I had such a time quitting my first job.

Me – I have decided to part ways with the company. Here's my 2 week notice. Let's work out a transition plan.

Manager – You can't do that! We have to ship this project by end of quarter. There's no way we will be able to find a replacement in time.

Me – Well that's unfortunate, but my end date isn't flexible.

Manager – Let me discuss this with [director] and get back to you.

Me – There is nothing to discuss. I'm not asking for permission.

And then he had the audacity to switch up the project dates and suggest that I work overtime and finish all the work before leaving.
