The only times I've quit my job has been to move onto other work/school and they were pretty amicable; I still keep in touch with my old EB Games managers. I had a friend who got fed up with the bullshit we put up with at a call-center and decided to see how long it would take them to fire him. He figured out the absolute minimum amount of work he would have to do to not have customers complain about him and spent the other 90% of his time doing whatever he wanted while getting paid to do it. He lasted a year and a half before getting fired and was able to argue well enough with the government to get a years worth of EI.
