People have jobs so that we get paid. Work is certainly not a hobby and a paycheck is a standard expectation from your boss every two weeks– it's honestly the bare minimum requirement that we ask of them. In this case, a diligent employee was fuming after months of reminding his boss to write him his salary checks– he used this fury to fuel a fiery resignation. The boss hemmed and hawed over writing the checks and always made it a big to-do instead of simply following through on his end of their employment deal and finally OP had had enough.

OP could no longer stand to chase down his boss in order to get paid, so he started planning an epic exit strategy that included a fair amount of satisfying revenge. Knowing they had a huge presentation coming up with paying clientele, OP lined up a new job knowing that he had no intention of ever attending the meeting. Once the presentation day came along, OP didn't show up. He ghosted his boss for the important meeting, giving him a taste of his own medicine and leaving him stranded when the boss needed him most. Later that day, he sent in a resignation letter.
