We've probably all had that job we wish we'd flounced out of in true style. The one we begrudgingly showed up for every day and did our time, secretly building up our private list of resentments against the boss from hell. Hopefully, for most of us, that doomsday scenario of a job is in the past, but I imagine most of us eventually left it by meekly saying it was time for pastures new and wishing that hated boss the best for the future. Sometimes it's just not worth burning those bridges.
But these 30 people weighed up all the evidence and decided not to keep their head down and play it safe but to go for the adrenaline rush of going out in a blaze of glory where they say the thing they always wanted to say in the most memorable way possible.
[post_page_title]#1 This Actually Quite Lovely Cake[/post_page_title]
To be fair, not ALL of these entries involve someone burning their bridges with all their pent-up vengeful rage. This one's actually rather lovely.

It's honest, kind, compassionate and expresses something sincerely without resentment, and showcases their fine baking skills into the bargain. A superb way to quit!
[post_page_title]#2 This Very Public Dressing-Down[/post_page_title]
Jamie sounds like a pretty nasty piece of work, and like he thoroughly deserved any embarrassment that came his way from having his flaws displayed publicly on his storefront for all to see.

My favorite thing about this one is that, despite all the obvious anger in the message, the employees writing it were restrained enough to use different colored pens to make it look more striking.
[post_page_title]#3 This Masterful Error Message[/post_page_title]
This one is possibly my favorite. I wouldn't even know where to begin when it comes to tinkering with the inner workings of a computer to make this error message come up, so hats off to whoever did it.

I like to imagine this popped up in the middle of an already stressful admin day in order to have the maximum disruptive impact.
[post_page_title]#4 This Lovely Bottle Of Whiskey[/post_page_title]
Another kind one, this - not only will it have taken a bit of time and showcases their design skills, it's nice to be gifted with a bottle of whiskey when an employee resigns - you'd think it should be the other way round!

Let's just hope the boss thought to read the label before drinking it and did actually notice that it was someone's resignation letter, and not just an anonymous gift.
[post_page_title]#5 This Very Frank Letter[/post_page_title]
For all that it's fun to bake a special cake or make a secret error message inside your boss's computer, sometimes the best way to make someone face up to their failings is just to tell it like it is.

Whether the boss did go on to change the sign himself, or just hire another disgruntled employee, is something we'll never know I guess.
[post_page_title]#7 This Very Subtle Price-Tag[/post_page_title]
At first glance, it'd be easy to miss the rather angry message hidden in this price tag, but for anyone who really wants to read every single feature, there's something there to be discovered.

But do you know what? I think that last sentence really makes it.
[post_page_title]#12 This Message In A Variety Of Marker Colours[/post_page_title]
Another message where the writer contains their anger enough to be able to use multiple different colored markers, though this time they even have the presence of mind to mention it.

[post_page_title]#15 These Twin Cakes[/post_page_title]
This one might not have the embarrassing, passive-aggressive detail of some of the best of these, but you can't argue with the level of time and effort put into making these rather lovely-looking cakes.

The guy's a decent artist, too. Hope he went on to draw many more toilets.
[post_page_title]#18 This Sympathy Card[/post_page_title]
It's always hard to know what to say when someone experiences a bereavement. A "sorry for your loss" card never really feels like quite enough. So it's nice to finally see one be given a proper purpose.

Publicly quitting and letting the customers know how bad the bosses are is one thing, but recommending they go to a rival store is really rubbing salt into the wound.

If you've dreamed about quitting your job on the spot - without bothering with a notice period or a formal resignation letter - then join the club!
Unfortunately, absolutely hating your job is something that we all go through. You may hate everything about the job or just certain aspects - but eventually, you get to the point where enough is enough.
But while many of us would love to quit abruptly, give our boss a piece of our mind and then not turn up for work ever again - unfortunately, it's not really feasible for the average Joe.
But one woman was brave enough to share a briefly-written note with her boss, telling him she wouldn't be turning up for work ever again, citing the boss' supposed "rudeness" as the reason.
The woman, who quit her job at a Target store in the US, shared the note to Reddit, with the caption: "the note I left on my TL desk after my shift" alongside a relieved emoji.
It read: "Hey Jordan! Just wanted to let you know that I will not be returning to work tomorrow or next week! Thx hun! – M."
The note continued: "P.S. I will never understand why you were so rude to me!"
And she ended the note with a drawing of an (ironic) smiley face.

