A few months ago, a very disgruntled flight attendant made a spectacular resignation from his job by throwing a tantrum on a plane, sliding down the escape slide and running away.

It bought him some attention, but it also brought him a lawsuit and a fine. Seems airlines don't like it much when you use the emergency chute when it's not an emergency.

However, his huge scene did inspire a lot of people, who are so sick of their jobs that they're wanting to just give up and leave.

But there are right ways and wrong ways to quit your job, once you've made the decision to look elsewhere.

When you're wanting to seek other employment, do:

1. Make sure there's nothing else you can be doing where you currently work. Have a talk with your boss about advancing your career. There might be a position that your boss has been considering, but did not know if any employees might be interested. Give your current job a chance, before just quitting it. 

2. Take a look at your job skills. It might be that somehow you've landed a job that does not really match up with what you like to do. Your job skills might be better suited somewhere else.

3. Decide if you're making enough money, and if you're not, approach your boss for a payraise. If you're not making enough to keep your bills paid and your family fed, and your boss isn't able or willing to pay you more, then it might be time to look elsewhere. 

4. Do you really want to move on, or are you just bored? If you're stifled creatively and mentally, start looking elsewhere.

5. If you've decided to leave your job, do it properly. Make sure you have a new job waiting first -- it's never good to be unemployed. And once you have that new job confirmed, give plenty of notice where you work now. Two weeks is standard; a month is generous. More than that, you're just a pain to your current employer, and you stand the risk of being told to leave that day. Remember, once you give that notice, your employer is under no obligation to keep you.

So, are you going to stay or are you going to go? Good luck in your decisions, and here's hoping you make the right ones!
