'Thank you so much for firing me': People share how they burned bridges on their last day of work

Some of us are people pleasers and could never imagine causing drama on our last day at a job, but others feel that they have nothing left to lose. 

 

Honestly, power to these individuals. I could never motivate myself to be that savage, even if I were completely in the right. I've been candid about the experience as a whole, certainly. If I have an exit interview, I do believe that affords employees on their way out with a healthy opportunity to professionally discuss the issues within their place of work. The chances of your managers taking your advice may be slim to none, but it won't really affect your day-to-day in any way since you won't be working there anymore. However, anything more requires a kind of confidence and audacity that I do not possess. Some of these former employees, who shared their stories via this r/AskReddit thread, engaged in sabotage, confessions, bold statements, out-of-line behavior, etc. Again, I could never imagine myself doing or saying these things, but reading about them certainly provides a sort of vicarious fulfillment.
