A good way to get fired?

Question

I work in IT and have been offered a job by a competitor for a lot more money...and a guaranteed 2 year contract.

The problem is that my current employer has me on a contract requiring 6 months notice if I wish to leave, and my new employer has told me to find any way to get out of it.

My plan, and I am being deadly serious...

I go in early at 6am each day to set up the IT systems, which includes a stint at the CEO's desk, setting up her computer for the 8 hours ahead. She has a camera in there, and also stores my screen movements. I know this as each day she always has something to comment on...such as I 'should not really use her computer to check the golf scores' and that she saw me on the camera drinking coke at her desk etc....

I plan tomorrow to fire up her computer and load up my Facebook, on which I have her hot 23 year old daughter as a friend. I then plan to sit in full view of her camera, go through her daughters pictures and literally knock one out...leaving the resulting sticky fluid on her computer mouse...and vacate...and start my day in my office.

She will then find the mess, check her screen captures, her security camera...and find out what I did. I then hope she will come in and fire me.

Sound like a plan? I am all for it...but want some opinions first!

Answer 1

If you did that at my desk, I would press charges. No one wants your nasty bodily fluids in their office. Just miss work without calling in for a couple of days.

Answer 2

Don't do it. Instead of doing something so childish, negotiate with your present employer to get out of your contract. It will not be hard to replace you, as there are tons of people looking for such work. You might even be let out of your contract, no penalty, no foul. No employer wants an employee that is eager to leave.



If you play these pranks, you may find yourself under prosecution for criminal mischief, in addition to being retained until the matter is resolved. Worst scenario, you may find a judgment against you to pay for the training and salary of your replacement until 6 months from now, since you did not give notice in good faith.



Speak with an employment attorney if you can. It's possible that an employer cannot require such a lengthy notice in your state, from someone at your pay level.

Answer 3

Like Roderick said, get advice of a lawyer then talk to your employer. In fact, this is a perfect time to learn about the next contract you will sign. 6 months does sound like a long time. Try to negotiate for better terms.

Answer 4

I was going to tell you to do this but then i kept reading and you were actually going to follow through with this so hey go for it and maybe talk about doing her too while you are at it



JK don't do that man it will probably not get you that other job because they will talk to this employer and might actual charge you with a crime of some sort so maybe ask her daughter on a date and screw that up i mean IDK i don't usually give this advice at all but hey if you want to do it go for it but then you could end up in jail for indecent exposure so maybe just subtle like messing up files not meeting deadlines that kind of stuff not so gross (literally and figuratively)
