What a way to go (slide guy update pg. 9)

Fed-Up Flight Attendant Makes Sliding Exit
On Monday, on the tarmac at Kennedy International Airport, a JetBlue attendant named Steven Slater decided he had had enough, the authorities said.

After a dispute with a passenger who stood to fetch luggage too soon on a full flight just in from Pittsburgh, Mr. Slater, 38 and a career flight attendant, got on the public-address intercom and let loose a string of invective.

Then, the authorities said, he pulled the lever that activates the emergency-evacuation chute and slid down, making a dramatic exit not only from the plane but, one imagines, also from his airline career.

On his way out the door, he paused to grab a beer from the beverage cart. Then he ran to the employee parking lot and drove off, the authorities said.

He was arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens, a few miles from the airport, and charged with felony counts of criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.

Mag-fucking-nificent

Everyone secretly wants to do this or something like it, but we rarely do. Attaining mythical hero status amongst your former colleagues does not put food on the table!

Have you ever made a grand exit? What were the consequences? For example, when I was 18 I told my boss off for being a rude asshole (he was) in front of the other employees, and then quit. It felt pretty good but I didn't find another job for three months.

    I think this is the last summer I'm going to be spending at this place I've worked on-and-off as my schooling permitted for like the last three years

    our employee handbook specifically forbids "feats of strength"

    I don't know what I'm going to do, but these two elements are going to come together in a grandiose way

    I have a cult living in my town.

    I have been invited over several times.

    It's terrifying over there.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7atLDcVUg

    They were watching this...

    I wanted to be polite so me and my friend watched the whole thing.

    Part of me wanted to scream and run around tearing my eyes out.

    i quit a job once in a haughty fashion

    I was the only one working, out of everyone in the store I was the only one actually doing their job, everyone else was on a smoke break or goofing off or just being generally useless

    told them either they help or I'd quit

    then I was told that the store was understaffed so I needed to work late that night
    I said nuh uh, I have a final exam tomorrow at like 8 am remember
    I told you
    see here's the piece of paper where you agreed to me having exams, signed by you over 2 months ago
    see there's your signature, mister owner slash manager


    nope Rane you have to work

    welp

    and right then
    I did quit

    telling several people to go fuck themselves before quitting on the spot and walking out of the place, rendering it unable to deal with the rush of customers. They had to close up for the day because they couldn't deal. The place was woefully badly run to begin with and the only person that actually WORKED leaving without notice made them seize up and shut down

    8-) I cost them a shitload of money, bam
