Since I am my boss, I'd tell myself to fsck off. 😉

Anyhow, I'd sell my stores and retire. 🙂
 
I just wouldn't come back to work. I wouldn't call or anything. I'd just go collect my check and then leave on vacation somewhere to plan out my options.
 
considering that I;'m a grad student now. I'd take next year off and then apply to PhD programs instead of sending in my applications in a few months.
 
- Bust my arse at work for the next 3 months

- Kiss arse to anyone with an arse

- Get nominated/win employee of the quarter

- During company wide meeting after my name is called to receive the award I would walk up drop trow and moon the entire company. I would then give everyone the spaceballs salute and say "Fvck all you, I'm going home"
 
Hmm, depends. I see some problems - coming in and just walking around until I'm fired, well, it'd make a lot of people jealous/mad. Giving money to a lot of people - it'd make those who didn't get it feel left out.
Maybe just plain quit. Call in, say "I quit, not coming in again." If they ask why, I'll explain. 🙂


Although......one of our bosses drives a Miata. I think that the hydraulic lift we use in receiving (Walmart) could lift a Miata; if not, the forklift definitely could. Perhaps just take the car and stack it somewhere...mildly inconvenient? It would probably fit on the large steel shelves in receiving. Be quite amusing to see a car up there.😀
 
Finish degree, take job I "enjoy" rather than one I hate, drive Supra TT to work. Sink remainder into fat investments so that my children's education is paid for. 🙂

Or if you win you can just hire me to do it. I will gladly tell you to fsck off for 10K.
 
I wouldn't quit that day. I would very self assuredly go in and wrap things up for a week or two and on the last day buy the office whatever they wanted for lunch. Later I would come back to visit in my luxury automobile I would purchase.
I would also buy a larger home, but not a mansion since $500,000 can buy a very nice sized home in my area. I would rent out my current home for even more income and gradually do as another poster said which is buy up property, renovate it and rent it out.
 
twelve 100k bank CDs, one for each month - live off the interest
invest in a building to live in and collect rent, take mark cuban, richard branson and pdiddy
to lunch
 
Get away with as much of the 20 mill as taxes will allow, even if it means payments over x years- then pulls some serious leisure time.
 
Considering how much I make now, I certainly couldn't continue to do my job knowing that I've got my after tax millions. I would probably do it for a couple of weeks longer so they could find someone to replace me, but I would work at using my money to make more money instead of what I do now which is just working for money.
 
If I get a good job after school maybe I wouldn't quit.

Otherwise I'd go out sprinkling shitloads of glitter everywhere. They'll never see the end of it. Go back years later and there would be a shiny speck on your boss's arm.

I would quietly resign and disappear. I would hope to be rich relatively anonymously and wouldn't want it common knowledge.

best answer. wouldn't work for me though as I work in a big installation (3 people 🙂, really just 2 most of the time. )
 
I'd stick with school and finish my degree just to be safe. $20 million is a lot, but spending habits change when you have lots of money...

AHAAHAHAAHHAHAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!
 
I would just not show up at work. Then id put 19 mil in the bank and collect intrest. With the 1 mill Ill buy a nice, but in-expensive house (300-400k), and fill it with tons of high tech crap. Then id be set for-evar!

I'd give it all away except for $5 million (after taxes of cource) to charities.

My parents get one million, my friends would split up a million. I would safely invest the rest and live off the interest. I figure I'll clear roughly $75k a year after taxes, without working of course, which is a bit more considering Memphis's low cost of living.

I don't need a $250k car or a $1M home. They just end up costing more money in the long run.


Rules of life to learn...

The more you have, the more people want from you.
The more stuff you own, the more they own YOU.
Money can make life just as difficult as it makes it easy.


Edit: Ooops, didn't read the whole subject.

Current job: Would give 30 day notice and offer training for replacement. (I love my new job).

Past job: I'd just show up to work everyday high as a kite, dressed casually as hell, do nothing but play games instead of working, curse out few people here and there, and see how long it took for them to fire me.
