Burning bridges so assholes cannot follow

Jan 23, 12 Burning bridges so assholes cannot follow

I burned a bridge today

I had been dreaming of torching that mutha’ for four years. Oh, the relief! I have worked these last few years with the biggest bunch of dickheads I’ve ever met. It was a place where you can only succeed if  you’re male and brown nose the boss. Work ethic and performance do not count.

Some people need to be left behind

I heard from a few people the usual career advice “Don’t burn those bridges you might want to go back across.” But what if the company is the industry joke? What if your career suffered by association? There are some people you need to disassociate yourself from, a “taking out the trash” if you will.

Here’s to a group of Assclowns that I will not mind breaking ties with

I think the best part is hearing that my boss was surprised that I would just walk away.  No raises, shitty benefits and high stress caused by the constantly changing priorities. Less pay and even less upward mobility for women. Wow, what’s not to love? In short, a crappy company and a boss who think he’s still in the 1990′s when he last had success.

The future is brighter when lit by a burning bridge

I fell just short of my original plan, the one where I stand up in the middle of a meeting and say “You sir, are a Fucktard!” in my best southern accent. In the end walking away was more beneficial than working the last few days and taking more abuse for a measly paycheck.

    This is priceless. I actually stumbled upon this site from a Google search about Debonne wines?! How delightfully refreshing to read a post by a presumably “older woman” (menopause mafia?) that contains the nouns “dickheads”, “assclowns” and “fucktard”! You sound like someone I’d like to raise a glass with! And good on ye for tellin’ those backwards dolts to feck off.
