> Anyway the boss stared me in the face in the meeting and called me a liar, to shut up and get to work. What. The. Fuck. You are a less violent person than I

  I think instantly walking out was a mistake, however. As sqldba said, it left them penniless, and they didn't appear to have any documentation of what was going on. I, personally, would have taken the lower road and continued coasting there to pay my rent while I searched for a new job. If a company isn't invested in you, why should you be invested in the company?

    It is a very positive, strong ethical position to take. I doubt that I would have had the fortitude to react in the same way as the GP. Coasting with the company while finding a new job shows an ethical attitude which is similar to the company itself.

      I don't think there's anything wrong with staying at a company while looking for a new job. Do you disagree, or is it specifically the mention of "coasting" that's objectionable? I.e. it's possible to continue to do your job within normal parameters while still looking for the next thing. Defining this as ethically dubious gives too much power to employers, IMHO.

        And in fact, "coasting" was a normal parameter at that particular job.
