    A message from someone else.

    My boss is a Sociopath, in the real sense.

    I need to get out of here. I have needed to get out of here for years. I needed to get out of here the day I got into here, but you try talking to the you of 10 years ago, giving them a shake and asking why they didn’t see.

    The friends once abundant left, one by one, off to work for non-Sociopathic bosses. Pints, now fleeting. Questions growing “Why are you still there?” With every departed, like clockwork a pay-raise with promises of future expansion and long-term plans.

    The office is dirty, empty. My PSU fan is on the way out, but if I kick it just right.

    Today I had a job interview.

    Tomorrow I have to call and tell them I want it, and yes I can start next week.

    Friday is my last day.

    There will be no notice - it would be a week working for nothing. There will be no p45 - that would be admitting defeat. There will be no thank-you’s for your loyalty during the last 10 years.

    Good, **** him. Wish me luck guys.

    Re: A message from someone else.

    Errrr, "no notice" ? Be aware that (IIRC) if you have a contract and you simply walk out, he could sue you for money equal to notice period !

    Anyway, good luck, and welcome back to the human race
    Cheers, David

    The OP sounds like the intro to a Mike Hammer episode . Never look back; good luck.

    He'd have to show actual loss as a result.

    Good luck to you & sorry for your lack of appreciatedness. Give the PSU an extra kick for luck on your way out. All the best in your new infinitely superior job.

    Not quite right. He could in theory sue for all losses as a result of a breach of contract. In theory that could be millions of pounds for someone on minimum wage walking out 1 day early.

    In practice, a previous employer almost never pursues an ex employee over losses. Usually, if they owe you money, they just deduct money equal to the unserved notice from that.
