    Oh a gift to the boss for allowing you to have this opportunity would be the cherry on top.

      and also: you just got diagnosed with cancer but your doctor thinks you’ll be okay because your employer provided health insurance is going to get you the medicine you need to beat the cancer.

    While simple, it can honestly be kind of fun to just go in and let them know. When I was recently laid off, it went something like this.

    HR: “I know this might be a shock–”

    Me: “Yeah, you’re letting me go, I know. Here’s my work laptop and badge, I’ve got all my stuff in a box outside, what do I sign? Trying to catch the next train home, so I have like 20 minutes.”

    It totally threw off my boss and the HR lady trying to do their sombre, dignified thing, and was pretty funny to watch.

    My dad used to brag about those situations being great cause it meant you had the salesperson that worked for you by the balls and wouldn’t have to care about raises or bonuses for them or treating them well cause you knew they needed the job badly.

    He was a fucking asshole.

      This is accidentally so true for German learners when it comes to German verbs.

      Nah, then they can fire you for unauthorized overtime, working outside of scheduled hours, whatever billshit they want. The you don’t get unemployment benefits.

      At least if you’re laid off, you can collect unemployment which also raises the amount the employer has to pay in premiums.

    A keylogger on the back of the boss’ computer? A hardware VPN backdoor to the company’s network? Oh maybe bring a flash drive full of malware and viruses and just drop it in the break room?

      Please don’t do this, you will be tried and probably end up in prison. There must better ways to be petty that won’t give you problems with police and judicial system.

      I was involved as a witness in two cases like this, not only it creates problem for you but a lot of other people as well.

        Fill the curtain rods with fish. It’ll take a few days for the smell to start, and weeks before anyone even thinks to check the curtain rods.

    They wouldn’t care.

    Just change an important password somewhere, have an important file/tool at home somewhere, or make yourself unmissable in any other way.

    Or at least send a giant corporate mail to everyone stating all the nasty shit the company has done over the years you worked there.

      Make sure you do this in a non identifiable way. This is illegal and you can get fucked. Do not have it associated with your account at all.
