I worked for a company where it was known that if you gave a two week notice, they fired you the next day. So I figured out when my last day would be (timed it to the pay period) and gave my notice on a Friday. I already had everything of mine out of my space and at home. I turned in my notice before the end of my shift, handed the boss a two week notice, and I was told not to show up for work on Monday. Started my new job on Monday morning. Got a call from the boss, asking me to come in, since other people were out sick. I said, so sorry, but I have another job. Your loss!

[@Rickettsia505]

I subtly cleaned out my locker, went to HR for a exit interview in advance and asked them not to say anything ( they didn't). When I clocked in for my annual evaluation, I told the snake supervisor that he could do the eval, but this was my notice. I wrote "I disagree" on it, told him I'd already done my exit with HR, handed him my equipment and keys, gave him my badge and told him to walk with me to the timeclock and clock me out. He was shocked, tried to conceal his anger, and then tried to get me to work a 2 week notice. I pointed out the schedule with a 2 week gap, (a deliberate hostile work move) and left. After 24 years. I took a pay cut to work somewhere nice.

​@@Window4503 Oooohhh we've tried. Hard to do anything with Generation Gaslight (aka Boomers) always in the way, blocking any attempt we might try to put forth for change with constant invalidation, intimidation, and refusal of their own accountability, shifting the blame onto their children (Gen X & Millennials) and painting us as the villains, and then showing their grandchildren (Gen Z) NONE of that behavior, so that they don't see just how vile the whole damn generation was to us. Narcissists groom their audience and friends just as much as they do their targets. Abusive behavior is generational, and narcissistic parents always treat everyone else better than their kids, especially their grandkids. They need everyone else to believe they're not capable of acting like that, so that when their target does speak out they're not believed, and get told to just shut up because they've already been discredited and painted as a liar so nobody believes them no matter how much proof they might have, if any exists at all, since narcissistic abusers are so meticulous about covering their tracks so there's nothing left that can be shown. We're the 'disposable', 'in between' generations (Gen X & Millennials) who got the chance to connect with each other freely and had our eyes opened to the truth when the internet became mainstream and before the abusers in positions of power were able to adapt their tactics to put in place all these trackers, monitors, censors, and updated methods of digital propaganda and manipulation. We got to glimpse shadows of the truth behind the veil before the noose began to slowly tighten again so that Gen Z couldn't see enough to start figuring it out too. Toxins in our food, subtle hidden changes in our sickcare system, suppression of truth, mixing it up with lies to twist the narrative so no one knows what to believe anymore, and of course anyone who tries to say something is 'crazy' and 'paranoid' and has a mental 'disorder'. Constant bias and stress through information bombardment, and literal poison in our environment. Gen X and millennials' bodies are breaking down before they're supposed to be and we've gotten old and broken before our time. The fight against the system is an uphill battle that many of us can no longer handle and the best we can hope for is to try to educate the next generation to open their eyes before it's too late and they're already indoctrinated and brainwashed to believe the false narrative. Go study behavioral analysis, linguistics, etc and learn how to identify the patterns and spot the lies, and call them out. You'll know you're onto something when they try to silence and invalidate you. Learn all you can about the nature of propaganda, manipulation, and abusive ideology. As your knowledge increases, you'll begin to see it fir yourself. I know you won't believe it until you do, and you shouldn't just take my word for it anyway, but if you start to see it for yourself you'll understand what I mean. Extremist ideologies are puppet strings that can be pulled to control and distract people through their hatred. Rational thought and stable reality can be found in the grey areas of understanding, with clear and honest communication from a variety of perspectives. Don't let the bastards beat you down like they have done to us. There is still time but it will require forced effort to attain the knowledge and power to create real change.

“I showed them the jobs that were hiring for that and then I showed them this is the impact I’ve had on the contract”, that’s more than reasonable, good for her! On that basis, she had a right to tell them how much she needs to be paid to be fairly compensated and I’ve always thought everyone’s pay and qualifications should be on a spreadsheet available to anyone at a company, so people can both figure out how to advance themselves and find out if someone with the same qualifications is getting paid more so they don’t undervalue themselves.

[@jaelepke]

Unionized workplaces have these, why do you think big companies don't like them?

[@poollife777]

I think it needs to also be based on personality and how well one takes care of oneself and is able to get along with others. Qualifications are just the bare minimum.

[@brotherbruns2989]

What a job is worth to an employer and what people think they are worth are 2 distinctly separate things. When they match up, it’s a sign of a good working relationship with the employer. When they don’t match up, delusion is involved. And with Gen Z these days, generally speaking, they think they are entitled to more than the time it takes to get to where they want to be now. We don’t live in a Burger King world.

