so my boss has been a total jerk. disrespects his employees and if you try and say anything about it he will do things like cut your hours or put you out in a trailer on a hot day (120F*)

i have a job lined up already and if i put in 2 weeks notice i will be fired on the spot.

i have thought about just taking my box home one day before he comes in (he shows up about 15 mins after everyone else)

i cant do anything that will bring legal consequences upon my self.

ideas?

Take everything that's yours, collect paycheck, and don't come back.

Complain to the higher ups  and then file for wrongful termination when you get fired.

Just quit normally. No use in ruining any standing you have with a former employer, in case future employers call.

Burrrrrrrrrrrrn bridges! 

Or just tell him how it is, how he is a total jackass, and then leave on the spot (usually even funnier when it is going to be a VERY busy day :D)

...that is what I did when I quit my first job when the new owner of the store cut my pay/hours for no reason (and claimed I was stealing from the store...), quit right on the spot on one of the busiest Fridays ever.  I heard from my former co-workers that he was screaming at everyone to get stuff done fast enough lol...a month or two later everyone else quit.

Just quit. Unless you just don't want to use him as a reference ever, then you could do something ugly. The most you can really do is screw him over for a day by quiting when he needs you.

do you have any vacation time coming up? If so, put in for it so you don't lose it (most states don't make employers pay their employees for lost vacation time due to termination or quitting) when you vacation is done, tell them you quit.

Just silently and suddenly sever ties....immediately after spiking the coffee supply with equine laxatives.

To quit, do Tallen's idea of the vacation time and quit right after.

To get fired, just enjoy yourself.
