We’re looking to speak to people who quit their jobs in an unprofessional blaze of glory – and are keen to find out what came next

Some of us have dreamed up the pettiest way to resign from our job, and an increasing number of people are following through. Revenge quitting, where you bid adieu to your place of work in an unprofessional blaze of glory, is on the rise. A recent survey by Reed Group found that 15% of UK workers had revenge quit, with some handing in their resignations at 4:55pm on a Friday and others calling it quits during the busiest (and most inconvenient) periods.

Have you quit your job to the pre-planned fury of a bad boss? Do you have any fun tales about your pettiest resignation? If so, we would like to hear from you. Why did you dislike your workplace? What pushed you over the edge? How did you make your exit as inconvenient as possible? Did it impact your ability to get a job in the future?

Studio built for textile designer Bernat Klein by Peter Womersley put up for auction despite hopes of private sale

A coalition of heritage and design groups has launched a last-minute attempt to save one of the UK’s most threatened modernist buildings after its owners put it up for auction.

The late modernist studio was built in the Scottish Borders in 1972 for the textile designer Bernat Klein, whose fabrics were worn by Coco Chanel and Jean Shrimpton, and is widely regarded as a jewel of late 20th-century architecture.

Police sealed off the Drummeer Road area of Maguiresbridge, a village 8 miles (13km) from Enniskillen, on Wednesday and said there was no ongoing risk to the public.

Much anticipated set of remixes and lost songs give a glimpse of a great pop mind trying out new tricks

It’s hard to overstate the impact of Ray of Light, Madonna’s seventh album. Released in 1998, it totally reshaped Madonna’s career, embracing trip-hop, electronica and Britpop and essentially proving to an unfriendly public that she was one of pop’s great auteurs. It spawned one of her biggest singles – the haunting power ballad Frozen – and its title track is still a staple of radio and DJ playlists. In the past few years, many of contemporary and underground pop’s most significant names – including Caroline Polachek, Addison Rae, a.s.o., Shygirl and FKA twigs – have referenced Ray of Light, whether directly or indirectly. It’s a fool’s errand to try to make a case for the best or most significant Madonna album – she has at least five strong contenders – but if there’s a consensus pick, it’s Ray of Light.

Which is why the announcement of Veronica Electronica, a full-length Ray of Light remix album, was met with such hysteria from fans earlier this year. Madonna has spoken at length over the years about both Veronica the character – in true Madonna fashion, Veronica stems from a vaguely contradictory concept in which she is both a girl dancing at a club and, somehow, “medieval” – and the album, which she intended to release after Ray of Light but ended up shelving. For diehards, the promised record is something of a holy grail – never mind that this long-awaited release only contains two truly new songs, one of which, an old demo titled Gone Gone Gone, has been floating around on the internet for years.

If agreed by member states, levies on US goods from aircraft to whiskey could be imposed from 7 August

The EU has threatened to impose nearly €100bn (£87bn) worth of tariffs on US imports ranging from bourbon whiskey and Boeing aircraft in one fell swoop if Donald Trump does not agree a trade deal by the end of next week.

The European Commission said on Wednesday it planned to combine two previously prepared separate lists of US goods to be included in any retaliatory moves against the US president’s import tariffs.
