'I quit at the register on Black Friday': 20+ People who got back at their bosses before joyfully quitting

If you're working for a boss you don't like, quitting is the best feeling in the world. And these people had an added bonus: they were able to tell their terrible bosses exactly what they thought about them before leaving.

They say that people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers. If you've ever been in a great job that quickly goes downhill when your favorite boss leaves, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A good manager can shield you from blame so that you can do your best work (or if you're in retail, they'll handle the most unhinged customers for you). Great managers encourage you to do your best while having realistic expectations. The right boss can make you excited to do your job — they make it feel like you're making a difference.

When you don't like your boss, though, it can be a real slog to get through the day. From micromanagers who need to know what you're doing every minute of the day, to those who blame you for everything and never praise you, it makes you dread waking up for work each morning.

That does make it especially satisfying when you find a new job! Just like these people below, you can finally take a breath and prepare for the next phase of your career, and leave your bad boss in the rearview mirror.

Check out the hilarious ways these people told their bosses to go to heck. Then, this dad ordered a hamburger with everything on it, despite the waitress's warnings.
