If you KNEW you were going to get fired tomorrow at the end of your shift what would you do???

Question

Since most everyone has a different job each answer should be unique to YOUR job.

Answer 1

I would flip out on them!!! I'd try and redo the scene from Jerry McGuire when Tom Cruise gets the boot. I'm a student teacher so I probably would flip over a couple of desks. Throw paper everyday. Knock a kid or two down. Start a fire in the wastbasket to set off the sprinkler system. Paint the chalkboard yellow. Oh yeah, and I would probably pocket a few supplies. Just a few!!!

Answer 2

Anything you do, you can be held liable for - like putting Viagra in the coffee pot, turning off the refrigerator used by the office staff, deleting all those computer files you've been using.

I'm 54 and have left several jobs. The thing that pi88es, them off the most is the simple fact that you are leaving - you are getting out of that mess (maybe going into a worse mess). So Management will sometimes try to bait you to say things, that they can use on the staff still there.

And there is always 1 person (called a Judas) who will come to you and ask for the "real story" on why you are leaving. This person, then runs and tells the boss what you are saying.

I always just smile and say "Its time to move on." The fact that you can smile about it, pi88es off the management and the staff. And you drop a hint to the other staff, that MAYBE they should "move on". :=)

Answer 3

I would want to find out why I was being fired. If it is due to downsizing, ask for some recommendations about where you might be able to go, especially if you are on good terms with your manager. If it is because you did something, find out what it was. I probably would not do something stupid because when a future employer calls for a reference, and they will, that could come up. In either situation, confront the manager and just plain ask, is it a rumor or is it true, and I would do this first thing into my shift. Why give a company a full day of work, unless your severance package depended on it.

Answer 4

I started my job yesterday so I might curse a little at first and rant to my friends about the inconvience but then I'd just call up a different job I was offered and declined for this opportunity, and move on.

But, hypothetically if that had happened in the past, I wouldn't **** up my future by quiting (then you can't get unemployment!) or by screwing up (then it can come back to haunt you - future employers find out things!) . I'd directly approach my supervisor and ask where and how for .... and tell them the assets (me and my personal business contacts) that they will lose. THATS how you beat them to the punch.

If you really want to be nasty, contact their competition and offer them those same assets. Then when you approach your boss you have an even bigger bargaining chip ... and worst (or in some cases best) case, you then have a new job lined up.

Answer 5

Great time to ask your question. I was discussing this with some of my co-workers today. (Not that any of us feel we are going to be fired).Being that I am the one who handles the payroll, I would fax my time into the corporate office to recieve my check (direct deposit) and not show up to export payroll for the other 96 employees. No one has been trained for my position yet, so I don't think I would be the only person they will be trying to replace. Everyone who does not get a check on time will probably not show up the next day.

Answer 6

it doesnt matter what job u have...u should go out with pride and dignity.quittng means u get they get out of paying u unemployment..be the hardest worker that they have ever seen that way when u do get fired u still have the potential to get a good reference from them. also by working hard u will almost make them feel bad about firing u and maybe they will think twice.....if so work ur bootay off so that u can keep ur job if u like it!!! if not, and u dont want to work there, be adult and give ur 2 weeks notice.

Answer 7

Perform my job in an honorable manner right up to the end. I made a deal to do a job and will do it until it ends, regardless of when that is. That's called being a professional.

Answer 8

I would submit a written resignation TODAY giving two weeks' notice! You would be one-upping your supervisor, plus you would then be entitled to all of your accrued benefits such as vacation time. In addition, you could honestly state on future employment applications that you had resigned your previous position rather than than you had been fired.
When I worked for a supervisor whom I could not tolerate, I did as above instead of becoming angry and walking out!

Answer 9

Uhh don't quit like the person above said. You won't be eligible for unemployment then. Maybe call in sick till the weekend passes. But then you may walk in and get fired. If you don't care about another full days pay then call in.

Answer 10

Depends. how long you worked there for....if you would be eligible for unemployment benefits...research before quitting or getting fired so you know which is best. otherwise< i would truly fake an excrutiating injury....maybe something like a back pain where they cant prove it...That"ll maybe even buy you another week or so (if your actual boss boss was in completely in charge of firing hiring and no one else to answer to).
