hey this is not a hair subject but a legal subject. i am gunna ask you guys this cause you guys on this board seem pretty intelligent. anyway i got 7 hours to think of a good way to quit my job. i wana go in wearing a shirt that says "(the companys name)sucks! in big letters on the front. or say this company sucks and not say the companys name. i was wondering if this could be under libel/slander ? like i just want it to be funny, and go out with a bang so what you think? i live in ontario canada by the way. and i am a longhair, i've posted before. i dont care about this job and i am not using them on my resume. lol obviosly.
That isn't the way to do it. You simply tell your boss that it just isn't working out and that you need to move on. And if at all possible you should give them some notice as to not leave them in a bind. By doing it this way, it makes you look more responsible and mature, furthermore, it makes you look like a better person in general. After all, they did hire you with long hair and that's more than many conpanies would so.
Just my thoughts.

Even if ryan has no intention of using this current job for a reference, burning that bridge may cost him down the road in unanticipated ways. Ryan, don't do it.

Bear in mind if you don't have to use this company as a
reference now you may have to use it as a reference
a number of times over in the coming years.
You may also have to deal with this company/people
in other ways. Especially if you live in a small town.
Employers do not like a period of unaccounted for time, and if they ask you what you were doing during those time, and you said you were unemployed it may not be too good unless its a long time ago. It is much worse to lie by the way because if they found out chances are you will be fired and it will be much harder to get a job as a liar.
just tell your boss you can't do it anymore and give advanced notice so they dont get in a bind. If you say bad things about a company it makes you look bad and who knows if that company may be connected to other companies and bosses and you might find it hard getting a job.
Yes giving two weeks is a good idea, also be aware your
current employer may be influencial with other businesses/industries that if you alienate the company you
may find hard to get hired elsewhere.
(The phraase "you'll never work in this town again" comes to mind. Some employers carry that much weight in a given community.)
Don't do it. Be diplomatic and just indicate you want to
pursue other opportunites/paths/etc.
The last thing you want to do alienate the employer since
the empployer will be in a position to give future references.
As tempting as it is don't do it.
Not a good idea. You never know if you will cross paths with any of these people again. I have even known someone who left a job he hated, and then the two firms merged, so he had to deal with his old boss in the new job.
OTOH, one of the funniest things I ever saw at work was a guy who collected his final pay check and then sneaked out by going down the fire escape!
This was at an electrical test lab where I worked many years ago. It was his first job out of college and he had interviewed with a number of places, so a better offer came in after he started the job, and he quit after only two weeks.
He didn't have to give notice because he had been there such a short time, so he was still in a probationary period, and his resume could just say he started his first job two weeks later than he did.
It kept us all laughing for the rest of the afternoon!
