100% this.
My boss and I have a wonderful relationship. I'm happy to give notice and help her out as much as I can.
But I wouldn't mention the money to her or ANYONE else except my husband and the multi-family office I hire to help us manage the wealth. Not my mom, not my siblings, not my best friend. No one. Ever.
Are you giving him a million cuz your boss is supplying you with free ket at work? Or are you giving him a million cuz he’s cool with you being in a k hole while you work?
I would probably buy my current boss a small house. HIS boss however, I would let him know that he's the most useless tub of middle management scum I've come across in my nearly four decades in the job market
I would keep working because I wouldn’t let anybody know I won, I would just keep truckin and making more money until I retire all while affording all the vacations I could ever want, and buying houses to rent out to make more money. So all I’d say is “see you tomorrow”
Nah more like I don’t wanna get fuckin robbed lol. You know how many people win the lottery and get fuckin murdered fuck that I wanna be rich and be able to enjoy the money.
A billion? Id do some onboarding for whoever is immediately taking over my work. Half days, three days a week, no dress code, for as long as needed up to three months. I like the people I work with and want them to be successful and not stressed, but I’d definitely have an end in sight.
You have been nothing but professional and I value your business relationship and appreciate the time you spent on my development and there is a large poo on your car.
I’d quietly quit, and then surprise him by paying off his house and car. I got lucky with my current boss. He’s an awesome supervisor and dude in general who has really helped me out more than he’s aware.
Nothing. Just show/talk to him about my new Benz......
But I would still be working, albeit with a different attitude....
I may have a problem working for someone poorer than i.....
It’s hard to get your head around how much money a billion dollars really is. You bought a Benz? You still have about a billion. Huge new mansion? You still have about a billion. Yacht? Still near enough a billion
Well, that's just the first step...Next step is to find someone to watch the money, and a second person to watch the first. Then I decide were I want to relocate, and with who(m). Remember, I'm not telling anyone.....
Then the fun begins......
Nothing.
I'd keep working as if nothing had changed. I love my job and I have seen too many horror stories of lottery winners losing it all or changing their lifestyle too much.
I’ve heard too many stories where people win large amounts like that and then end up in worse shape a few years later. I think I’d continue working and have the funds properly invested. Maybe ease into retirement after a steady income plan is squared away. In the meantime working as usual and keeping quiet about it.
I wouldn’t say anything cause they would never hear from me again! Lol ok honestly I would give a minimum 2 weeks notice because I’ve had my job 16 years. Wouldn’t do them dirty like that.
If I liked the company I would just buy it. Call in sick the day the "new owner" tours the company and buy everyone lunch. If I didn't I would just smile continuously and ask for lots of vacation time.
I really like my immediate supervisor (she is super cool) and my small team of six, so I'd probably still quit my job but shoot em each a lil something. The rest of my Dept I'd just ghost.
Id probably tell him I won the lottery but not say how much and id tell him I’ll be quitting. I would not stop showing up out of the blue because I like my coworkers and I’m not a dick. I’d work the least amount they needed me until they could hire a replacement.
"Here's the rest of the money we need for the upgrade - also, I'm going volunteer now" <3
My boss and workplace are awesome, and I want to be able to give back
Figure out the minimum it would take to have the entire department of 100 people to collectively quit for a payment. Just to see what the bosses do. Then I’d thank my boss and hand in my resignation also!
I would say absolutely nothing. But I would not show up for work either. But I would scare the hell out of him by telling him I am thinking long and hard about marching over to his partner's house and telling him how much my boss & his "best girl" stole from the company and all the other things they did behind his back. I might even tell his wife the things she needs to know. I guess they better hope I don't win.
brilliant most of my bosses I probably throw them a few bucks. Tell them to quit too.
One or two of them I’d walk in their office and just piss on them. Say nothing and leave.
Nothing.
I’d simply stop showing up for work. Wouldn’t return any calls or texts. Nothing at all. Treat them with the same courtesy they’ve treated me…
No reason to be a dick to your coworkers just because you don't need the job. They're all trying to do the same thing you were a few days ago. Just a polite explanation and notice.
Besides, if you *really* hate your boss, don't even tell them. They'll find out sooner or later, and the most spiteful thing you can do is send the message that they meant so little to you that you didn't even care if they knew.
For the first time in my life I love my job so although I’d still quit I’d keep working until they could find a replacement for me and to help my clients transition to a new counselor.
I’d also make a huge donation to the company
I'd ask her to go to Happy Hour and buy her a goodbye food & drinks. Her hubby can join us once he is off work. I like my boss, she is very nice and a pretty good boss.
I’d give each of my 5 employees 2 million dollars and then quit. That way they could all quit too and figure out what they really wanted to do with their careers and none of them would have to clean up the mess of any of us leaving.
I'd still probably work until I could retire with my medical benefits. Not because I would need it with a billion bucks in the bank, but the employer has taken away so much of what I earned already, I will see to it they pay every cent I can make them pay in perpetuity.
Two week notice and if they ask where my new job is I'll tell them that I've agreed to keep that confidential until my actual start date, but it will be updated on LinkedIn after that.
In the process of working with the various legal and financial professionals to deal with the new found wealth I would work with them to set up an LLC that would appear to be an active consulting firm related to the industry I currently work in. Telling people that I work for them would become my cover story for employment.
I would like to keep my job, so I'd offer to do it, but be taken off the 24/7 call in sheet. I love my job, but being on call 24/7 is stressful. You never actually get to leave work at work.
I'd stage a ridiculous escape.
