To leave one's terrible
job with no concern for consequences. It requires leaving a terrible
job: a situation, occupation or some personal or professional conflict that creates a nightmare scenario. It also requires a massively awesome action or
set of actions upon your resignation, demonstrating to all and sundry that you now have absolutely no concern whatever about whether or not your
ex- piece of crap company gives you a reference, whether they
don't like you, whether they
will talk about you, or anything else. A superquit is unsuccessful if you do something illegal on the way out and get caught. A superquit is a statement of release and freedom, a strike
back against ever-increasing corporate tyranny and wage slavery.
The Setup: Your company was sold. The
new owner is a hellacious little bean counter. The company culture and morale are completely ruined in a
single month. No more insurance, no more
IRA, no more bonuses, no more raises, no more working from home - just a lot of
politics and backstabbing instead. Within two years you earn a new degree and find a new
job.
The Superquit: Schedule two weeks of vacation. On your first day out of the office, log in remotely and send an email to the entire staff describing in detail the new owner's ruination of the company. Give your two weeks' notice in this email, refusing any exit interview. Take out an entire-page
ad in the
local newspaper telling the public to beware of them. Hire a dog walker to bring your dog into the lobby and crap on the company's floor. Then have the dog walker crap on the floor. Hire someone else to vandalize the boss's
car. Spend an entire week answering scam emails with return email addresses from your
old company. Post negative opinions on any website where they were mentioned. Bring all intellectual property with you to your new company - their competitor, if it cannot be proven where it came from. Contact all the clients you used to service, to let them know you're now at another company. In 4 years, the
old company
will be of business.
