I'm quitting my job

Yes, people do it here once in a while, so I thought, "why not"?
So I'm moving to another company to work as webdesiiiiigner (shut up you). They pay better (a liiittle bit better) and have all sorts of nice compensations and things that give you a nice warm sensation of security when leaving the office in the end of the day, which wasn't the case with my actual job, which sucks.

And now I have to tell my boss that I'm quitting. And things are gonna get really ugly, because I'm leaving in a pretty delicate moment for the company. I anticipate arguments over "loyalty" and things like that. Anyway, wish me luck, I'll certainly need it.

P.S.:Oh, and I dont know if there's any internet access in my new work, so my lame contributions to the board might be interrupted for a good while (ah, the bright side in everything), so let me just tell you all now how wonderful you people are, all of you. You helped me to get through last year, gave me shiny new pieces to redecorate my skull furniture - I could go on but that would be insulting. Bye for now, Barbelith people. You freaks.

(Holds breath. Leaps.)

Yeah! You hardly know me, but best of luck.

Y'know, I believe it is possible to get an internet connection from one's own domicile these days ... :-)

best of luck mate- definitely wouldn't waste any emotional juice over the loyalty thing- I've yet to come across a company that's anything other than briskly efficient when it comes to dealing with people. And there's probably never gonna be a non-delicate time for leaving

hey, good luck buddy. And don't let your new job take too much of your time, we'll miss your writings and drawings and music and all the cool stuff you can do

oh, and btw, how did that show last night go?

Leaving the company in it's darkest hour? You should be ashamed.

Best of luck. I just left my job after fourteen years, well I would say faithful service, but it was more like 14 years of skiving, slacking and stealing. Thought my boss was going to cry, though.

You have to do what's best for you, of course. And do come back - I remember you being in a similar situation to myself last year, it's good to see you got through it.

Er, so...

The nasties I work for went all "wai-wai-wait, let's see what we can arrange for you, we want you to stay".
So they made a nice counter-proposal (with everything the other company had to offer PLUS the Barbelith-all-day bonus, and I said I would think about it (but I`ll stay. I just love the suspense).
Thanks for your thoughts, people. And now I'm off, I gotta eat something...

Congratulations on the better deal! (I've been rationalizing staying at my current somewhat sucky but horribly convenient job "because I haven't learned everything there is to know here...")

Now is the time to be a little careful - if there's a vat-dyed cynic in the management, you've just been branded as being available to the highest bidder and may be seen as less than loyal even though you've stayed.
