Yeah, it fucking rules.

Not at first but after a while I started to notice which places weren’t going to give the bare minimum in respect for human beings.

They know it too, places like that tend to be more surprised if you give two week’s notice

yeah one time my coworker said some real rude shit to me at a company happy hour and i just walked out and never said anything to anyone from that job again

Nah, I don’t even make it that far. Typically I just get “terminated with cause” the first time I get sick or need a disability accomodation.

Got tired of being micromanaged by my boss, so after a weekend of partying, I walked into my job 30 minutes early, shook hands with everyone that I liked, grabbed my box, and rolled out as my boss was arriving, 15 minutes late.

I had a mental breakdown at my last job and I just kinda stopped coming in.

Yeah. I was doing onboarding training for a phone service thing for collecting student debt, during the last break of the day I got in my car and drove home and never called them back, lmao.

I’ve quit on the spot once when the boss hired a new guy at higher pay than me after turning down my request for a raise earlier in the season. I had worked there for 4 seasons but he decided the inexperienced guy was worth way more than I even asked for

I also left halfway through training for a sales job when they revealed we’d mostly be preying on lonely, elderly people. I was desperate for money but not that desperate, I ended up suffering through a few months of grueling factory night shifts but it was preferable to that scummy sales job

I tried to sell supplemental health insurance for a week and couldn’t hang. Felt bad because sales seemed like a super useful skill.

It’s funny the way I fucking hate talking to any intense business bobblehead who’ll sniff their own farts, but I want(ed) to be one because I associate it with getting a bunch of money and having people actually listen to you.

My very first job at 16 was at McDonalds and I quit that one on the spot one day, but it wasn’t like a dramatic walkout or anything. I’d just been working there for about a month, liked my coworkers and didn’t mind being on the fryers. This being high school, I was volunteering a ton as well and had cleared volunteering at a race with my shift lead the week prior at work & she told me she’d take me off the schedule that day. Of course, as it goes, she forgot to and when I saw it the night before, she wasn’t in so I was like “I’ll call tomorrow when I leave school”.

Call as I’m walking out of class and she picks up.

“Hey, just double checking that you know I’m not coming in, like we discussed a week ago? I’m volunteering at the race later today. Saw last night I was still on the schedule…”

Of course she claimed we never had this conversation and that since I was on the schedule, I needed to come in or else I could come & get my last check next week.

“B-but I’m volunteering and I told you…” I said before she repeated herself and I just snapped “Fine I’ll come and get my last check next week. Goodbye.” and hung up.

oh hell yeah, I’ve walked out on tons of bullshit jobs when i was younger. some shift manager Burger lord ain’t gonna power trip on my ass, I’m fuckin outta here and on to the next slop joint down the road

I walked away from a hotel that threw me into the dish pit like 3 days before the nationwide COVID lockdown, so I was furloughed and qualified for unemployment.

More recently I took a trash valet job that falsely advertised an hourly rate by hiding a disclaimer that it was actually nightly. Tbh, I only stuck with it because I saw it as getting paid to workout- but I kinda snapped when I got misted by glass shards, so I just dumped everything in a pile and peeled out.

i was wfh my first (and last) real corporate software job and i just stopped answering the phone. i was having a mental breakdown and i ended up going to the psych ward and they paid me a stipend for like 2 years then i quit and grabbed holiday pay for that period too. fucking suckers

I’ve never felt financially comfortable enough to quit a job without something else lined up :(

After dropping out of college and living with my folks again I worked fast food for a summer but was laid off, so after months of applications with no response someone hooked me up with a job that was high pressure, low pay, and I needed to commute like an hour to get there by 7am.

2nd day in I called out sick because I was so stressed out I broke down crying.

but I came back in on day 3 and ended up being there for several years. It was trashy and it sucked and was messy af (way too many of the staff slept around). But it ended up being flexible enough that I could pay for and attend community college at the same time.
