Easiest way i think would be to screw up deliverables, show up late,(like noon everyday) show up drunk. Etc. will let u go and collect unemployment. Dont shower or shave or use deoderant for a week. Wear a dress if male or suit and tie if female. Start bringing your pet goldfish to client meetings. Roll a fat joint in the conference room. If ya gotta go, go big and drop the mic.

My VP keeps asking for next year’s roadmap but every week wants it formatted differently and it’s driving me crazy. They don’t seem to know what they want and I have so much else to do than tweak the layout and colors and notations a few times each week. When I’ve asked what format and level of info the CTO prefers, my VP says they don’t know and I need to be okay with ambiguity. I’m losing any patience and good will I had.
