Hi, what do I say to my boss on my last day of work??

My cocky nerd boss has been nothing but mean to me and belittled me and this wednesday is my last day here and I want to say something to him that is mean but not rude. I really don't care about burning bridges anymore. Ever since he found out that I was leaving, he has told several people that he "had to let me go" which we all know is BS! I quit! He's just such a jerk and I just want to say something to him without cussing or anything, but something that sortof shocks him. He used to be so nice, but now, it has all changed. I just don't know what to do anymore. I know I should let it go and not worry about it but I just want him to realize how much he has really hurt my feelings by belittling me and other co-workers (ofcourse I would not say their name). What do I say!?

Answer:
Tell him exactly what you just wrote..be honest, and don't be rude cause you never know when you might need reference for future jobs. Be the bigger person.
*with a really sarcastic smile/tone of voice*


it's been really nice working with you, you've been such an inspiration to me and others, it will be SUCH a shame to leave.

make sure the sarcasm gets across. otherwise you'll boost his ego further (that kind always have trouble seeing, as their egos droop down over their eyes.)
Present him with a basket of lemons as a parting gift
kick him in the balls and run
just walk out with your dignity. It's not worth causing a scene or making enemies. What goes around comes around.
i would kill him with kindness..
on your last day, make sure you say in front of everyone how much you will miss everyone and thank your boss for the experience and that you're sorry there was a misunderstanding about your quitting/being fired.
make sure what you say is in front of people so you come off looking like the bigger person!
if hes be getting to u all this time there little u can do to get to him, be happy in knowing if hes like that he will get his own, walk away with your dignity.
Nothing. Get over it. It is a sign of maturity to forgive and forget. Concentrate on your new job.where and whenever that might be. That's far more constructive and rewarding.
How about something like this:

Boss, tell me one thing. You used to be nice, but lately you've been a real SOB. (Give examples here.) A big part of the reason I am leaving is because I can't stand working for you any more. Others here have similar feelings.

What happened to you? (Wait for answer.)

I hope you can get yourself straightened around. My life is too short to deal with people like you.

(Smile and leave.)
Best to say nothing at all; you never can tell where the future will lead you, and when this cocky nerd of a boss might pop up again in your life (future employers calling for an employment reference might talk to him, he might end up at a company you later may go to work for, etc.) He's not going to change HIS ways, and you already KNOW he's a jerk; just walk away from the whole ugly situation and know your life is changing for the better..
Hi boss, you have been such a good boss. forgive me for not appreciating your strengths. today, it is my last day of work. looking back, i think i must have a good temper to work in such a condition. thanks boss. LOLS. life will be boring without your sarcasm. i am sure goingg to miss it.

SAY IT NICELY BUT EMPHASIZING ON THE WORDS THAT ARE SARCASTIC
I would def. say something to him about how unprofessional he has been through this whole thing. But nothing nasty.you really dont want to burn bridges (even though you say you dont care anymore), its a bad thing to do and its more unprofessional than what your boss is doing to you now. You need to be the bigger person - that is the biggest slap in the face you could give him. Just walk out of there with your head held high.and dont look back
tell him that your very excited about leaving, and starting your new job. tell him that he has made you a better person because of his attitude and criticism. that you are now confident you can face anything or work with any type of people. something like that, you want to be mean, yet professional. good luck!
I would say " well its been great workin here holdin myself back from bettering myself, Iam very fortunate to realize that this company will get me nowhere.
tell him it is a blessing to not be working with a know it all who is not even close to being perfect.
I wouldn't say anything at all to him. I would go to my Human Resources (HR) representitive and file a formal complaint about the way he has been treating you and your co-workers. If it's revenge you are after, that would be the most effective way of doing so. You are less likely to burn any bridges that way too.
Say to him "Too bad you were not nicer to me I would have had sex with you if you had been."
Ignore him. He seems to want your attention, perhaps to one-up you, or for some other strange reason. Depriving him of your attention will burst his bubble and deflate his sense of self-importance.
It never pays to burn bridges, especially if you will be working in the same industry in your next job. I would definitely make it a point to say how much you will miss your co-workers and that you feel it's very unfortunate that your relationship with him as your boss wasn't a better one. "It was very difficult working with you, but I wish you well in the future." That way, you still come out the bigger person and you were just being honest.
DON'T BURN THAT BRIDGE!

The job you go to may not be the one you have for the rest of your life. And judging from what you have said, you will probably never go back to this employer.

But should you ever be in the job market again your current boss will be used as a reference check. Why give him a reason to to try and sabotage you in the future even more than he otherwise would?

Leave as gracefully as possible.
Unless we hear his side of the story, we can't come to a conclusion. Who knows.. maybe you were a bad employee and his actions were justified.
