People Share Stories Of How They Quit On The Spot

As the mass resignation wave continues across the US, a new trend of resigning from your job is also spreading across the internet.

Thanks in part to subreddits like r/antiwork, people are starting to find communities of support that help workers see their value and the things that they should no longer put up with.

This first story is that of a person enjoying their day off only to get text upon text from their manager being told they have to work that day.

This was also a situation where the OP had lost their father and needed time to grieve. “As you know, I found out yesterday my dad passed away. I’m gonna go ahead and at least take the one day I get a week off to mourn his death. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this will cause you.”

Some managers however are a special kind of cold-hearted bringing out their own list of grief.

“My uncle died a few days ago, I lost my grandma. Stop being a victim.”

This terrible message obviously did not go over well with the employee quitting their job on the spot telling the manager to mail their check and ending the conversation with a satisfying “Go f*ck yourself.”

This bartender had also shared the story of how they quit their job.

It started with their manager asking them to come back to work only 8 hours later to do a full-time shift of 11 hours.

The bartender who had barely enough time to sleep a wink had decided to make the best of the few hours they had of having a drink.

“Why are you just now telling me at 3 am that you need me to work 11 hours tomorrow? I’ve had a few drinks and I don’t feel like coming into work hungover and working for that long on my day off.”

The manager however clearly misinterpreted the scope of their jurisdiction and began telling OP that they couldn’t drink in their own home and needed to be “prepared” for these eventualities.

OP then suggested they take on the role themselves, “Don’t you even know how to bartend too? Even if you don’t we literally have flashcards for each drink on the menu for each event, you can literally just tape them to the counter and use them as a guide to make the drinks yourself.”

The manager decided this ‘attitude’ needed to be addressed saying they would discuss this on Sunday. Little did they know that this particular Sunday might never come.

“No we’re not. Bartenders are needed all over the place now, I think I’ll just go work at one of the dozens of places hiring around here. I’m fed up with you.”

This was the moment that Robert realised that he had f*cked and like most of these stories go, changed his tune.

“Give me a call, don’t make such an impulsive decision. You’re making a mistake because you’re drunk and you think it’s a good idea, when you wake up tomorrow you’re gonna regret this.”

While not everyone had stories of quitting immediately, a wave of exposing managers and their horrible approach to work started with people sharing their experiences.

This woman already had one foot out the door because of this conversation she had with her manager.

Some managers never seem to get the hint.

Who can forget this classic, that started it all?

And they lived happily ever after. Except for the managers.
