We are the only two employees in the main office besides the owner. There are three employees at a construction jobsite office. My coworker is a project manager and I am the office manager/accountant/IT guy.
Here's the situation: We have both been looking for jobs (on the sly) for like three months. We've both been on four or five interviews. She (my co-worker) got a job offer yesterday (Thursday), and I got a job offer today (Friday).
We want to give notice at the same time just for the effect, because we both agree that he's a terrible boss: He's never expressed appreciation for any of our workplace accomplishments (except sarcastically). He has always been very negative about everything with his comments, which are often either derogatory or sarcastic.
So does anyone have any good ideas? So far our plan is to go together into his office on Tuesday morning, sit down, and announce that we both have new jobs. Or should first one go tell him, then the other follow in five mins?

Rick B. - You're obviously another ungrateful demeaning bad boss. I feel sorry for your employees.
Kate - Giving notice is childish drama? We mainly feel we can offer each other mutual support so we aren't spoken harshly to, as he's done in the past.

Do it together so you can both watch him squirm.

I feel that you should talk to him one on one about your new jobs unless you don't feel safe doing so. He may feel ganged up on if the two of you talk to him at the same time regardless of his miserable way about him (between us and the wall :) Best policy is to go out 1st class, 100% of the time :-) Good luck with your new position. Hoping that you are more happy and contented.

People fantasize about this form of childish drama ,
But it is not professional .
I'm sure you can manage the standard courtesy notice ,
Unless you have not been getting paid or something .

Get over it. You found a new job, move on. No need to try to "get him good" before you leave. Grow up.
