Owen Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 If I were to quit my job without giving notice, how would I handle the tax stuff? I mean, I'd need to notify the government that I'm not working there anymore wouldn't I? Or does the company handle all that, after they've figured out I left. Just hypothetical, some of us in the office were wondering what the correct answer was. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 You don't have to notify the gov't. The business will stop reporting your income and taxes to them, and that's it. Sounds like you're planning a mass exodus. Good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah if you just stopped coming in they would stop paying you. That simple. Your social security number wouldn't be recieving any pay and that it how they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Giving a notice I think is to let the company replace the lost of a employee. Also it helps when u find another job and u give the company as a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Better yet, keep going to work, but just stop WORKING at work. See how long it takes before you get fired. I did this for a few weeks at my job, but it seems that the Navy just doesn't care if I work or not. I din't get fired . Let us know if you decide to go this route, should make for some interesting reading.... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The movie "Office Space" comes to mind. I love that movie, i'm always tempted to try something like that but need the money to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Giving a notice I think is to let the company replace the lost of a employee. Also it helps when u find another job and u give the company as a reference. Yeah, if you cared about the company and your next job required a reference. But taking that out of the picture, it seems everyone has the same answer. I'll let the guys here know what I found out. Seeing how long it would take to get fired is pretty funny! Maybe one day...

johnc Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've been skating here at betaMotorsports for 3 years and they haven't fired me yet! When I was part owner of a software company I was fired at least weekly. Some of the reasons were: 1. Refusing to wear a suit and tie. 2. Arguing loudly against a confusing server/network acronym naming standard (previously, the domain was "Looney Tunes" and all the servers were characters in that cartoon series.) 3. Throwing a lemon jelly donut in the President's face during a meeting. 4. Starting a "Ken Head" coloring contest featuring the President's face as the coloring subject. 5. Having Kaos (the international organization of evil) hijack the newly introduced intra-net that was being completely ignored. 6. Calling Vice-President of Marketing a "complete f***ing idiot" in an executive staff meeting. I'm sure there were more reasons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonsZ Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 1. Refusing to wear a suit and tie. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! How dare you! Didn't you know that a properly followed dress code shows solidarity? If just one person refuses, the whole team suffers. (Or rather looks like idiots.) I'm with you bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Heh, I am a network administrator and system admin. I work in server room, dusty areas, go on locations where it's not clean. Crawl under people's desks to get to PCs in areas that haven't been vaccuumed in this millenia. I am expected to wear casual dress shoes, clean (not faded, this is stated in the HR policy) polo or dress shirts, and slacks. This is very efficient, of course, when I wind up walking dirty half the time, and ruin good clothes Just recently HR banned the wear of cargo pants... on every day use, including casual friday. So much for casual friday when you're only allowed either a: regular work attire from 4 other days, or b: clean jeans, tennis shoes, and a polo or hawaiian shirt.

johnc Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I can understand some kind of dress code when dealing with customers if the customers expect it. Ultimately you don't want to put anything in the way of making a sale. But, many companies confuse customers with co-workers. A customer is someone who will give your company more for product or services. The whole "internal customer" managment mantra is BS because the "internal customer" isn't paying. "Internal customers" are co-workers and their focus should be on the real, paying customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, working for a credit union, they got some asswhack rules here. I still have no idea or explanation why I can't wear cargo pants, which are way comfier and probably more presentable than jeans anyway.
