My current manager is someone I've known for over 20 years, I used to help him when he was in the field and I was in corporate, needless to say I would call him and ask him whats up? And tell him I P'offd a client with some very strong language and I was turning in my resignation, then I would wait for a response. Then I'd say NOT! I gotta take off some time, by the way how much do you owe on that house?...................... I also would give two weeks. It is only reasonable to say good bye to... [ More ]

I know jobs are scarce at times but if I had a bad boss who jumped and rode me I would not need the lottery to quit.

The only notice that boss would get is a knuckle sandwich.

Just prior to claiming the winning ticket, I would have a private chat with the owner of the company and ask him what he would do if he were in my shoes.

I have to say that I have never really given this topic much thought since I started working where I am now. At the last job, I had so many different ways to quit that I couldn't decide what I wanted to do.

With this boss, I have to say that I like the people and the job that I do here and the boss too. I would have to think long and hard about how I wanted to leave. Since I am a supervisor I also have to think of the morale of the rest of the crew on the shift.

Well being I am self-employed doing what I love to do, I would simply use the funds to open more avenues of opportunity and work less. However in the past when I worked as a wage-slave, I would have bought the company and fired the boss. That is the really bad boss, and teach them a thing or two about karma. What goes around comes around.

I've been in my job for 19 1/2 years and while I still love the work I do and my immediate colleagues, the company has not improved during that time - if a corporation can be nutz this one sure is. After that length of time I would not quit but I would retire ....

I have worked at a job with absolutely unbearable bosses. Low down dirty and unbearable, but I suffered through them and still got my promotions (Over-worked and underpaid of course). On those jobs, the bosses prided themselves on harassing us because they thought we would put up with the insults because of the good benefits and pay. I would orchestrate an April Fool's Day Party:

I would start the same type company and be the new competition unbeknowst to my company. It would be up and runni... [ More ]

There are some great ideas here.

My job is a dead-end job with no chance for advancement and little chance of even a raise. I make next to nothing. I'm so over-qualified it's laughable. My boss loves me; but the owner of the business is a micromanager, a skinflint and an abuser of his employees. Thank goodness that in the eight months I've worked here, I have yet to meet him; may that pleasure be prolonged indefinitely.

I would love to make an unforgettable exit, something they would talk... [ More ]

If the jackpot was small and I could avoid publicity. I would throw a small party for some friends, anyone who likes mexican food and tequila!, at my fayorite mexican food place/bar. Then I would finish the week if I won on a Wed. If I won on a Sat. I would call in sick Monday and never retern. I generally like my job, but not my boss, so I might go in after calling in sick ie:RICH for ONE day. Just knowing I would get fired because I've never been fired.

One more note : Not only leave work as a CLASS ACT but also with your new found wealth :

1. Be wise - invest for the future

2. Family and Friends - help , keep close , love and keep dear in and active in your life !

3. Pay it Forward

4. The Bucket List

5. Have fun but don't forget how it was before your new found wealth came to you

More thoughts to this subject : take a even bigger and classier act --- invite all your coworkers regardles of pass work relations ( people are or seems differnt out of the work place -- office politics BS ) out for supper and leave a very good and lasting empression on them about you !

I actually like my bosses a lot! Since they got rid of the old Director, its been very nice and peaceful at work..lol.. Winning the Powerball would make it impossible for me to keep my job though because working with 100+ employees......98women and 2 men....women in the hospital are very catty! so no I would give 2weeks notice and leave.

Extreme foods or something like that. On one of the cable channels.

You could bring in a seabass and cut it up at your desk like in the movie Office Space ..that would stink up the place nicely. ...

And when your ready to go for the day, and your boss asks where your going, you can tell him/her that your going home for the rest of the day to take a nap.

That would be so sweet.

I would take it as a great opportunity to try and get fired. nothing malicious, just a whole bunch of ridiculous actions and such. It would be fun to see how much you could get away with. start small with like really smelly elaborate lunches in the workplace, and then build up to... i dunno ... wearing scuba gear to work.....to who knows...

oh the smug satisfaction would be great. Plus it'd give your coworkers great stories for the rest of their days at that job.

TBH, we'd both give a two weeks notice, but it would be the hardest and longest two weeks ever. Knowing at the end of it is wealth, comfort and most of all security. How nice would that be?

Why even bother going through all that ?!? You shouldn't feel obligated to stay because of perhaps any guilty feelings you may have leaving early. If they were to let you go, they don't give you any notice and thats your last day. Remember, your rich now and I'd use those 2 weeks and go on vacation! I would just say to my boss... today will be my last day due to personal reasons and that would be it. Or you could do it a different way and say you need to take a leave of absence, and just never r... [ More ]
