    As I said recently I'm quitting my job in the creative/ ad industry in next few months.

    I'm thinking of being extra cocky at work to my female boss who's also a creative director.

    Not in a rude way, just want to see her a bit perplexed and surprised :)

    What do you think is the best way to do so?

    • Don't stew in sarcasm, or leave her "perplexed" as you say; she will read it as resentment. It will be plain as day. Be kind to people.notype
