The absurd notice got people thinking about labor laws, unionization, and the ways low-wage workers are consistently taken advantage of.

    Quitting with no notice is one of the funniest stunts you can pull on a bad manager and I will not hear a word said against it.

      You want two week’s notice? Here’s your two week’s notice: In two weeks you’ll notice I haven’t been here for two weeks.

      Even funner is getting your vacation approved, then turning in your notice. Thanks for letting me not even be here (they weren’t going to pay out that vacay)

        I got to do that once, being in a country where we get 5 weeks paid holiday every year. I hadn’t taken any in a year and the boss tried to take the piss so I explained that I wouldn’t be working my notice and left.

        That was back in the day when jobs were easy to come by. So I got eight weeks pay the following month.

        Company disappeared off the internet three months later.

      I got to “fuck you, I quit” a guy who then laughed it off. Two weeks later he wanted to know why I was emptying my tool box on a Friday afternoon. Already did the paperwork with HR on “fuck you” day, never seen someone so stunned in my life.