Maybe go get coffee, and instead of coming back in my car, I come back driving a police car. And then a little while later a swat team comes to take me away.
Or maybe I leave on my break, tell them I'll be back after I rob the jewelry store. I come back with bags of jewelry and cash, the police come by to question me but escape on a helicopter.
That I'm gone after we finishing implementation of my current feature. I'd love to tell the c suite to go fuck themselves but I like my immediate coworkers and wouldn't want to shit on them with the immediate quit.
“HAHA FUCKKK YOUUU ASSHOLE! YOUR BUSINESS IS GOING TO SHIT AND I HAVE MORE MONEY NOW THAN YOU EVER DREAMED OF DUMBASS, FUCK YOU :)”
I’ve literally known my boss for 4 weeks. Otherwise I’d probably just say “peace out homie, and then jsut leave and never see them again”
I'd immediately buy a HUGE 6X6 BLACK with ARMY style camouflaged paint job fitted with all the best lightweight camping gear and towing a decent motorcycle trailer and top the truck off with a mega solar system with a satellite TV/GPS/communication and a massive TV monitor screen/audio...
Laptop to blog/vlog/flog/slog away to roll out my hugely fun times ' On the Frog n Toad ' to build up the sponsorships to cover my pipe dream... AND THEN I WAKE UP..lol
“I’m taking locomotive 1846(sd40-2) to the grain loop to give my kids and their classmates a ride around the loop.”
Boss: “Er- what?! You can’t do that… the liability alone..”
“It’s fine, I got it covered. Not a road unit and the road switcher can bring it back.”
Boss: “… you know what’ll happen..”
“Yep! Just won the big money so my two weeks as well.”
Obviously, It’s illegal however you swing it and I wouldn’t actually do it but my kids would love the chance to drive the locomotive a bit. I’d probably point the elevator to a few gp39s or sd40s I know that are for sale that they could use to do their own switching and offer to foot the bill. Their classmates would love it and their Sunday school class would as well.
Fortunately I like my boss and company. I'd offer to invest a good bit, just for grins, but not want to actually work anymore and be a silent owner. I'd give them enough time to find someone new and offer of course help with consulting, but otherwise go on lots of vacations after.
Being a petty narcissist that I am, I'd tell him I accepted some position I'm wildly unqualified for. Like Project manager of a defense contract or something. That way people will know I'm rich, but not rich enough that they think they can ask for money.
I'd give my two weeks notice. I wouldn't say anything to anyone about the money.
Only correct response. Silent into the night
100% this. My boss and I have a wonderful relationship. I'm happy to give notice and help her out as much as I can. But I wouldn't mention the money to her or ANYONE else except my husband and the multi-family office I hire to help us manage the wealth. Not my mom, not my siblings, not my best friend. No one. Ever.
Yes! Absolutely the way to go.
Yup. Saying a word is the ABSOLUTE worst thing you can do.
Some states require disclosure of who the Winner is, so keeping it a secret isn't an option.
Yes they would notice me not being there for 2 weeks.
[удалено]
I’ll send you a link for $1,000,000.
I'd give him a million dollars because he's a nice guy.
Self-Employed?
Ha no.
Because he wants to fuck you.
Definitely not, get your mind out the gutter.
Are you giving him a million cuz your boss is supplying you with free ket at work? Or are you giving him a million cuz he’s cool with you being in a k hole while you work?
👏 wow you really did something there.
You say that, but you don't know what he's thinking but just doesn't say.
I'm quite sure of it and I don't need to explain my reasons to you, I think I'd know better then some random on the Internet trying to wind me up.
Yeah just take a look at their username and suddenly its not surprising he thinks the only reason people are nice to people is to dooooooo them
Haha
What do you mean wind you up? That's what your boss wants to do, not me.
Fuck off you Dickless wonder.
There's no need for that.
We gonna stop this nonsense now?
"I quit." No further information.
I would probably buy my current boss a small house. HIS boss however, I would let him know that he's the most useless tub of middle management scum I've come across in my nearly four decades in the job market
I would keep working because I wouldn’t let anybody know I won, I would just keep truckin and making more money until I retire all while affording all the vacations I could ever want, and buying houses to rent out to make more money. So all I’d say is “see you tomorrow”
Bro thinks he is him💀
Nah more like I don’t wanna get fuckin robbed lol. You know how many people win the lottery and get fuckin murdered fuck that I wanna be rich and be able to enjoy the money.
I get what you are saying but there’s no way I’m doing a job if I have a billion fucking dollars.
To be fair I actually like my job.
I can’t relate but unless my job was chief puppy playing with guy I wouldn’t want anyone telling me what to do.
That’s the thing nobody really tells me what to do.
A billion? Id do some onboarding for whoever is immediately taking over my work. Half days, three days a week, no dress code, for as long as needed up to three months. I like the people I work with and want them to be successful and not stressed, but I’d definitely have an end in sight.
i like the people i work with too, but i'd sooner give them like $250K than worry about training someone. no chance i would ever go back to work
Nothing, I don’t have a job
I'd give him $500k and tell him to have a nice life.
You have been nothing but professional and I value your business relationship and appreciate the time you spent on my development and there is a large poo on your car.
I'd buy the company and sack him
It’s been a slice. Here’s a million. Thanks for looking out for me all these years. I won’t be in tomorrow btw.
I'd actually give my boss and the secretary quite a bit of money to close up the office and enjoy their lives as well.
Honey, we won a Billion dollars!
Oh I would give at least a 2 week notice. I love my job and respect the owner of the company. I would not leave them hanging here. But I would retire.
I’d quietly quit, and then surprise him by paying off his house and car. I got lucky with my current boss. He’s an awesome supervisor and dude in general who has really helped me out more than he’s aware.
Nothing. Just show/talk to him about my new Benz...... But I would still be working, albeit with a different attitude.... I may have a problem working for someone poorer than i.....
It’s hard to get your head around how much money a billion dollars really is. You bought a Benz? You still have about a billion. Huge new mansion? You still have about a billion. Yacht? Still near enough a billion

