We've all had to deal with a boss or manager who we never exactly saw eye to eye with.

Knowing that keeping our job depended on keeping them happy, the most we could do was shrug off their irritating behavior, force a smile, and get on with our work.

Providing, of course, that their behavior didn't surpass the basic standards of human decency.

But when that happy day arrives that you find yourself with an even better job, and a boss whom you actually respect and admire, it gives you the opportunity to let your true feelings be known to your soon-to-be former employer.

While some choose to take the high road and leave as diplomatically as they came, others have no fear of leaving with a gesture that makes no effort whatsoever to hide their feelings.


Redditor Wholikesfruits was eager to hear people's stories of flipping their former bosses the bird, literally and metaphorically, leading them to ask:
"What was your final “f*ck you” to a boss you didn’t like?"

Time To Celebrate!!!

"My co-worker bought cake and ice cream for the office."

"Someone asked what we were celebrating.. and he said his last day."- garethrory

"Went to his office and told him 'I'm taking the trip no matter what'."

"The next morning the boss met me at hr and gave me a formal written warning."

"I responded by giving him my 2 week's notice."

"They apologized and tried to convince me not to leave but it was too late."- likn16

I'm Out!

"I worked at a dry cleaner for a summer."

"Front desk, cash under table type of job."

"I worked 50 hours one week and he told me he'd pay me time and a half for the OT."

"I go into work on payday and my cash envelope is not in the drawer."

"I called him and asked about it and he told me he couldn't pay me for my work yet."

"I kindly informed him that I was taking the money I was owed, and locking up the shop, and left."- DiamondHandDwight

To Think She Didn't Even Notice...

"My boss and I had butted heads a few times after she took over the office."

"After finding a much better job I handed her a list of my job responsibilities, which she asked for because she didn't understand what I did there."

"'This is too much, we'd have to distribute all this to like 4 different people'."

"And I said 'yea' and walked out."

"Spoiler: she didn't do any of that and was fired less than a year later as the office was falling apart."- ijustcomment

There's A Time And A Place...

"Working retail I quit at the register on Black Friday."

"I had recently gotten another full-time job and was keeping this retail gig because I liked the employee discount and due to my other job this check was pure fun money, all that is to say I didn't need the retail job."

"My store manager comes over at hour 7 of my shift, with chaos and a line 100 people long, and has the nerve to tell me my up-sales (fishing for promo signups, i.e. rewards, credit cards etc) weren't cutting it for how much traffic I was seeing."

"In front of the customers!"

"I already couldn't stand this B so I said, 'You know what you do it, I'm done' and then I apologized to my coworkers on the way out."- GreedoInASpeedo

You Made The Mess, You Clean It Up...

"As far as my life goes it was the sh*ttiest job I ever took."

"Long hours, a lot of crunch, no company vehicle and a lot of travel."

"Every time I'd go to a different site I would get like 20 different phone numbers for the various people I was communicating with."

"Anyway so all of the contacts for these people was on my company phone that was synched up to my personal Gmail (which stored all the phone numbers)."

"At some point management decided my job was redundant and decided to lay me off without notice and without severance."

"First thing I did was wipe my company phone clean before handing it over."

"A few days later they called me asking where all the contact information was stored."

"'Sorry I don't work for you anymore'."- garlicroastedpotato

No Man Left Behind...

"I worked hard over the course of a year to get all my former coworkers I cared about new jobs."- stebuu

No Uncertain Terms

"My exit interview when I was asked the reason for leaving."

"I simply said their name and nothing more."- mixologist998

The Game's Up!

"Sent them to the feds for Medicare fraud and they got fined 41.7 mil."

"This issue was important to me because the physicians were actively charting that their patients were at high risk for drug abuse, which was not the case."

"They'd drug test every patient every month who were prescribed opiates."

"The standard for high risk is based on the ORT, which lists things like requested early prescriptions (taking too much meds), prior negative test (likely selling on the street), etc."

"This company used stupid criteria, including but not limited to, drinking caffeinated beverages, being a current or former smoker, to place a patient in the high-risk category."

"All I could think of was how this would impact patients if they were to apply for a job with a need for over-the-top security clearance, or the patient who got in a fender bender and was on pain meds for a month, then ended up in a nasty divorce where their medical records were subpoenaed."

"This kind of sh*t wrecks people's lives, and for what?"

"Greed?"

"Yeah, nah."

"Not on board with that."

"When I 1st reported it to corporate compliance, I was sent home with or without pay (?) because I 'had a bad attitude'."

"After I got home, the HR manager called me."

"So I reported her to compliance for attempting to make an hourly staff engage in company business while off the clock and reported her to USDOL wage and hour division."

"She eventually got fired."

"And I got paid for the hours I was sent home."

"At that point, I didn't give a sh*t."

"They pissed me off, they were potentially ruining people's lives with the chart records, and I was being bullied by my employer."

"So I just started firing off chart notes from my desk."

"They eventually locked me out of the system, but by then I'd already found another job and knew I'd sent enough to bury them."

"If faced with the same sh*t again, I'd proceed the exact same way."

"As much as I'd like to have received a cut, at the end of the day I probably helped some patients avoid all kinds of disaster."

"And that's an awesome payout."- Darwina1226

Safety Of Others Over Blackmail...

"Mechanic at a commuter airline."

"Boss wanted me to sign off a plane pre-flight inspection."

"I refused to sign because the plane was not airworthy."

"He told me if I wished to continue working, then I'd better sign."

"My response: 'then I guess I don’t work here anymore'."

"I picked up my tool box and left."

"I did report it to the head of maintenance as well as the FAA."

"I cannot reveal the airline, but rest assured, they have been absorbed by other major airlines several times and are not flying these model of planes any longer."- Griffie

It's always a good idea to stay professional and keep your cool while at work.

But when you're no longer under their employ, nothing should stop you from letting your true feelings be known about a horrible, incompetent, possibly dangerous boss.
