I wish I had a big, bad story about my boss, but alas he is really a cool guy.
I just woke up this morning and decided I needed a change so walked into the boss's office and told him, "I quit" and left.

Now, the interesting part will be when the wife gets home and I have to explain to her what happened.

I'm sorry but I really hope this is fake. But, if it's not I wish you the best of luck. And with the photography thing, it will come to you, eventually.

People actually do that in real life? If I quit, I have to give 4 weeks notice. It's in my employment contract. I thought is was in all employment contracts!

Most folks in the U.S. don't have an employment contract.

I seriously hope you didn't just bail out on your cool boss like that..... because one thing I have learned in life is NEVER EVER NEVER BURN BRIDGES. This is especially true if you were fortunate enough to have a fair good direct report. I"ve had bosses and jobs on what some would consider abusive and I made sure I left not only on my on accord but on good terms. I know for sure if I was your boss, I'd definitely would be not "kind" if someone came asking about you or a reference

Good f'n luck...


btw... In the US, most full time employment where no "END" date with contracted deliverables is set falls under the "At will" doctrine or clause (not really sure what to call it) Either party can walk away at any time without penalty, thus technically preventing any type of servitude within the US (yeh right). It sounds all great until you start really looking into the ramtifications of such clause from the worker standpoint. It pretty much means that any notion of workers rights is severly limited. You can be terminated for almost anything at anytime without recourse short of discrimination, illegal acts.. etc. You can be easily terminated simply because the boss doesn't like you.
