I remember when I was like 17 , I was working for a supermarket in the produce section.
I slept in one day and the supervisor called asking why I wasn’t at work. I was half asleep and just said ‘oh didnt you hear I quit?’ and he was like ''ummm no I didn’t know that" . ‘Well yeah I quit.’ awkward silence… ok bye.
Then I went back to sleep.
I guess I shouldn’t of kept them as a reference on my resume
Tadaaaaa.
i’ve never given notice. just quit and find a new job. i’ve walked off a couple times mid shift. usually i get the feeling that im going nowhere and life is passing me by and i just walk out and don’t tell anyone. it’s a bad habit but it’s also one of the greatest feelings in the world.
i think these states are all “at will” employment which means they can fire you for whatever, or you can quit for whatever. i’ve never felt loyalty to an employer.
When I quit I told the receptionist. They called after a few minutes right when I left their building at 2pm. I told them I quit to return to university.
When I was 16 I started working for an answering service the graveyard shift. It was my first job. I was ok staying up all night and I did ok with the job basically but I was still learning. One night I got a call on the mental health hotline which sort of gets your adrenaline going anyway but the woman on the other end said in a shrill voice “I just flushed my baby down the toilet”. Then she hung up. To this day I don’t know if that was a prank call or someone who had a miscarriage and needed to talk to mental health. Anyway it totally freaked me out and I had to call the supervisor over to calm me down. After that I told her I couldn’t work there anymore but my older brother would love the job. So she hired him to start the next day. He did quite well. So the answer is yes, I have left without giving notice, but no, I didn’t leave them high and dry.
I worked for Dominos as a delivery driver, and I disappeared for two weeks, and when I went back I had been replaced as they thought something had happened to me
I had a job that involved being on ladders a lot with no safety equipment. On the second day I said that I’m not going up that f*cking ladder no matter how much they paid me. Got in my car, went home, and went to sleep.
I done all these, i am not reliable at all. I always told my workcolleages that i am leaving. Sometimes the bakery relied on me otherwise they wouldn’t have any products to sell without me. I ve been ripped off badly in some jobs. I am so happy i don’t have to work anymore. Thanks god. Today i have another day off. For the last 10 years. When i think about it, psychiatry helped me to reach the level of unemployment. Anyways, i feel better for it, but i miss the money.