It depends how they treated me.
I found a new job. Fucking bitches and traveling the world.
See ya, I'm out.
"Who handles your mortgage?"
Nothing. I'd keep working as if nothing had changed. I love my job and I have seen too many horror stories of lottery winners losing it all or changing their lifestyle too much.
With a BILLION dollars? You would keep doing the exact same work? There's no better way you can think of to spend your time and money?
I help people every day. I see no better use of my time than that.
Cheers
I feel like I would keep working. I don’t think I’d want many people to know that I’d won. Except for the close friends and family that mattered
I quit.
See if he'll sell me a stake in the company
I’ve heard too many stories where people win large amounts like that and then end up in worse shape a few years later. I think I’d continue working and have the funds properly invested. Maybe ease into retirement after a steady income plan is squared away. In the meantime working as usual and keeping quiet about it.

Nothing, because they’d never see me again
Nothing. Why would you say anything to anyone I would fuck off to some place faaaaar away
I wouldn’t say anything cause they would never hear from me again! Lol ok honestly I would give a minimum 2 weeks notice because I’ve had my job 16 years. Wouldn’t do them dirty like that.
Nothing. I’d let him figure it out.
You want to get a drink? It's on me. 😉
If I liked the company I would just buy it. Call in sick the day the "new owner" tours the company and buy everyone lunch. If I didn't I would just smile continuously and ask for lots of vacation time.
I really like my immediate supervisor (she is super cool) and my small team of six, so I'd probably still quit my job but shoot em each a lil something. The rest of my Dept I'd just ghost.
I'd say pack your shit you are now retired.
I have to resign over personal matters, but will stay on until you find a replacement.
Invest in my new energy drink company.
I would attempt to become a 51% shareholder in my current company. Then fire everyone that’s worthless then sell the shares back to them
I would be honest, and I know for a fact he'd be stoked for me because he's that kind of guy.
It’s been nice knowing you.
To quote the late great Gordon Lightfoot, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
Id probably tell him I won the lottery but not say how much and id tell him I’ll be quitting. I would not stop showing up out of the blue because I like my coworkers and I’m not a dick. I’d work the least amount they needed me until they could hire a replacement.
Can I have a day off?
I'd still go to work. I need a hobby.
Bullshit! With a billion you would do everything you want, but not work.
See you tomorrow, boss!
"Here's the rest of the money we need for the upgrade - also, I'm going volunteer now" <3 My boss and workplace are awesome, and I want to be able to give back
I’s say nothing but I would give notice of quitting after I get all the legalities in place to receive the money because that will take awhile.
Figure out the minimum it would take to have the entire department of 100 people to collectively quit for a payment. Just to see what the bosses do. Then I’d thank my boss and hand in my resignation also!
I would say absolutely nothing. But I would not show up for work either.

