The CRAZIEST Job Quitting Stories You Will Ever Hear - Don’t Try These Yourself

[@brettshaff8772]

It was 3:30pm on my last day on the job as a programmer. I had handed everything off, cleaned everything up and had literally nothing remaining to do. But my manager refused to allow me to leave until 5pm. So I was sitting at my desk, feet up, reading a newspaper. Manager walks by and barks "Are we paying you to read a newspaper?". I said "Yes, you are", told him I had nothing left to do and reminded him that he wouldn't allow me to leave early. 20 minutes later I walk past his office and he's in there showing another manager his vacation pictures. I stopped, popped my head in and asked "Are we paying you to do that?" and walked away. Still one of my favorite moments of my career.

We were re roofing a Farm building taking down old corrugated white roofing sheets dust was coming of it all over the place I asked 3 times was it confirmed it wasn't asbestos ? "No no no its perfectly safe" ......... while i was washing up for lunch I heard my french boss telling the owner he'd saved him a fortune because you needed a special team in and it all had to be resin packed before it left site costing thousands of Euros extra I told him to stuff his job if he couldn't be honest about safety i could no longer work for him I got the "you need to give notice blah blah blah" I said no way its a gross breach of contract by you and if you want to play that way lets go next day i phoned the inspectors of works told them where the job was and where he was burying the asbestos in the woods big big fines for him

@@AGM-ts5bb yeh and he told me asbestos is only dangerous when you cut it ! i had to try and explain to him that it was dust that was the problem and the sheets being rotten produced all the dust the same as cutting it did unfortunately asbestos only being banned in the 80s in France builders here still believe stupid things like this and oh a little bit is not dangerous. And the language barrier keeps them from looking up a majority of studies into its dangers! No amount of asbestos contamination is without risk and the more prolonged the exposure the greater the risks I actually translated American Government studies for him and gave him after the fact but he still couldn't get it into his head he died 6 years ago of lung cancer and complications I imagine asbestos in his lungs was one of them TBH

back in the 90,s i worked in a care home, they wanted all the residents incontinence pads changed at certain times whether they needed it or not. i would only change them when they needed it citing not wanting to distress residents when i didn't need to. it ended with me taking my uniform off in the office and throwing it at the manager and walking out in my underpants!!

LOL! I did that in '84! I was working at taco hell, for a c@ked-up sleazebag named george. He'd come up behind me while I was elbow deep in hot soapy water, pressed himself against me, said something incredibly sleazy & I lost it. I turned around with what I'd thought was the 'bean spoon', stuck it in his face & cursed his sleazy self at the top of my lungs until I'd backed him against the deep fryer. Only then did I realize I was actually holding the 11" 'olive knife' (same handle- whoops🤷). While his eyes were still bulging, I stripped off my uniform, threw it in the sink, & walked home in my boxers. Haven't been to a taco hell since- However, an assistant mgr (Kip) & I showed up at george's trailer for a party later that same year, stole his keg, & rolled it into the sewage lagoon. Aside from hiding in the tall grass while irate, c@ked up guys with handguns looked for us, that went suprisingly well. I hope Kip is doing well, but Up Yours george & scott.

I’ve done it twice, walked in, walked up to the Boss, each time just before starting time and quit. The first time the Boss didn’t believe me. It arose because the boss attempted to chew me out for not doing something, it had been on his desk for 2 weeks and I had reminded him 4 times. The second was me coming in first thing in the morning, the boss was surprised, then the penny dropped, then the puzzled “but why”, I cited the fact I’d worked 60 hours a week and when under his bonus scheme I’d earned over $3,000 in bonus the previous month, he had changed the system retrospectively so that I got no bonus.

I spoke right up and said "Damn right it is, I quit." Walked out and did not return. Retired early.

I had a job with a zero hours contract. Handed in my notice on Thursday and informed my boss it was my last shift. He lost his noodle and demanded 2 weeks notice as per my contract.

I worked at a restaurant during the holidays, no one showed up one day except me and the manager. This meant I was cooking, taking orders, washing dishes, clearing tables. I accidentally broke a dish, the manager said "I'm taking that out of your pay". I asked if he was serious and he was. So I took a stack of dishes (crowded restaurant, open kitchen) threw them all on the floor and told him he could take those too. I then walked out whilst he was at the door screaming at me to come back.

