'That was the first job I ever quit': 15+ Fed-up workers explain the exact moments they decided to quit their toxic jobs

No matter how patient someone is, everyone has their breaking point. Most people who quit a job on the spot don't quit because of an isolated incident. Instead, a lot of people can only handle customers complaining to their faces so many times. You can only work so many tables that tip zero dollars before you start to lose your marbles. There are only so many times a Karen customer can confront you about prices that aren't in your control before you start to daydream about unemployment. These k…

'I took a video of me dancing on his desk': 20+ Hilarious quitting stories

A good old-fashioned dramatic quitting can really boost morale. When times are already rough at the workplace, watching someone quit with flair can feel so righteous. Most people don't quit on the spot. Even if it seems like they're doing that, usually the resentment has been building for some time. There's that common saying that people don't quit bad jobs, they leave due to bad management. Over time, having a micromanaging boss or a supervisor who continually berates you really wears an emplo…

Guy quits job, toxic employer retaliates by calling wellness check: 'I just want to be left alone'

Imagine finally summoning the courage to quit your job, and when you finally do, they refuse to leave you alone. Make no mistake: it takes a ton of courage to work oneself up to the place of finally calling it quits. At this point, an employee in this situation has likely considered every pro and con. By the time they schedule a meeting to confront their employer, they have 100% made their decision. So begging and pleading will not do any good. Furthermore, if the employer is totally blindsided…

See, the thing is, having a motivated and cohesive team is actually the best asset a company can have—heck, even if your morals are based on a balanced checkbook, it stands to reason that the best i…

'Saving [that] sinking ship was impossible': 30+ ways to professionally explain why you 'jumped ship' so quickly at your last job during an interview

‘I smiled and pressed send': Employee sends resignation email to entire company after they were refused a raise, reviewing boss's lack of managerial skills

One employee sent a scathing resignation email to the entire company after quitting, due to not getting a raise in over three years. Three years is a LONG time.

Some managers simply do not appreciate their team enough, and that leads to quick turnover, which is not the ideal business model, if you know what I mean… When will co…

'I’m not shelling out $125': Teacher refuses to contribute pricey gift for principal's retirement, risks job security

It's no secret that teachers are underpaid, so why should they be expected to contribute to their principal's retirement gift?
