I realized after about 3 months I don like the new job much and my boss is a bit of a self inflated jackass when he's not wiping the water from behind his ears. I thought maybe after a 2 week trip to Europe I would come back recharged and ready to give it hell once I go back. Not the case.

After getting back and working 3 days, my boss called me into his office and asked why I had not reached my sales number for the week, I explained that I know I missed it buy 18% but I was 2 days short in the week, my boss in return asked me is and I quote "would you like your unborn child to think of their father as a loser or someone gives up??" (my wife is expecting in March)

Thats was about the last straw and I did up a letter of resignation and went into the office first thing the next morning. I asked if I could get 2 minutes of his time at which time I told him about giving my notice and gave him my letter. To which he replied "I dont have time for this bulls**t, go home and I will call you later this week"

As I was walking out of the building I was called back into his office at which time both sales managers decided to talk to me like I was there 5 year old child. Telling me how stupid I was for doing this, how "bush league" it is for me to quit after being back f3 weeks from vacation, thats Im a "pathetic, waste of time", "will never make as much money anywhere else".

At this time I reminded them both that they have said time and time again that if you dont like coming to work or your job to do them a favor and quit, and that I was only doing EXACTLY what they had asked to be done. To which one replied "your ######ing pathetic, get out of my face".

Its funny how 3 years of solid work means nothing to people and that they cant take the fact that someone is trying to better themselves. A shame really for a fortune 500 company thats rated one of Canada's top 50 employers.

Long story short, I have been fishing 4 days this week and Im still getting pay cheques until Spet. 30 from those guys

Translation: You were a great salesman who made your company lots of money. Now they will have to find someone else and are pissed off about it.

It always baffles me that managers can never grasp that they can't treat people anyway they want and expect them to continue breaking their backs.

The thing about sales is that if you are great at it, you can make money working just about anywhere. You will most likely be able to make as much or more money somewhere else.

If you've burned your bridges already and this company is as big as you suggest, I'd consider reporting these managers to the company. If they did in fact use explicitives, this could be a big deal for them. Although I'm guessing you may be at the point where you just want to walk away and forget the whole thing.