Minutes before one staff member was due for his interview, he called in and said he wasn't coming in for the interview as he had found a new job. He said he would be starting the new job immediately so would not be working his notice period or be coming in for his shift that night either. The manager was not best pleased but I loved the reminder it gave him that employees have power too, not just managers.

So when the library got s new librarian, she systematically tried making me look bad until she could fire me. I am pretty sure it’s because my medical alert dog was not a standard breed but a Jack Russell terrier. The disdain on her face when she saw him. But she tried saying I wasn’t good with patrons (they specifically asked for me soooo often because I was incredibly good at finding books and the only person there good with computers) she tries saying I wasn’t bad at everything, which there was only really one task I was slow at, and most others I was twice as fast as anyone else. When she did fire me I heard from other workers that the patrons were asking for me constantly and expressing how they missed me, and it actually took hiring two people to get books shelved as efficiently as I did. Maybe not a quitting story, but definitely a boss having regrets story!

I worked for an organisation and the only person looking after imports and exports. I knew the area well, so I was able to get through the workload. An ass of a District Manager refused to give me permanency. I had no choice, but to resign and take up another job. I did have a great manager, but he couldn’t over-ride the District Manager. I came back to the organisation 6 months later to do some personal business and my manager took me to have a look at where I used to work- what he showed me was that they had to get 7 other people to keep up with my workload. I still smile with the memory. I did resign politely, but oh boy did they have a workload to keep up with.

[@Chickenplague1]

This wasn't a resignation, but I got made redundant from a job a while back. Being in IT, they requested I go on Garden leave rather than work the notice. I got the email when I was in a meeting with one of our bigger clients, talking about renewing their contract and working on some of the details of that renewal. I was the only liaison with the company and we got along really well. When the email notification popped up, I was projecting my screen and the subject line was "Notice of Redundancy". I was going to continue, but the project manager said that we could stop, as they and I quote "weren't going to renew if I wasn't going to be there". They took me out for dinner and some drinks when we left and I never went back to the office. I heard later that they had followed up and not renewed their contract. I still take some pride in being good enough at what I do that they didn't want to continue without me.

99.9% of jobs in the US are "at will" it's strange how companies expect a 2 week notice, but if they are letting you go, they will remove you within 10mins of telling you.

When I quit my last retail job I had worked with the district manager. They day I quit was a stock truck day. The GM and OP manager of the store were stealing tens of thousands of dollars in electronics every week. I called the district manager told him I had some pictures to show him, and it was best we meet and talk. I told him I was tired of being told to keep my mouth shut with threats to lose my job or have me arrested for theft when I never did anything. I showed him pictures and small video clips of the GM, OP and asst managers loading TV's and computers into their personal cars from the loading bay. Told him I can't take it I don't care if I lose my job, but this is crazy. He talked me down and help me write a letter to my GM we worked together had the coo of the company, him and 8 police officers in a park across the street with a corporate fraud investigator. I got wired with a mic and walked into the store and into the loading dock where they had started stealing before the load truck even left said "wtf your the most greedy crupt people I have ever seen the truck hasn't even left and your in here calling dibs on crap and putting stuff in the GM truck. I quit I can't work crazy people like you I hope you get caught. Walked out the front door and the cops rushed in. The store was closed for 2 weeks, but 9days in I got a call from the district manager asking if I was free to meet I was we chatted, and he shared with me over the 11mo him and his brother in law were gm, and om, they stole 1.14 million in stuff. Also asked if I would testify on the stand to what I had seen. And offered me the GM position and said I'd be the youngest gm in the company history, but I have good head on my shoulders and feels I can pull it off even knowing I was 20. I took the offer I was there as a gm for just over a year before the company went belly up due to greed at the top. The ceo took the money and left the country. I fired 7 other employees for theft a d made the store go from losing 1-9k a month to making over 120k a month. With less staff

One of the best quitting jobs I’ve read about (I think, Reddit), was when an older guy told his toxic boss he quit. When his boss told him that he had to give a one month notice, he responded, “Yeah, for the next month you’ll notice I’m not here.”

