Default For those who quit their jobs...

What did you tell your employer? That you were quitting to play poker? or something else?

In the corporate world you often get reviewed for your performance. The meetings are uncomfortable affairs where your manager goes down a checklist of things that 'could use improvement'.

On Quit Your Job Day, you'll be calling a review meeting of your own. Create a list of things the company needs improvement in. Watch your manager squirm as you point out bad health benefits, impenetrable paperwork, inhuman working environments and other OSHA related problems. At the end of your review look your manager straight in the eye and ask 'What would you do if you were me?', pause and then announce 'I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go.'

I don't like to burn bridges.

Id tell my managers I'm going on to make more money.
Id tell them that their bosses should increase their budget so they can retain people. This way it doesn't reflect badly on the manager and may even do him some good (he'll get more funding as a result of the exit interview.)

You're quiting to "pursue other opportunites." If they press you on details tell them you're taking up pottery or glass blowing or something like that.

just tell them what you're really going to be doing. If they laugh at you, then so be it. At least you're the one who has the cajones to do what you want to do, not them.

but if you are going to be burning bridges, wear an army helmet to your exit interview and scream into your cellphone for "MORE NAPALM!!! BRING THE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNN"
