Should I or should I not?

If I quietly offer to bang the HR lady, do you think it will save my job for a few more months? I'm 2 months from paying my house off and I really would like to get it done. It would eliminate $2818 a month for me. Any advice?

Anyone quit on the job?

Anyone got to a job site and quit? What happened when the job couldn't occur for the client? They don't give notice when firing so why not make it worth your while if you find something else?

For people who got laid off
