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? ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

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. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

| 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. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

The way you are suposed to do this is as follows. Hand in your 2 weeks notice, in writen form. 1 copy for your boss, and one for the hr department. Request an exit interview with the HR department. You now get to voice your complaints at the exit interview. The exit interview is the great pay back for leaving a horrible situation, as the HR department will have a conversation with your boss's boss about why he is losing his people. ------------- CaffineAddict Team OMHW Seattle Wa.

And Skillet continues to point out his total lack of intelligence. Brilliant. You continue to fail.

Oh, what a good point, because intelligence is directly linked to typing ability.
Get over the fact that you're immature, and either mature or admit it. You don't seem to be prepared to accept either of those options. I'm so glad I'm not stuck at your level. |

Actually, your ability to spell properly is linked to intelligence... Anyway, you obviously don't get it. Looks like the joke is way too over your head, which doesn't surprise me at all. Quit being such a bleeding heart and just have some fun. This is the internet. -------------

go in really early the day you want to quit. take a power screw driver a box of screws, a couple dozen bottles of instant dry krazy glue and a dozen 6 inch nails + a hammer and two 2 by 4's. first take all the stuff on his desk. his lamp his notes all the papers pencils pens cup of coffee...... all that stuff.... and krazy glue it to the desk. once that dries take the two by fours and securely fasten them to the bottom of his desk legs. then get some of your friends and have them hold the desk to the ceiling. then take your nails and hammer 6 nails into each two by four until the desk and all of its accessories are sucure on the cieling. leave his chair in the middle of his office with your note explaining everything and that you have found a better job and moved on with life. change your phone numbers email and mailing address and you are set. |

this made me laugh the most... my company has about 20 people total. the owners wife is the HR department and she goes out of her way to be a dog to me. i have decided the 13th im closing on my house. im going to call in sick that day and show up to work about 20 mins early the next day or swing by while 2nd shift is there to get my box. i have already been warned not to use him as a reference EVER. as he is a total ass. that and the past few months have gone like this. -me asking for raise (him laughing) -me asking for reference (him saying no) -letter from the navy showing up the NEXT DAY (i told them not to contact him) -me being stuck out in the trailer for 2 days and verbal abuse -me getting injured on the job -more verbal abuse. i REALLY REALLY want to toss a big costco sized bottle of Dawn in one of the CNC machines... picture a $1,000,000 machine the size of a surburban filled with soap suds. but i think i could get sued for that and i dont have the guts. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Merc... need more details.
Job you have lined up... when would it start, and are you sure you have it? This is a Fed (Navy) job correct? Is there not an HR office you can go to? Or a higher up, above your boss? Basically... rather than complain to your boss, can you go above his head? DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. If this is rampant throughout your department and others are just as discouraged, have them document everything as well. If you are punished with less hours, for filing a complaint, that's bad juju on your boss and anyone who goes along with it. But can't do anything about it unless it's documented. However... if you are leaving anyway, don't bother with any of the above. As for being "fired" upon giving your two weeks... don't let that happen. When you're ready to leave, submit your resignation... not to your boss, to HR. If you are asked to leave before two weeks... fine! But ensure that you RESIGNED from your position... and that nothing is noted about you being removed/fired/dismissed in any way! If this means two weeks of unemployment between jobs... be sure you're financially sound, just enough to scrape by for those two weeks. Funny suggestions listed above for things to do... for your sake, I wouldn't bother with any. I wouldn't even curse your boss out before you leave. Just leave. Unfortunately, you'll need to submit his name on future resumés. It would be more harmful for you if you did anything to irk the guy, despite him being a rectum cavity. Even if he asks why you're leaving... your answer should simply be "something else came along" or some other vague nonsense. Good luck. Hope the new job puts you in a better spot. |

Leave a bunch of tools on the CNC(plasma, if you have it) while someone else is using the machine. If you have a good enough machine you could at least really mar up some ratchets or something. Or set up a CNC lathe to drive into the chuck.

Put a bit into a mill, weld it all in so you can't remove it. Then dive the bit into a machining vice, weld to the vice, as well as welding the vice shut or open.