I worked for a boss who had some dodgy business practices and I reached the end of my tolerance one day, and when my shift ended I said to him “I’m giving my notice effective immediately. I won’t be in tomorrow!” I gave no explanation or warning.

[@TRIUMVIRATEMEDIA]

My problem with a notice. Is usually the employer is not held to the same standard. If I'm being fired for poor performance, not for a particular incident, they'll still fire me that day and expect me to leave that day with zero notice. I completely understand if I do something to get fired like steal or yell at a customer, I would expect to be fired but with that in mind, if they do something to me that warrants me quitting I don't think I should have to give notice.

[@deathandcats]

Assaulting a customer? Fired. Bad for business, bad look all around. The manager should have stepped in long before things escalated to that point anyway. But yelling at a customer, especially if there have been major stressors (you're under a lot of pressure, the customer was yelling & swearing at you, your boss is a bully, etc.)? Is not grounds for being fired. Don't get me wrong - it should get you written up, with some performance coaching and reviewing, and possibly enforced time off, but not fired. Especially if you are able to articulate the extenuating circumstances.

[@clintparsons3989]

You don’t have to give notice if you know you will never come back, or ask for a recommendation, or put them down as a reference. Be aware that future jobs can ask your current employer if they would re-hire you. A two week notice is the difference between them saying yes and you getting the new job or them saying no and you not getting it.

[@TRIUMVIRATEMEDIA]

@@clintparsons3989 Yes, but I've had many jobs. I guarantee not one of them has ever called my references or my past employers. Besides, no one should quit their job until they have another job so you would rarely use the current employer as a reference and you wouldn't want to use an employer that did something to make you quit as your reference.

Both times I met my colleagues for a leaving do afterwards and had the support of all of them and some of them did the same. Another time a non-technical boss shouted at me for not backing up a server when the contents was 10 times the size of any external disk we had... he said "I pay you to fix problems not cause them", so my reply was "well, I have an instant fix for that" and walked out of his office, got my lunch out of the fridge and walked out the door.

The manager tried to lie but we quickly figured out they knew for hours and didn't tell us. I noticed the following week was scheduled the same way so I told them that day and quite a few more times the next week that if the schedule didn't change that I would not be in. When I didn't show they tried to claim it was a no call no show which I corrected them on.

I've got a pretty funny one. So back around 1991 I was still in the US Navy reserve and was down in NAS Jacksonville (Florida) doing my annual two weeks active duty training. As it so happened, Labor Day fell at the end of my two weeks duty. Interstate 95 (I-95) is the main north/south interstate highway that runs from Maine all the way down to Key West, Florida and so it runs right through Jacksonville. As it so happened, the section of I-95 that ran through Jacksonville was undergoing repaving/resurfacing while I was down there that summer, so there were a few miles of highway where the lanes were compressed down from 4 to 2, reflective construction drums lined the sides of the highway, gas-powered messaging boards advising of traffic conditions ahead, etc.... you know, the normal stuff you typically encounter when driving through a highway construction zone. So the first week I was down there, the message board by the side of the highway at the beginning of the construction zone just said something like "Construction ahead. Speed limit 25mph" or something prosaic like that. However, on the Friday afternoon of Labor Day Weekend (which is a 3 day weekend here in the US), someone (probably a college summer hire who was returning to school the next week) changed the message to read "F%ck you, Dan". That message flashed on the board ALL weekend long!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how many tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people saw that message. Every time I passed it I just about died laughing. Yeah, F you, Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bit of context to the guy that made a leave notice similar to a break up. In the USA there's usually not a law stating you have to stay employed any longer than you want to. There's just a tradition of 2 weeks notice. When we quit, we say 'We're turning in our 2 weeks notice.' That 1st to 12th thing was exactly 2 working weeks. We can also just walk out of the building and let them figure it out. This isn't 1 way though. US businesses can fire anyone at anytime for any reason with no notice, or explanation except those banned by some laws, but those are easy to get around. Some employers are kind, others constantly use this as motivation.

[@brendaflower7790]

Laughed so much at that last one I nearly cried😅.We have a couple but nothing to top that.

