Today, I gave my boss two 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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." 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 handed in my 2 weeks notice, since I have to leave for college soon. My boss told me it was fine, then cut all my remaining shifts. FML
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
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
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.

Sounds like he took it even better than you thought!

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.
