We've all been the new kid at a job.

"This isn’t a call to leave because our kids need great teachers & role models now more than ever, but know that if you think it’s your time to step away that things are about to change in your world for the better in ways you could only dream of."

"An intern “failing” at ANY task is not a failure of the intern, it’s a failure of the leadership of the organization."

Sometimes just quitting isn't enough. If you have been working in an unfair, unjust, and just all around unprofessional work environment for a long time, merely saying “Sayonara” isn't going to give you the satisfactory exit you deserve.

We rarely take a moment to appreciate the overworked managers who have to answer to the ridiculous demands of the higher-ups. Here , we have the manager of an understaffed pizzeria who was taking on the responsibilities of virtually everyone after both cooks showed up late. He took a moment to collect himself after working on his feet and going non-stop all day. His break was literally for only ten minutes, but the owner took note and prepared his payback. The next day, the manager could not he…

This boss clearly enjoys messing around with his soon-to-be former employees on their last days. Whatever happened to being professional and leaving things on a strong note? It sounds like this dude has yet to put two and two together and realize that his manipulative and outright cruel tactics are the main reason why one employee after another is quitting on the spot. The original poster (OP) of this thread explained that after giving their two weeks' notice, they overheard their boss telling…

Imagine reaching the end of your final two weeks at your mediocre job you can't wait to leave and learning that your boss knows your new boss. To make matters worse, not only do they know each other, but your current boss feels comfortable threatening to inform your new boss that you are the type to slack off on the job. Of course, this isn't exactly true. This employee had just been slacking off and doing the bare minimum over these last two weeks because who goes above and beyond when they're…

Managing a team is just as much about protecting your employees as it is about ensuring that they are following the rules. People seem to forget this all the time, as pressure from higher-ups can sometimes promote other ideas. Then, of course, there is the power of the big ego. Never underestimate a manager's ego guiding their form of leadership and disciplinary action. When ego governs a manager's decision-making skills, that manager is far less likely to take care of the people of their team.…

Who hasn't received an eyebrow-raising message from a current or former employer? You know the kind of message we're talking about. It's the kind that makes you question if this person is fit to be your employer at all. Sometimes, it's an audacious demand that they are in no position to make. For example, I once had a boss ask me to fill in for a security guard position when I was an intern despite the fact that I was woefully unqualified to do so. Other times, it's an invasive question your bo…

If you've ever daydreamed about quitting your terrible job, consider this your sign to find a happier career path. There are a few different ways one can quit a job . The proper, respectable way is to write out a professional letter stating that this is your two-week notice. But the folks replying to this r/AskReddit thread couldn't stand to work at their awful jobs for another moment. They took the less professional but way more satisfying route of rage-quitting right on the spot. As you can r…

Let this story serve as motivation for those of you who have been denied raises repeatedly. The truth of the matter is that most employers do not know how good they have it and aren't necessarily thinking of all the consequences should you choose to leave them in the dust. Your boss does not know exactly how worthy your efforts are, and if you spell them out for your employer and they still don't acknowledge said efforts with a much-deserved raise, then it's time to start considering your optio…

What's the point of having vacation days if you're not allowed to use them?

If you hate your job, you've probably fantasized about doing exactly this. Letting everyone know exactly how it is and saying the quiet parts out loud—finally declaring that the emperor has no clothes once and for all. Of course, while your coworkers will whisper This coworker's resignation went viral after they sent an email out to all staff at their company outlining, in a humorous way, everything that they despised about their time working for the company, doing so with a levity and sardonic…

Very few folks have the guts to stand up to their micromanaging bosses. Even when you have nothing to lose, something still holds most people back from really going there like this housekeeper did. Along with the rest of the cleaning staff, they were tasked with unrealistic expectations from their boss while working in difficult and unnecessarily harsh working conditions, from rules about working in complete silence to not having sufficient supplies (and, in many cases, having to purchase their…

This hardworking employee used their jilted past to fuel a resignation fire that would burn down the entire company, taking this lazybones, absentee boss with it.

It's not uncommon to have to get your PTO requests approved by one's manager; however, it is uncommon to have that vacation request held hostage from you until you teach a nepo baby everything you know. Here, we've got an IT guy who reported to the Chief Admin at his company, an individual who was clearly well-connected with the higher-ups at the company. This guy was an expert in his field, and everyone in the office was so dependent on his expertise that it made taking time off extremely diff…
