quitting

These people screwed up big enough that they thought they'd be fired on the spot, but apparently life isn't as cutthroat as you'd think sometimes. Whether they had an understanding boss, did the right thing, or just straight up weren't caught, these employees lived to work another day.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share what the last straws were for them at work before they rage quit their jobs. The resulting insights are filled to the brim with frustration and people just plain old getting to the end of their tolerance for BS. On a totally different note, you could strike gold, and end up like this guy who got hired, was never told what to do, and managed to stay on for months. 

A bad boss can make or break a whole company. Sometimes they can even make everyone quit at once. Here's a good reminder that even if you feel stuck at a crappy job, you can evaluate your skills and may realize that you totally don't have to put up with the BS that a bad boss sticks you with daily.

Sometimes you and a job just aren't meant to be. From that revelation it's up to you whether or not you want to quit the job in style. 

There's nothing quite like the freeing sensation of quitting a job you hate. It's like a 40+ hour, minimum wage burden has just melted off your shoulders. No more annoying customers, boring coworkers and incompetent managers. Feels like sitting in a warm bath, just thinking about it. Anyway here are some fantastic notices people left. For more quitting related stuff, here are the stories of people who quit their jobs on the spot.

It being International Workers' Day, Talia Lavin asked people share stories of their most horrible, unfair, incompetent and downright nasty bosses. If you've ever been yelled at for having to take off work for an emergency, or been fired for actually doing your job correctly, these might resonate with you.

Do you work to live, or live to work? I'd say most of us, especially those working in service or hospitality jobs in our late teens/early twenties, will tell you that we're just working for the money. The job itself doesn't matter (who wants to be a checkout chick for the rest of their life anyway?). But some bosses take things too seriously, and mistakenly think that you'd put the job first over other things, like Thanksgiving with your family or your father's funeral. Seriously. With nightmare bosses like these, quitting seems pretty reasonable, and that's exactly what these people on Reddit have done. I applaud them for their good timing.
