When I got hired here at the FD, I was working at Dannon yogurt, I gave my boss a two week notice. He said hail no!!!!
Paid me two weeks to leave, guess he knew I wasnt going to work either way.

Apparently brussel sprouts also smell the microwave up real bad.
Just came back from lunch and one of the guys had brussel sprouts. You can make the smell worse by using a big bowl and boiling the suckers in water. If you have a toaster oven, burn some garlic toast. A little garlic smoke spreads through the entire office and youll still be able to smell it the next day.

We had a sales guy put in his notice at the beginning of the calendar year. His boss told him to stay on until the end of the fiscal, which ends this month, and made him go to an industry conference to meet with all of his accounts, which also allowed him to network and discuss all of our companys plans with competitors while being a sitting duck employee.
He quit because he hates our company, by the way, doesnt have a new job lined up, and he was in charge of arguably our most important and competitive territory.
Terrible decision by his boss and upper management.

when you quit here, you don't get last two weeks. You get escorted out. Yep, in IT you are allowed 1 box to remove personal items and walked to the door. But put in your retirement notice and my employer begs you to stay on and usually sweetens the pot as incentive.
He is truly a sick individual.

When I have had my last 2 weeks, I have told employees the truth. Companies hide things from employees and I would spill the beans. I would say to a new guy remember the company said you would never lose money in your 401k. Lie. Or the prizes at the company picnic are not random,mgt decided in advance who wins.