[@kirkmt]

My daughter did the “sorry for your loss” card when she quit McDonald’s

[@ToriKlassen1]

Long time ago I started a retail job where I was told on the first day that if I called in sick I could be fired, and if I came to work obviously sick I could be sent home and then fired. I found a new job that same day and called them to say I wasn’t coming back. They did not seem concerned, but ok 🤷🏻‍♀️first and last retail job I ever had.

[@nancycariker-moon9890]

Retail is a pain. When working part-time (while in school) I put in a request for a 2-week vacation for an overseas trip with family. I had been there over a year, had never requested days off before, and was consistently the 2nd or 3rd top salesperson (first place lady was untouchable-so my main competitor and I were always trying to outdo each other for that 2nd place slot). My request was denied by management as it was one of the busier times of the year…so I resigned. Because it was just a part-time gig for me and my retail skillset is highly transferable. I’ve never understood their logic bc that left them short-staffed for much longer than the 2 weeks that I had requested. Mgt is pretty shortsighted!

On my last day, it was a truck delivery morning. I worked in a liquor store as a supervisor; at a state run agency. When we received cases of Crown Royal Blackberry whiskey (which is allocated in our state) within the first 43 minutes of being in the store we had 8 patrons rushing in for purchase. Once I got through that last patron I stopped stocking the shelves to go on the computer and search for a picture of Tyrone Biggs (Dave Chappelle character), edited it in Excel with the captions "got any of that blackberry crown royal?" and printed it for the sales counter. Within the hour, another store's manager had walked in (for some not related issue) and saw my little display. She took a picture and sent it to District Management. I got my managers in trouble but honestly, did not care. For a state run agency I and many others should not have worked with the bs befalling us and at parttime positions, pay and no benefits.

[@harryboyes2812]

Those guys have some serious singing talent. Brilliant 👏 😊

[@TallyDrake]

Kinda sad I don't have a job to quit, after hearing that musical number!😊

[@adeptusmagi]

it really takes the cake i wonder where they filed his resignation letter deep freeze ?

[@ThomasScottD]

That first guy never leaves anything on the table!

[@clintparsons3989]

The cake guy is a class act and left on great terms

[@gruby970]

6:08 you seriously comment that with something other than a "lol wtf shove it"? Company pays for 40 hours of employee time per week. He can have 10 side hustles in **HIS** **FREE** time if he wants.

[@aspelund76]

I'm amazed that he was able to write so legibly on the cake.

[@pursuitforspeed]

I don't think I understand why a business would not like someone having a side business like the cake baker. As long as the side hustle isn't conflict of interest, ie you work as a consultant and your side hustle is consulting, there's no issues. They don't get to decide what you do in your spare time. I know that's not necessarily the case here, but just commenting on your commentary.

[@lilfizz1619]

That guy's icing ability is insane /pos

[@georgiak6017]

I emailed my resignation. Everyone who asked me what I was going to do, I told a different story 😂

[@tomarmstrong3800]

That first clip cracked me up hahaha

[@Ben-Askins]

Me too 🤣

[@windofhorus666]

he was taking the biscuit dropping the link to his business though

[@abkeener81]

That last one drew attention. And I can see it both ways. As a skit or for real. I’m Andrew.

[@G.G.8GG]

Makes me want a redo of my working life so I could sing my way out the door!

[@handlesrstupid123]

I hated how one business treated 2nd shift so much 1/3 into the day I smashed keyboard walked the fuck out, Ive been working manufacturing and lately trades my whole life but that place was something else they should of just not had 2nd shift for how poorly they treated them

[@deathandcats]

Let's be honest - places like Maccas usually have so many casuals, and people applying for casual positions, that you don't *really* need to give a full 2 wks notice. It's polite to do so, and it does make it easier on the person who looks after the rosters, but in the fast food industry if someone walks off the job, unless they are a manager or have a specific skill set that takes some time to learn, it's not even a blip on the radar of interrupting how that business functions.

[@ShoRyuBarbie]

I tried the website and I don't think things worked out well for Mr. Cake.

[@BrainboxccGames]

the cake one is excellent :D

[@mikeoxlong9210]

The cake is epic

[@secret.headquarters]

You should look up Doug Walker quits. He quit his job spectacularly when his KZbin channel started to make money

[@carlossanders8427]

I should have done the "Sorry for your loss" one on my PhD supervisor hahaha

[@Ben-Askins]

🤣

[@leelee7731]

Love a person who can style in orange

The cake is addressed to The Border Force Scotland, it is a civil service job.

