i'm quitting right now * 1 day at a time * i'm closer than i've ever been
We had a driver take his route out, come back later that morning and park the truck. Didn't say a word to anyone. Left. The truck sat there for the longest time before someone realized it was there.
We had a driver do the same thing! Drove it back to the building, nosed it into the dock and left the diad sitting in the drivers seat. First driver back to the building after it was found had a really bad day.
I will make sure all my pension paperwork is in order, then give 2 weeks written notice. And I will continue busting my ass and giving a fair days work for a fair days pay during that final 2 weeks. After 30+ years I will want to leave on good terms, even if I am the only one who wlll notice or care.

One thing I just don't get with how some people are saying they'd like to quit is how their method would screw the customer. I understand screwing management/the company/fellow co-worker, but the customer is the reason the company exists and why you could have the job in the first place.
If for whatever reason you are absolutely compelled to piss off your management team, show up in the parking lot after you have retired with the fish you have been catching. Or make a big poster of your pension check and wave it at them as they glumly march into work on a Monday morning. But dont screw over your co-workers and customers by pulling some stunt like leaving a truck full of undelivered packages for them to deal with. That is unethical, it is low, it is childish, and it is a really crappy way to end a career in my opinion. Be the bigger man, have some integrity, and walk away from the job with class and grace instead of sh%tting all over the customers and co-workers you are leaving behind.

Payback is hell after 34 plus years my reoccurring dream is just as I said......IHOP -coffee - and the old high hard one for the crappy stupidvisors that now occupy our offices. Not as a slap in the face for co-workers but a statement against all the brow beating and harassment we receive the duration of our careers. As for screwing your co-workers that is simply a matter of opinion. The ones affected will be the burners that make our days hard by setting standards by working off the clock,giving up lunch,and driving unsafely, to those folks I say KMA.....BCI will have well over 30 years in the drivers seat on my final day before retirement. Its going to be an emotional day for me. I cannot imagine endng a career of that length by doing something as crappy as leaving a truck full of undelivered packages behind for my friends and coworkers to deal with. I dont care how sleazy the management in my building might be when that day arrives....I will look them in the eye, shake their hand and wish them well when I leave. Why stoop to their level when you can rise above it?