[@kyleconnor2759]

The problem is that many people I would say even most people at large corporations have jobs that are not really quantifiable as far as how much they’re actually bringing to the table. Which is why I would advise against having a job like that if you plan to work at a corporation. It’s a great job when things are great, but when they downturn, you’re the first one on the chopping block.

[@chainedunfree727]

Even if you quiet quit your immediate supervisor would tell you "Why are you not selling more compared to what you did last month?" They will work you to the bone with no added compensation.

[@weltschmertzz]

I burned myself for 3 years in a company that guilted me for taking any sick day off and berated me once. I cared for the company so I stayed that long in an unhealthy environment even if it was affecting my health because of guilt. Once I inevitably resigned, they communicated that they were sad to see me go but already had a replacement for me. I was shocked. The lesson I took away from this was not to burn myself for a company because to them, you are just another employee.

[@taigaaj]

You can't treat people like crap and expect them to take it.

[@giftedwithin7]

Right.

[@jerrycargill5062]

Gen Xer here: I graduated college in 1991. The Recession was so bad that if took months and months to find a job. If you were lucky enough to find something, you would hold onto that job, no matter how crappy it was, for dear life. We'd be so glad to have anything that didn't mean sheepishly walking back to the job you had during summer break or high school. Nobody dared complain out loud. Good that things have changed.

I am 40 and always been like that. The problem is that I was the only one as my coworkers were too scared. So today I might not have a high paying job but I have traveled so much in my life. I am so proud of myself. Keep kissing asses i hope you won't regret it. Life is too short for me to do things I don't want to do

[@PAIDFOR50]

Life is not about doing what you WANT to do. It's about doing what you have to do to take care of yourself and your family. I did what I didn't want to do for years. Then retired early at 48 and now can do whatever I want. You quit to soon. Now I'm guessing you will work for someone else the rest of your life. Hope your trips were worth it.

[@WCCXtra]

Employers have too much leverage. Once people start going into debt (mortgages, car loans, credit cards) and having children then they have to toe the line or risk societal expulsion (homelessness, which is basically illegal). It wasn't such a bad arrangement when basic needs were affordable, shelter in particular.

[@nitaallensong1014]

that advice at the end is garbage: "be a sheep. Be a model employee so that you get a good referral." You may get a horrible referral if you loud quit, but the only reason to loud quit is to call out a toxic environment, and those should not be enabled by being thankful for abuse at work

[@obits3]

Note to companies: Burning bridges goes both ways. Just as you can blackball people you see loud quiting, we can examine the claims of the loud quitters and not apply to your company. If you ever wonder why all the candidates these days are unqualified, maybe consider the good ones got the message and applied elsewhere.

[@beeabundantnow-evolutionis7251]

The young people are creating a new world -- it is their 🌎 world -- they don't care about corporate structures, or burning bridges. If companies want to be relevant -- they need to evolve.

[@christophersmith2470]

Well, I'm a Gen X'er and I don't remember things being like this. I mean, there was always the prick boss and toxic co-workers but you could simply go somewhere else by making a phone call and lining up an interview on your lunch break. Now, you have to only apply online and go through 5 roounds of interviews. It's all so impersonal now and it wasn't like that when I was in my 20's and even 30's.

To me the most annoying is that more often the bosses in corporate jobs are utterly incompetent and climbed the ladder being lap dogs.

[@johnray1067]

I’m a long-time educator, I understand employees quitting a toxic work place. That being said, Gen Z seems more concerned with likes on social media than making an honest living. Just look at the rise in the number of folks that identify as an influencer. There is usually a difference between what an employee thinks they are worth and what the employer is willing to pay. The problem is unrealistic expectations of both parties involved. You can’t start at the top without putting in the work and learning the ropes. Getting a degree from a college or University doesn’t mean you are qualified for a job; it proves you are trainable in the eyes of an employer.

[@Wfc2736]

I agree with all but the last sentence. A college degree doesn't prove you're trainable. All it proves is that you're not illiterate.

[@brotherbruns2989]

k. They will continue to do this and companies will continue to outsource jobs to people willing to do the work.

@royscott5884 I see your point. In the end, it's the people that will decide which stress in life that will feel balance for them, and if those higher ups will not care enough for their workers under them then they will quit. Even if they find replacements from whichever country they decide and they do not change, the circumstances repeat and then the company's structure will crumble. Well, we never know the future but right now, that's seem to be happening. So better change things up.
