Please don't do that. There's a chance your boss might say, "wow, that<br>
sounds like a good opportunity. You should take it." Or, worse, blows<br>
smoke up your arse to keep you, and puts you on the "disloyal minion" list,<br>
meaning you're first on the list for all the shit jobs, and the next layoff.<br>
