‘What was your final "F you" to a boss you didn’t like?’ Satisfying Times People Quit Their Jobs

Anyone who's ever had to suffer through a job that they hated knows what it's like to fantasize about quitting. While some merely rehearse the scenario over and over again in their minds just to get through the day, others manifest those dreams into reality, giving their terrible boss the ultimate "F you" on the way out. Someone recently asked the people of r/AskReddit to share their final "f*** you"s to bosses they always despised, and the answers did not disappoint.

    Font - likn16. 4d 1 Award I was thinking about quitting but has holding back. I scheduled a vacation with 3 extra days. It was a once in a lifetime type of trip. He rejected my vacation request. I thought about it for a couple of hours. Went to his office and told him 'I'm taking the trip no matter what.' The next morning the boss met me at hr and gave me a formal written warning. I responded by giving him my 2 week notice. They apologized and tried to convince me not to leave but it was too lat

    "rofl... 'Here is your written warning' Here is YOUR written warning. Except it's not a warning, it's a fuck you. I quit" said u/Black_Moons.

    "Well let's not get crazy now!" replied u/Im-a-cat-in-a-box.

    Font - ijustcomment • 4d 1 Award My boss and I had butted heads a few times after she took over the office. After finding a much better job I handed her a list of my job responsibilities, which she asked for because she didn't understand what I did there. "This is too much, we'd have to distribute all this to like 4 different people" and I said "yea" and walked out. Spoiler: she didn't do any of that and was fired less than a year later as the office was falling apart. Reply 13.3k ...

    "That shit always pissed me off. I had a manager basically the same way. I was doing the work of 3+ people. I constantly said we needed relief. Juniors even to take the easier loads off or something. Nothing. Then I found I was being paid less than new hires with no experience after multiple years of this shit. So, one day - I got an offer for almost double my salary. Basically going from $65k to $130k. 'We can't match that' So I left and chaos unfolded…" said u/red_dawn.

    Font - GreedolnASpeedo • 4d Working retail I quit at the register on Black Friday. I had recently gotten another full-time job and was keeping this retail gig because I liked the employee discount and due to my other job this check was pure fun money, all that is to say I didn't need the retail job. My store manager comes over at hour 7 of my shift, with chaos and a line 100 people long, and has the nerve to tell me my up-sales(fishing for promo signups, i.e. rewards, credit cards etc) weren't c

    "I worked a register job at a bulk store for a while, and they had the same issue with me. I hated giving that dumb little spiel to each person in line. It felt scummy to me, and I didn't like that I felt like I was forcing something onto the customer that they didn't want. I even got yelled at by customers for it a couple times." said u/Zahille7.

    Font - garlicroasted potato • 4d As far as my life goes it was the shittiest job I ever took. Long hours, a lot of crunch, no company vehicle and a lot of travel. Every time I'd go to a different site I would get like 20 different phone numbers for the various people I was communicating with. Anyway so all of the contacts. for these people was on my company phone that was synched up to my personal GMail (which stored all the phone numbers). At some point management decided my job was redundant a

    "Same. We were all fired enmasse, I knew it was coming so I formed my LLC. I had my work lined up, called every other person who was let go and offered to find them work. Old boss called me up and threatened to sue me for going after their ex employees!!! Fuck you Darren! Best thing ever." said u/imnotbobvilla.

He told me if I wished to continue working, then id better sign. My response: then I guess I don't work here anymore. I picked up my tool box and left. EDIT: yes, I am an A&P.

I heard later that the next day regional manager and a couple of executives turned up for a surprise inspection.

The complete waste of oxygen that was the GM at the time tried to compete with the new job, and I laughed in his face. Told him that in order for me to even consider staying, he would have to give me a $9/hr raise, pto, and health insurance. He made a hateful comment, and I took my notice and changed the final date to t
