Quitting your job stories

Put in my 2 week notice and worked the entire 2 weeks. Started my new job the next Monday and went golfing with my old boss that Saturday.

Pretty boring.

Not from your summer job or dragging up at the burger king where it's expected. Serious adult jobs. Why did you leave and what was the outcome?

I left my last job because my supervisor created an extraordinarily tense, toxic workplace where I was walking on eggshells. Coworkers in tears, one colleague warning me about another, snitching, supervisor camped out by the elevator waiting to see when another colleague arrived in the morning, etc.

Not thrilled about my current job, but it's a comfortable position while I think about my future.

Put in my two weeks. Only really liked one Co-worker. Agreed to work for her so she could leave town a day early to visit family. After I knew she was on her flight I called off sick. Boss called me about an hour later giving me shite for calling off so I said just consider it my last act as an employee for this shite company (worst place I ever worked). Hung up and went to a tailgate. Started with new company 8 days later and still with them to this day.

Employers display little to no loyalty to their employees, so why should I?

When it’s time to depart I generally stick to the 2 day notice protocol.

I quit 2 day, later bitches.

Boss wouldn’t let me use his private bathroom

I got a job as an entry level programmer out of college. The pay was a good bit under the average of starting pay for that position but they assured me in the interviews that it was temporary for the first 6 months. I figured this was a good opportunity to get my feet wet with the promise that my pay would reflect the market after the evaluation period.

As time went by, I started to see red flags from my boss. A lot of backtracking about items we discussed. The biggest being told that if I could figure out a solution for a year long problem, then my evaluation period would end. I worked my arse off and resolved the issue. After a couple of weeks of my boss not bringing up the end of the evaluation period, I brought it up myself. He said, they couldn’t end it early. I was highly upset but figured I only had a couple more months to go.

Fast forward to the end of my eval period, I had a meeting with my boss and the VP of the company. They blow a bunch of smoke up my arse then hand me the new salary sheet. The salary was still way below the starting range. I mentioned the promises made and discussed the salary range for my position. They both said they couldn’t do it right now but promised that they would be able to do even better than the market in the near future. (this was a highly successful company so money shouldn’t have been an issue.) I laughed, stood up and walked to the doorI turned back around and said, “this meeting is over, right?”

After that, I immediately went to my desk and started applying for jobs. I wasn’t even trying to hide it. Found one pretty quick that ended up being a great opportunity.

I'm gonna come back to this. Only had 2 jobs my whole adult life. Gotta think how to give it justice. I'll be right back

Had a blow up with a close co worker/friend of sorts. Water under the bridge now but knew it'd never be the same again.
