I quit

I quit an office job once with nothing to go to, busy job, dept in the ****, I was quite experienced but regularly moaned at. Everyone was moaning about quitting, I just walked up and slapped the letter down.

Whats that?, My notice.

The look of terror in my bosses face was priceless.

Best thing I ever did, laughed my ass off. Ended up doubling my salary somewhere else a month or so later.

 

In high school, I worked at a public library.

One night, I got a call at work that my mom had been admitted to the hospital and that it was serious. She'd been battling cancer and everybody up there knew that.

I checked with my supervisor first and she told me I could clock out and leave. It turned out my mom had slipped into a coma and the doctors didn't think she'd live much longer.

My next shift, I had a note to go see my boss. The supervisor had written me up for leaving work early.

Absolutely lost it. Quit on the spot. Confronted the supervisor about what she did in front of the back room staff. Lots of yelling about my mom being in a ******* coma and dying of cancer her being a thoughtless, bureaucratic ****. Then I wrote a letter to the library's board of directors explaining the situation and asking for an apology.

All in all, I was probably a bit dramatic, but I was 16 and was on the verge of being an orphan.

The awkward part was when I accepted a job offer at the same library 2 years later and worked with the same supervisor.
 
Back in my very foolish days I worked full-time in a high street store, took the job on and worked my 6 weeks so that I was entitled to sick pay, got signed off work for a month then after the month was up I quit and went to college.

Really regret it now like as what I did wasn't at all fair to my colleagues or superiors but I didn't think about that at the time.
 
As said the other week, I walked out on a payday loan company as they tried to force me to give a loan to an elderly couple who were being coerced by their druggie son. Just walked out in the middle of the day and didn't go back - they were smart enough not to make an issue out of it as I hinted on the phone that the papers might be interested in what I had to say.

Scumbags.
 
"Yeah I'm leaving. I've been offered better hours and more money. I'll do the notice and all that now."

A few days later:

"Errr, alright Lee. Can I have my job back?"

"She might have 7 million Facebook views tomorrow, but guess what? No one's buying her stuff, because they're all outside of Alaska," he says.

While Greene's stunt was being discussed on CNN, her Indiegogo fund to raise $5,000 to campaign for Alaska's marijuana legalisation act had barely made it past the halfway mark. She had yet to raise the full amount by the end of the business day on the East Coast.

Now raised the amount and gone past it.

Unlucky media, nice try.

Have you seen the bit John Oliver did on that industry?
