Sliding the chute

Quitting a job in dramatic fashion.

Etymology: Phrase derived from the actions of Steven Slater, a JetBlue airlines employee who, after being abused verbally and physically by a passenger while the plane was on the ground, used the plane's intercom system to curse out the passenger. Then he grabbed a beer from the beverage cart and deployed an emergency escape slide to jump from the plane.
