"Please know that your employer will always value their bottom line over your dignity. I loved this job. I am so so sad."

Everyone has their own style of quitting a dead-end job.

A perfect time for a lengthy Glassdoor review.

"Why office potlucks in the first place? Are not people stressed and stretched to the max?"

Sometimes, the only way to properly explain yourself to your micromanaging employer is by sticking to your principles. This employee had actively been trying to gain management experience over the years but was repeatedly denied the opportunity, which already left them feeling undervalued, under-appreciated, and underpaid. Matters were made worse after the employee , who was working checkout at the store, noticed an error when scanning a customer's item. They replaced the item with something si…

What does management expect when they don't have the backs of their employees?

It's rare, but it does happen: sometimes an entire workplace quits at once. When this does happen, it's often a glorious exodus, leaving workers happy with their fresh jobs and higher salaries, while managers scramble to find new hires. It's true what they say: people will run from bad bosses as fast as they can. Having a low salary is irritating, but if you love your job, it isn't always so bad. And if you love the people you work with, those 8-hour days may fly by, making your workweek a bree…

We've all dreamed of quitting a job in dramatic fashion The myth of the hard-nosed boss: a harsh take-no-prisoners leadership style with the “greater good” and the learning of the team in mind. The issue is far too many leaders think they're living up to this mythology when in reality they're treading over the fine line This worker made a splash, quite literally, when they quit their job after suffering one insult and one impolite demand too many from their toxic boss.

Who among us wouldn't quit their job for double the salary ? It'd be a hard question to say no to, that's for sure. No matter how much you love your job, you could vastly improve your life with double the amount of money. Usually, when you find a job that could double your salary , you have to inform your company that they either need to match that amount, or you'll be leaving. It's not personal, it's just finances. But still, some bosses think that your loyalty to their company should be stron…

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…

Gambling is a tricky game. You almost always lose, but the one time you win, it hooks you. Or, in this case, makes you rethink your entire life. That’s what happened to this employee who won big in a poker tournament, walking away with a six-figure check. Instead of just celebrating quietly, he decided to quit his soul-sucking job on the spot. Can you blame him? Life’s too short to endure endless corporate struggle when you’ve just hit the jackpot. But when word got out about his winnings, his…

Constant exposure to a toxic workplace environment can cause devastating burnout that really sneaks up on you…

There's really no place for bait-and-switch tactics in the interview process. The process of looking for a job is long and difficult enough without using deceit to try and trick prospective candidates into taking a job that wasn't what they thought they were signing up for, either changing the terms of their employment or compensation at the last minute and hoping they'll be desperate enough to go along with it. Still, as with anything in life, communication is key, and sometimes—no, often—simp…

It's pretty safe to say that your employer will never fully appreciate your contribution until after you leave. At this point, they will realize that your contribution isn't quite as easy to replicate as they thought, leading to productivity losses that they will have to pay a lot more to replicate. Of course, they could have just given you a moderate raise and saved more money than they ended up spending. A certain part of this is misreading the relationship, overestimating the hold they have…

There's something universally awkward about office parties—whether it's the forced mingling, the questionable food choices, or that one coworker who takes "open bar" a little too literally. Most of us just try to blend into the crowd, avoid making eye contact with our managers, and hope the night ends without too many cringe-worthy moments. But for one unfortunate team, a party to celebrate an employee's resignation was nothing more than a "social experiment."

There is an episode in How I Met Your Mother where Marshall gets yelled at by his terrible boss, and he doesn't know how he should react. His friends all give him different advice, some saying he should ignore it, while others said he should kindly confront his boss and put him in his place. Eventually, Marshall unexpectedly explodes at his boss and screams back at him with everything he thinks of his job and the management, and at the end of this screaming fit, Marshall quits. While it is just…
