In today's economy it is much easier to lose your job than it has been in the past. There are a number of people ready and willing in the wings waiting for your position to open up. If you begin each day a little slower than others and arrive at work 15 minutes to an hour late that would be a good start. Make sure that you arrive late to staff meetings or perhaps skip them altogether. Mentioning how much weight either your boss or his or her spouse has gained might help you achieve your goal as well. If you work in a cubicle make sure you take care of all of your personal business on company time using the company telephone, cell phone or computer. Call friends and have lengthy conversations so that all can hear about how much you dislike your co-workers, boss and place of employment in general. Don't show up to work at all every once in awhile and when you return tell them you decided to work from home because you are more productive. If your company has a dress code be sure to dress the exact opposite of what is required. If you are supposed to wear a suit show up in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

If you do all of the above mentioned things you should be out of a job in no time. It won't take your boss long at all to write you up and start you on the path of termination. Soon you will be staying up late and sleeping in. You have taken your life back. I hope you have a great trust fund because you are going to need it.
