Funny Question : How are you going to tell your boss that you quit and work as full-time IM? :)

Spark · 06-11-2009, 03:29 AM

As above?

Anyone can share their feeling upon giving them the letter?

Like 'Boss, i am going to fire you..

' , 'Boss here's my letter, see you in the *elite* country club there!' or anything that you say once you handle that letter to your boss and go for your dream?

Just curious

P.S: Did they raise their eyebrow when you mention working as 'full-time' IM?

Hey Spark,

You ready to tell him?

Try thanking him for doing a good job with you but his services are no longer needed with you as his employee.

(This will probably confuse the hell out of him)
Shake his hand and ask him if he would mind escorting you off of the premises!

Til Later

Spark · 06-11-2009, 03:36 AM

Yup, soon.

I need to go ahead to do it rather than thinking and dreaming abt it...all the best for me.

Reminds me of the Far Side comic, where the man is urinating on his boss' desk when his wife calls to tell him he read the lottery numbers wrong

igorhelpsyousucceed · 06-11-2009, 04:11 AM

Hey Spark,

I just told I was tired of this Bulls**t
and I quit. He was surprised and tried
to find out what's happening but I just went
away without turning back

I quit my job in 2002 to work on my Internet Marketing business full-time. That felt great! I really hated that corporate job, so I was really excited to give my boss my resignation letter.

Even though deep inside I did want to tell the boss to "kiss my ***", I handled it professionally. I just wrote a nice letter telling them I'm resigning in 2 weeks. I then showed up for those last 2 weeks doing a great job.

It's always best not to burn the bridges and leave on the good terms.

Excellent advice

I have an interesting story...

I just sent SMS to my boss "I quit from the job, can't continue any more"

And since then Enjoying free life, no regrets...

Way to Go !
What do I say - I can't sack my housework and baby !

Joseph Then · 06-11-2009, 08:34 AM

Just say: "I'm firing you!"

nick1123 · 06-11-2009, 08:46 AM

I also agree that it's best not to burn bridges.

Even if you hate your job is probably best to leave on good terms.

In the moment it may feel good to say some nasty things, but sometimes these actions have repercussions down the road.

Kay King · 06-11-2009, 08:50 AM

How you leave a job says more about you than about the job or the boss.

You can give notice, do the work well up to the last day you are there. You'll then be free of the job and known as "XXXX who used to work here". You can ask for a recommendation later if you need to find another job.

Or throw a tantrum, tell the boss how stupid he is and how the job sucks and stomp out. You'll be free of the job and be known as "that idiot". Burning bridges for a few minutes self gratification is silly to me.

Lindsay Brynn · 06-11-2009, 08:50 AM

I totally agree with Nick and Melanie about not burning bridges. It is just best to always treat people with the respect they deserve.

Just quit when you are ready and good luck.

I agree entirely, Kay and with the rest who have echoed this.

I gave a "nice" letter to my bosses and almost 20 years down the line (not solely in IM then or now!) I still get work and referrals from them!

Pays to be careful - not petty.

Richard N Adams · 06-11-2009, 08:58 AM

I think I was lucky. It was my boss who was very supportive and kept asking how things were going and eventually suggested that I went full time because I would make more online :-)

I'm assured it wasn't a tactful way to fire me ;-)

All the best,
Richard

TheGodfather · 06-11-2009, 09:04 AM

what I did was ( i worked in a cinema)

I went up to my boss in the hallway and I said that i don't wish to work here since I feel that it is stopping me to accomplish my life ling dream and that I have decided to work in an alternate type of business that is more suited to my needs and gives me the space that i need.

2 weeks later after I quit they called me if I can come to work, they taught that I wouldn't make it and that I'll come back (I was always complimented on my work there), but I didn't... but the good thing is that i left on good terms with them... now I have found another part time job that i managed to get since i had my last job as a reference...

Although I didn't make it trough yet I'm still not giving up on my dream...

R Hagel · 06-11-2009, 09:19 AM

I know you're looking for something funny, but I have to add to the chorus of those who said to be respectful, put in your two week's notice and not burn bridges.

(The you below refers to the general you and not the OP)...

For one, as Kay said, it's just silly to tell someone to "shove it" or whatever (especially when you chose to work there in the first place -- the boss didn't have to hire you, and you didn't have to stay).

Two, you may want to offer IM services to this person in the future -- or to people he/she knows. So it's a good idea to leave that door open.

Three, put yourself in the boss' shoes (because now YOU are the boss of your own company). Think about how you'd like to be treated when someone quits. Then extend that same courtesy to your current boss.

Cheers,
Becky

Shannon Herod · 06-11-2009, 11:33 AM

I was in outside sales and my boss called me up with an issue and started cursing at me. I told him no one talks to me like that and I didn't even need this job. He smirked and said "oh, you don't need this job?"

I said that is right, I quit! Hey thought I was joking. I guess the joke was on him :-)

Shannon

PS- I actually needed the job at the time. My wife had epilepsy and I could not get her on a private policy. That was why I was still working. But, by the grace of God my wife has been healed of the epilepsy and all is great!

benne13 · 06-11-2009, 11:39 AM

Although it may be nice to just walk out, why would anyone want to burn a bridge with a former employer / boss? The contacts you created at work can also help your new business as your former boss or coworkers can help bring more business to you by telling others about your business venture. I always look at each job situation as a chance to network and build new business ventures..

Spark · 06-11-2009, 12:07 PM

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your great advice, yup actually i was thinking of asking for his help since he have quite alot of connections here and there...haha Anyway guys, i will of cause say in a polite way since they don't really do nasty things to me.

yup, i was just thinking how did you guys tell the boss abt quitting the job? Just curious.

jjbalagosa · 06-11-2009, 01:05 PM

I don't totally agree with the mantra about "not burning bridges."

The biggest motivator for being my own boss is NOT having to work with people I don't like. So I have no problem with burning bridges with people who aren't nice, professional, or just downright mean. Regardless of repercussions. You just can't put a price on that kind of satisfaction!

This is the golden rule, "Do unto others, as they do unto you."

I've been lucky enough to have a boss that's also one of the coolest people I know. So I'll probably end up buying him a bottle of scotch and/or lunch when it's my time to leave my J-O-B.

But if your boss is a jerk, feel free to use this template:

*********************************************
Dear Boss,

This job sucks and I wanted to quit a long time ago, but I was ________.

(choose most appropriate)
A. too busy trying to find a way to sleep with your daughter.
B. not finished funneling money out of the corporate pension fund.
C. too preoccupied with posting your credit card number all over the internet.

But now that's finished, I would like to say good day to you! It's been a blast.

Sincerely,

(insert your name here)

PS
I've been peeing in your coffee every morning for the past week. Enjoy!