The response the woman got was divisive, with some praising her and others telling her it was the wrong thing to do.
One person told her: "Good job! I walked out of my job at Target too. I was the only one working in the food corner (before they all turned into a starbucks) and they would just f**king leave me there, even when I would be paging for help. I hated that job.
"And I always smelled like popcorn."
However, others felt the action was only "burnt bridges" for the former Target employee.
One wrote: "Y’all may laugh and cheer on how to leave a job- but trust me, once you step foot out of retail and into a more professional career, you’ll see what we’re saying about burning bridges and about how to leave a job."
A bartender has taken to social media to show off his brazen response to his now-former boss after being messaged at 2:59AM and being asked to work the next day.
Taking to Reddit, the unnamed bartender shared a series of messages between him and his ex-employer after he was messaged in the middle of the night and asked to start work at 10AM the following morning.
Sharing a screenshot of the text exchange, the Redditor - who goes by the username 'ThrowRA_1895' on the platform - captioned the post: "Got my beer balls on right now, I think I made the right decision".
In the opening request, the bartender's boss, Robert, writes: "I need you to come in 11am-10pm today, we have an event scheduled and one bartender."
You'll note that this opening message was sent at 2:59AM and didn't include a "please" or "thank you".
Fully within his right to do so, the bartender replies: "No thank you. Tomorrow is my day off."

However, his employer - the one who messaged in the early hours of the morning, lest we forget - then has the audacity to tell the bartender that he needs "to be a team player". That being said, at least in this second message he asks: "Please come in tomorrow".
Enjoying his free time, the bartender replied: "Why are you just now telling me at 3am that you need me to work 11 hours tomorrow? I’ve had a few drinks and I don’t feel like coming into work hungover and working for that long on my day off."
Once again, a perfectly understandable reason for not being able to jump on a last-minute shift with just eight hours notice.
Unbelievable, the employer responds by telling the bartender that he needs "to stay ready for work" and says that getting drunk is "not a good look".
Aghast at what his manager had messaged, the bartender sarcastically responds: "You’re telling the BARTENDER to not drink on his time off? Wanna go tell the chefs to not eat off the clock too?" He says that if he was given more notice, he may have considered doing the extra shift, but considering he was already drunk, he didn't want to work 11 hours with a hangover.
He then asks why Robert couldn't fill in on the bar himself, to which his boss replies: "We are going to talk about this attitude when you come in on Sunday."
After clearly having enough of his boss' attitude, the bartender tells him: "No we're not. Bartenders are needed all over the place now. I think I’ll just go work at one of the dozens of places hiring around here. I’m fed up with you."
The boss hastily tries to tell the bartender that he was making a mistake and being impulsive because he was drunk - going as far as to say: "When you wake up tomorrow you're gonna regret this."
But the bartender gets the final work, simply replying: "Eat. My. A**."
The screenshots were shared to Reddit three days ago and have already amassed over 130,000 upvotes and 8,000 comments on the platform.
One person commented saying: "God I love it when the tone changes so hard in the span of a single message. He's all ready to be the big tough authority figure telling you how to act on your off hours and 'we're going to talk about this attitude' like your absentee stepdad, and then whoops, if he's actually gonna quit I'm gonna be f***ed!"
A second replied to the post saying: "'You need to be prepared' from a manager who isn't prepared for an extremely common contingency. Maybe manager should start looking for a job too, one that doesn't rely on his interpersonal skills and scheduling abilities being better than a sack of moldy potatoes."
Remember: Your time is your time.

Customers can be total jerks. It's no secret, especially if you've worked in retail. Many of us reading this, and likely many other humans working away this very minute, will find some solace in the fact that it's not just us. In the age of commerce and capitalism we live in, it is required and a key job descriptor to interact with fellow humans are coming to you or your compy to take part in the great money-game to purchase goods or services. It is the way.
However, it isn't that simple. It is indeed the way, but it also not the whole way. Still with me? Customers are often not the most socially enlightened when it comes to etiquette and often behave in manners uncouth and down-right wrong towards waiters, bartenders, retail workers and many, many more. Sometimes though, people behave in such a way that some form of retaliation is inevitable and most of the time, it's very amusing. Case in point...

[post_page_title]#22 This Is How A Table Left The Tip For One Of My Servers[/post_page_title]
Tipping in some cultures is expected, and in others, it is simply encouraging to varying degrees. Either way, it's a nice gesture and affirmation of hard work, totaling up to help with modern living costs. In short, it's a simple pleasant gesture.

I am astounded. Not only do people not want to imagine anyone they know taking part in carnal pleasures, but when it's your parents, it really takes the biscuit.
Usually, it's a simple "ewwwwww, shut up!" and all is defused. However...

Once again, the service industry is an absolute institution in the modern world and an industry myself and many others have absolute open respect for! The key and operative word there is "many", a word that implies "not all".

What makes this even worse is not only the mess itself, but the overtly sub-par manner in which the person in question has hastily and very, very poorly thrown some napkins down and made a quick exit.

