I quit my job today (some gross stuff, also LONG)

[SengaKitty]

In the not-too-distant future, may your now ex-boss find himself having to pick up such delightful specimens WITH HIS TONGUE.

Good luck in Texas!

Oh I've wished many worse things on him than that, such as cleaning out the bathroom trash cans with his tongue after some of the things we've found in there. Yeah, don't ask.

Thank you! As I've said, Texas is only a brief sojourn until my entrance into the Army, though I will obviously be heading *back* to Texas after basic training for my AIT

Good for you on quitting that job and heading to the army! No way would I touch anything like that without gloves.

Wow. Just wow. I cannot imagine working in those situations. Wow.

Have an amazing time in Texas, Red. If my theory of universal balance is correct, all the shit you wen through the past two months will equal amazing things in Texas.

And I do hope something truly... unfortunate happens to "Jethro". Like him falling into the garbage can ^-^

[SengaKitty]

I would wish that he would go out of business (his excuse for cutting my hours so much was that I couldn't run lottery and sales were slow so he couldn't justify having me there), except that my friends who work there depend on that place as their only income. Also, he has a wife and kids. I don't wish ill on people who don't deserve it. Seeing as I do not know his wife and children, I can't wish ill on them.

[Seshat]

Wish that the other staff - the ones who need the place to feed their families - end up finding better jobs, and Jethro has to run the place single-handed.

[SengaKitty]

Exactly! I couldn't agree more, to be honest. I'm glad I got out when I did, or I might have been stuck there for years.

Back when I worked in a bookstore, all of us quit within a few days of each other (stupid corporate policy drove us to do so.)

One of my coworkers wrote a lovely eff-you letter....I wish I still had it. Something about draconian regimes and no thought or care for employees nor the customers...he was the first to go.

A few months after that, the store was completely restaffed. I laughed at the new AM.....it was the letter writter. Not only did they take him back, but promoted him

Good luck and I'm glad you are out of there!

A friend of mine just finished AIT and has been in Germany for a few weeks. He's deploying sometime late November/early December, and he's also a medic.

*Name changed to protect the not so innocent

But... But... I don't need protection. Prayers, but not protection. (working on posting a thread...)

[SengaKitty]

LOL NSI. Will be reading your thread, but that's kind of amusing

[Mad-Bassist]

I've had my share of bosses that made me wonder how they got their jobs (and keep them,) but that's unreal!

That was a very well-written resignation letter, and hopefully it taught him something, but I suspect he's the kind of person who only learns by way of the police, court system, and Big Bubba.

I wish you luck in your new life in the Navy. It sounds like you're going to have many more stories to tell in the future—good stories!

[RestaurantDude]

That letter was EXCELLENT! Your old boss sounds like a major douchecandle. Good on you for quitting in such an epic fashion.
