[quote=Anonymous]I posted before that I'm quitting my job with an employer who is toxic. He has a high turnover of employees and contractors because no one can stand him for long and whenever he's given advance notice that someone is resigning, he'll go out of his way to cause them embarrassment on the way out. So I decided to not give notice (or maybe just a few days). Then last week something happened (due to his usual bad attitude) and I told him that I'm going to quit and mentioned the exact date that will be my last. That was a mistake. I am 100% certain that as soon as he finds a replacement, he will say or do something to try and humiliate me. I'm definitely still quitting and I don't mind that he knows that but I just didn't want him to know exactly when until right before the day.

If I can figure out a way to muddy the waters about the date I've given him then it will work out fine as he probably can't enact whatever punishment he's planning. With previous employees who have quit, he's always wreaked his "revenge" during the last few days. Let's say that I've told him I'm leaving with 2 weeks notice and an exact date. I'm thinking of telling him now that instead of quitting in 2 weeks, I'll leave in 4 weeks. Then around the 3 week mark, I'll tell him that I'm taking vacation for the remaining time. Does that sound reasonable? What would I tell him now, is the reason for changing the date? I don't want him to think that I'm staying longer because I don't have a choice as that's not the reason. Any other ideas/advice?[/quote]
