So, I posted about telling my then boss that I was not going to stay in Phx, and having the FU money to do just that. But, it wasn't *epic* because I kept it polite and did not burn my bridges (ie was firm but polite and respectful). I didn't actually have an issue with that boss, other than one really, really bad staff meeting that was uncalled-for. But his wife who worked as an office manager,was a raving bitch. That's another story, anyway, but I was *very* tempted to tell her where to go and how to get there.
Glad I did not because this past week, I was reminded of why I have always been careful NOT to do an epic FU, even if I have had issues with bosses (or their spouses). I've had 4 bosses over my "real job" life and about to have #5, as #4 is leaving for a big promotion in another state. I had substantial interactions with bosses #2-5, and although did not see boss #1 (who works at the same place as I do now), boss #5 used to work with/for boss #1 so it's a pretty small world.
Now, I do work in a somewhat small field, though the jobs were in 3 different cities in 2 different states, and my job now is different enough from previous ones that it's sort of surprising that this situation exists.
So, have you sorta been glad you didn't do an epic FU to leave a job?
