Today, I gave my boss 2 weeks notice for me leaving work, as I had received a better job offer with twice the pay. I thought he took it well until I heard him mutter under his breath, "About fucking time." FML

Today, I resigned from my job in favor of a higher-paying one. After I filled out and filed the necessary papers, my boss told me that I had been nominated to replace him when he retired in a month. His job pays at least twice what I'm now making. Thanks for telling me, asshat. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

Today, I put in my two-week notice. My boss responded by saying, "Okie dokie" and hanging up. Guess they were glad to be rid of me. FML

Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML

Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML

Today, I saw my boss, so I mentioned to him, "Oh, I quit." He then interrupted, saying, "Great, I was going to fire you this week anyway." I wanted to tell him I quit smoking. FML

Hello, Goodbye

Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML

Work sucks, I know

By BadKitty42 - 14/12/2009 08:12 - United States

Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML

About ******* time you realize you're qualified for a better job and more money. Took you long enough, OP.

Don't feel bad! You're getting a better job, better pay AND leaving behind a grumpy boss. It's a win-win-win situation.

Don't worry OP, eventually you'll find a better job and better boss who isn't a dick hole.

OP found a better job. But the boss is an unknown quantity at this juncture.

But how do we know that the OP wasn't a terrible worker with an awful attitude? The entire time they were working there could have just been one big FML for the boss. You never know...

Win-win, seems to me.

I think this is a win for you, OP. **** that guy, and never use him as a reference. Dickholes don't deserve to be referenced.

And that's when you say "okay then, I retract my 2 weeks. I'm leaving now" and walk out the door. Provided you're not worried about burning that bridge.

I don't see the problem. Your boss doesn't like you and is happy you're leaving. Who cares? You found a better job where you'll hopefully be more appreciated.

Bad bosses don't last. When the turnover rate is too high, out the door they go. Frankly, I think you've already wasted too much time on the guy. After you have been working your new job for about a month that guy will be a bad memory. Hopefully not a memory at all.
