I'm about to tell my boss I'm quitting my job ...
 

... in 4 minutes exactly.

Keep your fingers crossed so that he does not eat me.

are you smothered in a rich west country sauce?

hooya baby...

maybe he'll double your salary.

Oh, this is a delicious moment. I remember when I told my boss I was leaving last year. There are few moments in life that feel so liberating, especially if your boss isn't expecting it.

what? I thought you started liking your job better recently... oh, maybe you're trying the modeling carreer after that magazine cover :D :P!
jokes aside, fingers crossed.

especially if it's the poorhouse :(

Just actually do it and don't pansy out.

Not saying that you would, but I've been known to.

i *think* he did, because this was a while ago, and he hasn't posted back, so he might have been eaten after all.

This thread has gone in quite an interesting direction since I logged out as I see.

Nevertheless, I'm still alive, I've told my boss what I was about to tell him (that I have a much better offer by the competition) and that he should do something about it. He told me he would make a counter-offer by Wednesday. I'll wait and see.

I got things moving though. Which is a great thing.

Ad nicfit (see, no capital letters here! I'm learning stuff, man!) - yes, I like my job, but I no way like my client (that takes up about 95 percent of my time), and, what is even worse, I don't like my boss and the ways he gets things done.

did your request for a counter offer include the company firing your client and your boss quitting his job???

One of my wife's former co-workers once quit by bringing in a cake with "I QUIT" spelled out in the icing.

"Hey, everybody! I brought cake!"

That's what I am going to do.

I guess by fringing that client we could also bury the whole company along with its 45 employees :D

awesome!!

why are you quitting?

LOL Mekon avatar. well. almost.

I'm fed up with the fucker and I've got a better place to go.

hot damn. there's no possible counter offer he could make you then... make sure he doesn't realize you're toying with his feelings. good idea to leave in good terms anyway, and best wishes with your new job.

Yes, that sounds reasonable. Thank you.

awesome. but you're waiting for another offer? if your job sucks, no amount of money is going to make it better, you'll be happier somewhere else!

but good luck!!