[@derekwright2388]

He was based at Stanstead airport in Essex,

[@sammorrow7007]

i didn't know Stanstead in Essex is now in Scotland, maybe look at a map before commenting, also The border force Scotland isn't a thing, since it's not a devolved power and is reserved to Westminster, but hey at least your tried

[@danpeters6874]

There’s a video on KZbin of a guy who hired a marching band to announce he was quitting his job at a hotel

[@dww6]

I handed my McDonald's resignation in on a napkin after i was lied to and told i was scheduled for the 8th time.

[@ChrisJones-bp7ij]

If someone quits and doesn't work their notice has any company in the UK ever taken someone to a tribunal? I can understand if maybe it was a high end job like lawyer, but would McDonald's or a care company really take someone to court for say resigning with immediate effect?

[@Dauersterbesendung]

The problem with it i have: you said yourself its not ok for emplyers to "humiliate" you and fire you in front of others - but this is ok then ?

[@ithinkitmightbe]

I got pulled into a meeting out of nowehere at a job where I was doing sending and receiving of product we made in house. In the meeting I was told i was getting a written warning for my "performance" no indication of what that was just that they expected better. So I stood up and went, well, I quit, f**k you all, went downstairs, wrote on a peice of paper I quit, let everyone in the office know what happened and walked. About a year or so later the manager was fired from her role for the same "lack of performance"

[@Wabsirba]

Shop Rite customers? Yo, that's local for me! Shop Rite is only in my county.

That song is fully stuck in my head now! 😂

[@amacot656]

That last one... i think i will copy that, or the one with a marching band.... I have yet to get so damn abused by work that it would requires such show

[@ike8194]

Hope the mrcake is doing alright since the website doesn’t seem to be up

[@carolinebjerkelund767]

I don't think he would tell his old boss his real new cake business name.

[@StrawberryFieldsNIR]

@@carolinebjerkelund767 It was a website until 2019.

[@lokicooper4690]

If you Google Mr. Cake UK, his instagram and Facebook pop up. From a note on FB last month, he’s now a manager at an emergency homeless shelter, something he says he is very passionate about (apparently stuff happened during the pandemic).

[@gruby970]

7:48 "it's not how notice period works", huh?

[@GeorgieB1965]

I've only heard of epically wimpy quitting. We had one at my former agency. Made it through orientation (one day); went to the school, and never came back from lunch (1/2 day).

[@princess45590]

How do I contact you please?

[@molsky13]

How has a employer become the enemy how has the work place become this bad?

[@jc1400]

I want to win the lottery not tell anyone and come into wok and say exactly what is on my mind. I’m sure security would drag me out within an hour. But I’d go down hurling all the things I want to say to my moronic coworkers.

[@larapalma3744]

Just keep in mind that this ONLY WORKS if the economy allows it! Hasn't been this way for MOST of the time time!

[@RogbodgeVideo]

Sadly the cake maker's website is no longer active.

[@Pattiefair]

I'm so going to keep this

[@tomkindall936]

Keep in mind in the US more jobs are at will meaning the company can fire you at anytime and for any reason. Your comment regarding the shortened notice period of the McDonalds worker doesn’t apply. Any notice period an employee gives is a courtesy not a requirement. Since the pandemic it has become common to give no notice at all. I returned to the workforce after having been retired. I decided the job wasn’t for me and gave a traditional 2 weeks notice, everyone was surprised. I was told in most hourly positions no 1 gives notice anymore, nevertheless I did. I suppose because there is no loyalty to employees from companies anymore employees have decided what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

Mr Cake went through addiction is now the manager of a homeless shelter according to his facebook. Looks likenthjbgs havent been going his way since leaving that conpany.

[@jainthorne4136]

Really? He beat addiction and is working to help others. Sounds to me like he's a positive force in the world.

[@ninthcouncil]

Not a company but UK Border Force, a pretty soul destroying job in itself.

[@mitchelnorton2692]

Iwas fired everyday at work. I was a human cannonball.

You could always quit like Lindsay McDougall did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6G4q4eKbap2qNEsi=d8n7-RsoIu_bwHh6
