I love my job. I really do. But I've had jobs I did not love. I've just quit and moved on.

I guess Australians are known to take a different approach.

NASTY boss? Planning to quit? Your fellow Australians expect you to exit with flair.

Like Sean, who was handed a $10 Christmas bonus after achieving the second-highest year-end sales figures at a golf retailer. "I walked up to my boss, tucked the $10 into his shirt pocket and said: 'Look, I know how difficult it was for you for part with this so here, put it towards some petrol or something.' Then I walked out."

Olivia's boss lodged a client's tax return late, incurring a $30 fee from the Tax Office. Her boss wrote to another partner: "Peter, we can recoup this from [the client's] fees." When she resigned she sent a copy of the letter to the auditor.

Anthony swears he knows someone who resigned from his bank job by submitting his resignation written on a banana peel. "I imagine it's still in their files."

Megan worked in a barber shop where the boss kept hitting on her. "One day he asked for a free haircut. He was making suggestive remarks so I put a bald strip down the middle of his head."

Personally, I like the one dealing with reorganizations.
