1. Stand up...Walk out....Don't look back.
Perhaps not the most RATIONAL way, but certainly the most satisfying.

5. Why? I wouldn't get UI. And unlike the dolts fucking up the place,
I sure as hell deserve it.

8. Tell them you're letting them go because their performance is not what you expected.

Back your car up to the loading dock
Fill 'er up and split.

At least, that's the best way I've ever heard someone leave a job. ;)

16. With dignity. Though if it's for more money and/or responsibility, it's fun to
let them know that too.

18. Singing Johnny Paycheck at the top of your lungs
as you walk slowly backwards towards the door with two arms full of miscellaneous office supplies.

:rofl:


Or with quiet dignity. After all, everyone probably already knows why you left. No need to sing. :P
