Yeah, I've had enough. I'm employed buy a huge multi-national computer manufacturer as a software engineer. I'd hope to be laid off with a severence package - but apparantly they like me enough for me to completly fuck up a project, work at home a whole year spending about 20 minutes each day doing work vs. sleeping or whatever, to give me a satisfactory review!!!
I'm smart enough to know intimately how computers work... I'm smart enough to meet my needs without selling my life away on an installment plan.
So I just stopped coming into work ala Office Space. Originally I was just going to quit... but that's dumb. My paycheck stops as soon as I quit. If I let them fire me, then the wheels of corporate beauacracy must first slowly turn before the paycheck stops.
Anyone have suggestions on losing your job?
Note: I'm thankful to have a great deal of savings so that I really do not have to work - providing I can live without cable TV and the JetSki that's been sitting in my garage for over a year now... and other absurd things. (Do I, 2 cats and 2 chinchillas really need a 1500 sq ft 3br/2ba home for $1500 a month house payment????)

Re: I'm passively trying to get fired
Wed, April 19, 2006 - 12:32 AMYou could really start by popping up in the office from time to time and muttering inappropriate things at inopportune times. If you get the cuff of your pants wet and walk around looking at it and saying things like sprinkle and urine, that will go a long way... Just don't start saying things about sex or you'll not only get fired but also sued for sexual harassment and I don't think you want that.... Good Luck!
