It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

That's awesome! Congrats!!! Did you give your notice to your current job? Thanks! Not yet, I will do that tomorrow. Still awake trying to think about the best choice of words... you know, other than "you're all bat shit crazy and I don't want to watch this ship sink." I don't think they will take this very well. I'd stick with something along the lines of an opportunity that you couldn't turn down. Good luck tomorrow!

But if you do "I quit!" on your butt, please let us know.

Yeah that! But if you do "I quit!" on your butt, please let us know. I might have to add that to my bucket list. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using proboards

Congratulations! What a great opportunity for you.
I'd also go along the lines of opportunity you couldn't pass up, allows for better work/life balance, etc (with the shorter commute and extra week of vacation time, that's an absolute truth).

You'll have to let us know how they took it. Badly... The Pres cried and asked how much I wanted to keep me. I resisted laughing like Dr. Evil and asking for $1 million. They were both very nice about it, but clearly unhappy. They asked me not to tell the staff until tomorrow.
