i really feel (which might happen considering the "wonderful" day i had today...long story), or just do my damn job, say a nice good-bye to everyone and have a reference for the future...

we'll see how i feel in the morning i guess. as sick as i am right now, i may not even go to work at all.

My manager was complete fucking idiot, and I told him he was a horrible manager before I left. My boss, however, is a great guy and has many connections, and serves as a great reference. It all depends on what you have at work. If you've got someone you know you'll never need to speak to again, then go for it with the expressing how you really feel, but if you've got a good reference and connections, don't burn your bridge down just yet.

[87lToronadol]

sounds like whoever recommended him was high :P

[Jimster]

I also really need all the good references I can get at the moment.



Running down the lines of cubicles naked or bitching some people out certainly won't help me.