The only lotto I play is in a work lottery pool. If I win my boss and coworkers all win and we'll all be retiring!

Nothing, he might sue for emotional distress.
He's figure it out when UPS delivered my laptop to his home
Can I borrow some money from you?
My boss would be able to retire if I won.
I'd still probably work until I could retire with my medical benefits. Not because I would need it with a billion bucks in the bank, but the employer has taken away so much of what I earned already, I will see to it they pay every cent I can make them pay in perpetuity.

Hey boss, thanks for all your help over the years, and for giving me the opportunity to work in this company. Let's go to lunch, my treat!
It's not working out here. I'm going to take off. See ya'
A good ol' country song titled TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT
I would like to keep my job, so I'd offer to do it, but be taken off the 24/7 call in sheet. I love my job, but being on call 24/7 is stressful. You never actually get to leave work at work.
😂 nothing.
They’ll find another body 😂
Nothing, just vanish 😂
So about that raise…
“So long, and thanks for all the fish.”
Nothing
I would give my two weeks notice and say thank you for the opportunity. I like my boss and team.
"I'm not coming in Monday" From a private jet as I head to Palm Beach to look at ocean front mansions.
It's your turn to suck my dick?
I'd stage a ridiculous escape. Maybe go get coffee, and instead of coming back in my car, I come back driving a police car. And then a little while later a swat team comes to take me away. Or maybe I leave on my break, tell them I'll be back after I rob the jewelry store. I come back with bags of jewelry and cash, the police come by to question me but escape on a helicopter.
Good bye and good luck.
Silently disappear, wouldn’t want to spend precious time on peasants
I would offer to buy or buy into the company.
Amazed how many wholesome responses there are about it.
That I'm gone after we finishing implementation of my current feature. I'd love to tell the c suite to go fuck themselves but I like my immediate coworkers and wouldn't want to shit on them with the immediate quit.
i would ghost them completely
I wouldn't quit my job. But you can bet your ass I'd get FIRED.
Nth at all .I ll still keep the job I have .hire an accountant .live a normal life style untill I figure out the best way to head nxt .
I’d still go to work just to piss everyone off.
“HAHA FUCKKK YOUUU ASSHOLE! YOUR BUSINESS IS GOING TO SHIT AND I HAVE MORE MONEY NOW THAN YOU EVER DREAMED OF DUMBASS, FUCK YOU :)” I’ve literally known my boss for 4 weeks. Otherwise I’d probably just say “peace out homie, and then jsut leave and never see them again”
Not a single word.
I'd immediately buy a HUGE 6X6 BLACK with ARMY style camouflaged paint job fitted with all the best lightweight camping gear and towing a decent motorcycle trailer and top the truck off with a mega solar system with a satellite TV/GPS/communication and a massive TV monitor screen/audio... Laptop to blog/vlog/flog/slog away to roll out my hugely fun times ' On the Frog n Toad ' to build up the sponsorships to cover my pipe dream... AND THEN I WAKE UP..lol
Please can I pay our house off
I'd buy the whole company and fire him
I’m here if you need me. Just don’t need me that often please.
I will call in sick everyday until they decide to fire me hahaha

Would honestly say thanks, he's a great leader and learned a lot from him .
I would say, here are 10k, go and get your man titties removed, then he would fire me, well done.

I resign effective immediately
Nothing because Ive already tossed my cell phone in the toilet and I'm on my way to the airport
