by Damjan 2 weeks ago

The labor market is changing, and it's never going back to the way it was. During the pandemic, a record number of workers left their jobs, and an increasing number of people spoke up about their poisonous workplaces and went public with their resignations.

On social media, resignation notices and anecdotes began to circulate, prompting a wave of others to wonder if they are truly satisfied with their current position. Following this trend, Twitter user Alissa May Atkinson from Brooklyn, NY, posted a story of how “One time I was moving really heavy patio furniture for a restaurant job that paid me $2.63/hr and my coworker said '**** this,' walked away, and neither I nor anyone I knew saw her again.”

The tweet got 203K likes and inspired many people on the platform to share their stories. The thread quickly grew into a humorous compilation of true-to-life and unedited stories of people who have had enough and quit their jobs for good.

We have selected 30 of the best stories and we know you are going to like them. Whatsmore, we hope you will find it insightful and it will point out some red flags that are clear messages that you should walk away from your job and never look back.

It's all too easy to get caught up in the midst of a problem, get tunnel vision, and then simply quit without considering the implications. Take a step back and try to look at your entire situation objectively before quitting your work.

Think about what you're going to say before you say it. You want to make sure your ego isn't getting in the way.

Before quitting your job, think carefully. Will you truly be pleased with all the implications for the next few days, weeks, and months if you left your work right now?

Or will you be sorry? Is it even possible for you to quit your job?

How will it seem on your resume? When we're upset or frustrated, we can't think clearly, so you'll need to wait until those feelings have passed before you can examine your position objectively.

But on the other hand, leaving bosses with their jaws wide open feels so good.
