Number one, it's not very nice, and one can get their point across without talking like that. I've had issues and things that I haven't agreed totally with the bosses I've had, and although a person's first response is to tell them off, it really doesn't solve anything.

Number two, you better have another job lined up if you're going to do this.

Well once,im not proud of it,I had worked at this shoe store at the local mall since sohomore year,it was flexable,easy and every one except the manager was easy and nice to get along with.Me and the manager got along fine,she was just not managment material.and was a hypocrite.she left early every day and would adjust her time later to say she left like 3 hours later...but whatever,that was her business,I could have cared less,until i started getting sick over the summer,for 3.5 years of not one sick day i've taken,or ever being late,when I finally found out i needed my gall bladder taken out,I was already in the hospital getting prepped for surgury,and she was on vacation 2 hours away at the beach,after calling the other employees to open the store for me,none of them could/or would answer.So I was forced to call her,she sighed into the phone and asked could i just delay the surgury if it was not an emergency,and I could hear her tell her husband in the background (this is rediculous)how bad can a gall bladder be! this after I worked all summer in pain not once calling in sick,it just really pisssed me off,so I told her to enjoy her vacation,and since you are a mean vindictive wrench,I will be too.fully intending on busting her to our regional manager about her phony clockings,I quit in the hospital she had to drive 2 hours to open the store late like at 5 in the afternoon,just in time for the regional manager to drive up and fire her (I worked fast)if she would have just said sure I will come in,or been at all conscerned about me I would have looked the other way until the day I was really going to quit,before the holidays because I start an intership class spring and summer semester.I was offered my job back after my surgury but decided it's my senior year and I need to concentrate on my grades and enjoy this last year as much as possible.but it felt good to actually tell her that her ass was grass.(pardon my french)

Done that. I am not a bad person by no means, but when I am disrespected and humiliated and degraded, I can turn my "charm" full circle. People should know the taste of their own medicine. Let's put it this way,I'm not a person who puts another cheek to be slaped.

Well for a start, although it may be tempting at times, I wouldn't exactly be crude. But there are just some people who just irritate you because they may misuse their authority or try to make you feel little or because you are the new guy, they think they can push you around. It is so tempting just to tell them to do it themselves or to argue with them. But over something like that ie the boss was giving you a hard time or taking their bad mood out on you etc, at the end of the day, although it may feel good to stand up to them and tell them to take a hike, in the long run, it won't be a very positive experience. Because when you get home and think about the situation, then suddenly remember all the bills you have to pay and the house you have to pay off, then on second thoughts, that wasn't such a good idea to tell your boss to take a hik! Plus your job will be uncertain, they will always hold it against you and you will be the first person to go if they need to shed some employees. Sometimes, it really is just better to bite the old tongue, it may feel dreadful putting up with what your boss is doing, but at least you have a job and can have the bills paid. Well I am just lucky that I am in a job where I have good bosses. But the only time this would be a positive experience is if this was on a moral basis and you weren't crude, you just told them what was really on your mind and how you really felt about something. And it was because they were doing something illegal or something which went against your core values eg if a boss tried to make me do something against my Christianity or say something bad about God (not that there is anything bad to say about God), then this would be satisfying in the end to tell them what I thought. It would show my love for God but maybe it may even make that boss more careful in the future. Sometimes, standing up to your boss based on a moral principle can even strengthen those principles in yourself.

I've been tempted to do this on so many occasions but I've always been afraid of burning bridges. It still hurts to bite my tounge though.

This can feel really good,(although I did not use those exact words the several times I quit working for an anus).It's always been my philosophy that the only good thing about crappy jobs is that there's plenty of them! If more people would put up with less feces from employers,the world would be a much better place.I'm not talking about being lazy or getting away with bad job performance,I'm talking about standing up to people who think they can treat you like a dog because of their "title".

I told this sergeant that people like him work for people like me in the "real world." He took it personally and two jarheads showed up at my room to beat me. I was wearing my favorite steel toed boots and ruined their fun, so I guess I learned that the right shoes can back up a big mouth.

If you are in a job in which the market is paying more for the same then sure. Or if you are simply moving on to a different field I'd say go for it. I resigned from a company I worked with for 4 years, had been promoted 6 times and given 5 raises because I felt I was being transfered inappropriately to another location I had no interest in going to. The only reason that was doable was because I had literally no bills, money in the bank and my 401k to cash out if I really needed it. I felt great after I did it and unbeknownst to me I had people calling me for interviews at their companies even before I had official left the one I was at. That being said if I was in a different position- like having lots of bills- and also not having the luck of been recruited by other companies afterward- the decision to say "take diz jerb en shuv it" would probably been imprudent.

I have done this numerous times mostly as a younger man with no kids. When your single you have the luxury of being able to stick to your guns about so many things that you dont when theyre are mouths to feed at home. Being humble is somthing Im not too good at but I did it often for my family. 20 years ago I was self absorbed and focused on one thing. My music Career. No one was getting in the way and neither was any one boss. I would quit jobs in those days over being asked to cut my hair. I was a pro musician and my look was part of my tools in the trade. These are viable reasons for a career minded musician while it may sound shallow to most who cannot relate. I kind of have a laugh at myself then, but I dont ever blame myself for those things. I was comitted and working very hard at what I was doing, and that cannot be negative. After my second child was born, Iknew very quickly that my life would change, and I took on the change like a Father should.

Living in a "right to work state" with an unemployment rate of 3.5%, I've told more than one jackass to stick it. Does it feel good...why, yes it does.

Like Jed1000 I too have quit a job based on principle. I also did not tell my boss to stick it... but I did let him know the reasons why I was leaving and felt a certain amount of joy on my departure. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do, fortunately I got another job right after this occurred. I would recommend though having something lined up if possible as far as a new job prior to burning any "employment bridges".

I've never used those exact words but I did quit a job once when my supervisor told me to clean the break room... and I'd never had a coffee break or a lunch break the entire time I worked there. It felt good to do something based on principle.. but it didn't feel good not to have a job anymore.
