Bosses, Brace Yourselves. Employees Are...


-- Quitting, but offering to come back as consultants at three times their former salaries.

-- Getting revenge on disliked bosses by spouting off to H.R. during exit interviews--or spreading the word via e-mail to senior execs.

-- Asking for incentive bonuses--just to stay the old, required two weeks.

-- Giving two week's notice and then spending the time informing colleagues about how exciting and lucrative their new jobs are.

-- Giving retroactive notice by telling their managers on Friday that they quit as of the prior Monday.

-- Poaching their old departments to staff the new startups they are joining.

-- Going on dinner breaks--and never coming back.
