So, anybody ready to quit their jobs yet? Forum

[NewtonCampusKid]

I've been ready to leave for a long time. Just patiently waiting for the next redweld cut to put me on the disabled list.

[missv463]

already told my team, practice leader, and HR that my last day is July 10th.... the countdown begins!

[BBoy_TigerStyle]

I love this thread! My last day is July 31st. I'll be moving into my best friend's living room and hibernating/reading until August 23rd.

Oh, and yes, in case you were wondering, my job sucks whale phallus (although it pays well...).

[cmaho9qy]

Is it just me, or do coworkers get exponentially more obnoxious with the approaching last day of work?

[hoffb86]

I'm so ready - now I have to work this weekend! It is supposed to be gorgeous outside! grrrr....

Me too!! 44 more days (including today)!!!

I anticipate that once co-workers are informed, I will experience some backlash / jealousy ... I really cannot make the announcement until the last possible day.

[rvill7]

Everyone in my office knows I'm leaving. They are all extremely cool, so I anticipate sadness as the day approaches.

Yes. And I still have til the end of July. Ugh.

anybody worried about getting fired early once the boss knows about law school?

[leron]

1, they'd have to have a case to fire you.

2, there is probably some administrative burden the cost of which overweighs the savings gained from firing you a month or two out from you quitting.

(i'm in this same position and milking it like crazy)

Agreed. If they knew that of my intentions to attend law school in the fall, it would actually be more expensive for them to fire me than it would be for me to sit in the office with my feet on the desk for two months.

I hear you... but Georgia is an at-will employment state, so they can fire me for anything. I think that they would be pissed if they find out (like I was lying to them or something).

[penni_rose]

Yeah, I just checked my employment contract. It's at will. They can fire me the second they hear, thus, I'm not telling until I'm ready to leave. Of course, if they checked my internet history, they would already know.

As much as my actual job sucks, my bosses/co-workers are probably among the nicest people on the planet. They love me too much too fire me, so whenever I'm being particularly useless/bitchy they're just like "Oh, you're so silly, IHeart!" I've pretty much got a free pass for the next few months to say and do whatever I want. In that sense at least I'm extremely lucky.

[nowwhat]

My bosses are the ones who wrote my letters for me. I guess they could have fired me back in December if it were that big of a deal to them.

I've always been one of the top producers on my team so I just cut it down to the minimum amount that I think I can get away with. Which is still probably more than what most of my co-workers do.

Anyone else trying to use all their sick time before they leave? lol.

Which states aren't at will?

I also have at-will employment, but as a part of my contract, so long as I am not fired for "misconduct," I am entitled to 4 months of severance pay.

Haha if they checked my internet history I would be SOL & maybe imprisoned, or at least sued for "time theft".

[worldtraveler]

And I'm done.


Ahhh.........................................................................

Same here!

Which makes feel bad in the times that I'm fuming angry because I'm so anxious to leave .

congrats, I am beyond jealous...

[Spaceman_Stiff]

I officially told my boss today. He was very nice about it... I'm not sure about this business (I sell used lawyers.) but everybody I worked with was great, especially my boss.

My last day is July 20th, and the realization that I'M LEAVING has certainly hit home.
