So satisfying. Nine months later, and I still get a smile on my face. Nothing beats walking out the door with nary a goodbye, and then, never looking back.

It's not "gutless" to fire back at someone who's had the power to keep you silenced once they can't do anything about it. Jason had more guts than you; he said the truth, got pissed when he was muffled, and then shouted it in a way that they couldn't stop. I empathize far more with Jason because I see him as coming from a place of frustrated passion and wanting to change it - rather than being perfectly fine with the status quo. Stop being such a self-righteous deek; your capitalism's showing. No, it wasn’t.

I heard a story about a guy that killed himself and he left his wife a note that only said to find someone to mow the lawn. now that's a pa-note, this is just whiney insane carpet envy. right on. drew carey said ‘everyone hates their job, if there was a club for it’d be called a bar.’ I heard a story about a guy that killed himself and he left his wife a note that only said to find someone to mow the lawn. now that’s a pa-note, this is just whiney insane carpet envy.

At least Jason did what most people want to but chicken out of doing. So whatever the actual content, I think we could all use a little inspiration from someone who did actually stand up and critique their former workplace. There is such a culture of bullshit in workplaces where no one actually mentions what's wrong, out of fear, and justifies it by saying that it would be immature to complain about harassment, bad or unsafe work practices, emotional abuse, getting ripped off salary-wise, etc etc. Hey, what’s with the homophobic comments from the bitter whiner bore71?
