I once had the senior developer and "architect" berate me and a tester(it was my first job out of college) in email for not staying late and finishing such an "easy" task the night before. We had been at it all day and called it quits at 7pm, I had been thrashing since 11am before lunch that day and had pestered every member our team for help at least twice.
I responded and cc'd the team with:
"I've been disappointed in you for a month now. I never get help from the team. I'll be at the coffee shop across the street if you need me. I'm sorry i couldn't debug the 12 parameter, 800 line method that just about everything is dependent on."
After cooling off at the coffee shop for an hour, i went back in the office, grabbed my crap and left. After a few days they called me asking if I was coming in, I said I would but I had an interview, maybe tomorrow.
"So your quitting then?"
