Talking to the Wall

Yesterday, I managed to reduce my long notice period from 2 months to about 3 weeks. Here's how I did it:

First, I miffed the big big boss by answering his question on "why are you leaving?". I decided to be candid when he incessently prodded me for a specific answer while I was trying to help him save face by giving generalised answers. My candid answers were of course not accepted by him (like how he fires staff, how decisions are made and remade and remade). And so it was as if I was talking to a wall. I had no effect.

The wall had all sorts of deflections for my "accusations". Apparantly he perceives that numerous companies out there do the same bag checking thing and escorting of staff when they are leaving. (erronous reasoning since he picks and chooses whom he deems potential criminals.) Then the wall basically turned a deaf ear to the decision making point and simply answered with a dumb question "what's wrong with the way I make decisions?" In the end, he brushed it all off with the comment that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

So I miffed him. Then I miffed him again by asking the smaller boss for permission to leave earlier instead of going straight to the big boss. Ha! In doing so, I irritated the big boss enough that he would not want to keep me longer. So when I asked him yesterday afternoon, he did not fight me.

FREEDOM..... HERE I COME!!!!