Ask most people what they think of notorious mass-murdering dictator Josef Stalin and most will tell you he was a really bad egg. Mind you, that practice he had of rewriting the history of his country by doctoring photos to remove people he didn't want to be in them - there's something in that. It's ruthless, insane and egomaniacal, yes. But who among us can honestly say we don't have some photos that we really like because they remind us of a great holiday, or because we look really great in them, or any number of reasons, but we're kept from truly enjoying them because they feature an ex who now brings a lot of bad associations to the photo itself? Wouldn't we all do as Stalin did and do a little editing of our own personal history to get rid of some bad memories if only there were some way to do it? Well, one clever entrepreneur offered this exact service on Twitter, with some very amusing results...
[post_page_title]It Starts Innocently Enough...[/post_page_title]
Whether or not this Twitter user has much of a professional background in graphic design or was just throwing this idea out onto the internet a propos of nothing, she seems pretty serious about her offer to Photoshop exes out of photos for $10 apiece.

Hard to know if this started out at least partly tongue-in-cheek, but people certainly came back with some sincere requests.
[post_page_title]The First Attempt[/post_page_title]
Here's the first photo submission she received - one of these two looks much happier to be at this picnic in the park anyway, so the writing's very much on the wall already for this relationship.

Enter our hero, ready to work her magic and make it possible for this lady to enjoy this photo again.
[post_page_title]Abracadabra![/post_page_title]
And just like that, he's gone! No longer doomed to look at a picture of herself and some weird bored-looking guy in a park, this lady can now just enjoy the sight of herself and her dog having a fun picnic together!

And who wouldn't want that?
[post_page_title]Doubt Creeps In[/post_page_title]
Mind you, our hero had to step in to defend the fact that she had in fact Photoshopped him out in response to suggestions that he looked so weird in the original photo that she must have Photoshopped him in in the first place.
[caption id="attachment_4961" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

I guess the fact that he looks so weird and tacked-on in the first photo is testament to just how much that relationship wasn't quite working?
[post_page_title]Another Job[/post_page_title]
After proving her skills at removing unwanted memories, the jobs came pouring in. This guy no longer has to superimpose a clown's head onto this photo in order to look at it without painful flashbacks.

This woman must have spent years trying to look at this delightful photo of herself having fun on a swing only to be reminded of the guy she's left behind - hexappeal to the rescue once again!

This is an advanced job, as she's even managed to remove his hands, both of which he's placed on his girlfriend as she swings. Painting out each individual finger must have taken a while!
[post_page_title]Yet Another[/post_page_title]
This woman, posing with her kitten, must have been very reluctant to just delete such a cute photo, but it seems a shame she has to see her ex's big grinning head every time she looks at it.

I can't help but feel that asking a graphic designer to accurately predict someone's next boyfriend and Photoshop them into a picture is a bit of a tall order.

[post_page_title]A Big Order[/post_page_title]
By and large, the people of the internet are impressed with her work. This woman got in touch seemingly with the promise of a very big order - sounds like she's got quite a few photos that need correcting.
[caption id="attachment_4974" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Mind you, she's only offering the same price as the one our Photoshopper originally quoted for just one photo, so she doesn't seem to have much of a head for business.
[post_page_title]One Final Request[/post_page_title]
And here's one last daft request - calling for her to make a qualitative judgement on who this stranger could feasibly stand a chance with, and then Photoshop in people who don't fit that category. Another tall order.

We wish her every success and I can't wait to see the business inevitably expand into the world of predicting people's future partners and Photoshopping them in.
Knowing when you're going to get paid is an important part of any job.
But for one man, asking about payday meant being fired from a role before he'd even started.
The shocked employee took to Reddit to share a text conversation he had with his new boss the day he was supposed to go in and sign the new hire paperwork.
It all started when the man - who goes by doggolover482 on the social media platform - asked how often he would be paid in his new role as a tutor.
In a screenshot of a text conversation between him and his new boss, things start friendly. The manager seems alright with the question and responds that payday is "bi-weekly".
The man followed this up with another straightforward question: "When will be my first payday?" However, this was clearly a step too far for the boss, who texted back that they had changed their mind.
"I would hire someone whose desire is to work with the company," they added.

The boss then appeared to cancel a prior arrangement for the new hire to come into the office later that day.
The Reddit user - by now understandably bewildered by the conversation - texted back: "I'm sorry? I don't understand. I do want to work with the company. But pay information is important for me to properly budget for bills."
Despite this (entirely justified) explanation, their boss took this as another cue to fly off the handle. They texted back that they were "looking for an individual who is willing to work with the flow, with the environment" and that they weren't "looking for any candidates whose priority is only pay."
"[You] didn't ask me about any other staff, uniform etc. [You] have been only asking me [about] pay. So I am not interested in such a candidate," they added.
The Redditor argued his case back, saying that while his priority was the job, he still needed money for gas, food and shelter. He didn't share what his boss responded or whether he ended up taking the job, but it seems fairly clear from his post that he didn't.

Many users in the comments were of the opinion that he was better off not working for such a crazy boss.
"I can say is thank goodness you found out! You don't work for such an a**. Here's to you finding something even better," one wrote.
"Massive red flag. You dodged a bullet," agreed another.
