If you have been waiting for a sign to quit your job, this is it.

One day, you're going to quit your job—and that's a fact… Whether it's over a disagreement, for relocation, for growth—or because you're leaving the workforce for good. When that time comes, it will be up to you (mostly) on what terms you want to leave on. Do you want to leave on good terms, possibly even despite long-held grudges? Or do you want to set the world ablaze—full scorched earth policy—burning every bridge behind you as you go? This worker shared the resignation they were planning on…

Some managers make such ridiculous demands that one has to wonder if they are trying to make their employees quit. Sometimes, that is the case, and other times, it's just that these managers have egos and enjoy engaging in power dynamics. If this description fits your manager, our advice would be to get out while you still can. Here, we have a barista whose manager would insist on having a coffee made for her at the end of every shift after everything in the store had been cleaned up and finish…

It's a good day to quit

This boss underestimated his employee , and the employee is not complaining. What would you do if your job suddenly told you that you don't have to do work anymore ? You just come into work one day and your boss informs you that even though you aren't fired, you won't have to send another email or attend another long meeting. At first, most of us would be momentarily thrilled. You could spend your days sitting around playing games on your computer or reading a book. But after a little while of…

This, folks, is how to get other people to follow your lead. Not only was this dishwasher justified in calling out toxic management for their incessant outbursts, but he chose to do it in the best way: a group text with the entire staff in the same chat. And oh, what a group chat message it was! It's the kind of major confrontation that could only inspire groupthink and spark a subsequent craze of mass quitting. Here's hoping we get an update from the original poster explaining the details of w…

There are moments in our lives when we have pristine clarity about our careers. It's rare, but when you get that gut feeling to run away from the workplace (not the dreaded, ‘I don’t feel like going to work today' feeling, but a REAL gut feeling), it's time to listen up. They say that our instincts are designed to protect us from harm, so when the red flags are waving , the managers are screaming, and our coworkers give us a sheepish look, perhaps it's time to quit onsite. Working folks in our…

Sometimes, when you mess around too much, you find out the hard way that there are very real consequences associated with your actions. It's all well and good for you to do as you'd like and act as you please, but when it comes to facing the consequences you'd better come to terms with it. That's what this employer is going to have to do when they realize that their driver went ahead and found another job (with better pay) after being told that his job was no longer available when he tried to c…

You never know what you've got until it's gone… An old philosophical adage that rings true throughout all areas of our lives, speaking to the fact that we don't really appreciate something's worth until we no longer have it, whether that be a time in our lives, an object, or even an individual. It's easy to take things for granted when they're right in front of you, and it's easy to think that how things are now is how they will be forever, evoking a resigned, almost begrudging feeling towards…

You're never too young to stand up for yourself.

This person gave their company half a year to replace them , and that still wasn't enough time. That's a generous offer! Most people give the usual two weeks' notice when switching jobs. It's the common courtesy to let your employer know that you're heading for the door, while also giving them time to strategize and start the hiring process for your replacement. U/Knowslittle wrote that their employer was making them do the jobs of three people . This worker was stretched so thin that it was be…

If your employer can't wait 72 hours for you to start training for a new position, they have a serious understaffing problem that likely stems from bad management. They'll deny it until they're blue in the face, but management doesn't always know what's best for a company–especially when it comes to the hiring process.

If you're going to be a micromanaging kind of manager, then you should at least do it with correct grammar…

Always be careful how you treat your employees because if you treat them poorly, karma certainly will rear its head. If the number of satisfying quitting stories we have told right here at FAIL Blog serves as any indication, it's that people with bad bosses are not going to leave their jobs quietly. In many cases, it is up to them to stick it to their bosses while they have the chance. Here, we have an employee who, among other responsibilities, was tasked with receiving dozens of sales calls a…

Trying to beat that eepy feeling at work should count as overtime.

In this case, the support of a loving husband can only go so far. It's greatly appreciated and needed, but he has never been in your shoes. Luckily, the internet is here to connect anybody with support from others who have been exactly where you are!
