Work

<p>Human beings can tolerate a lot when it comes to earning a paycheck. But we all have our limits. And when a job pushes us too far, sometimes we have no choice but to say &quot;screw it, I quit!&quot; (or slightly phrasing, but this is a PG website!) and walk out of a job without even giving two weeks notice.</p><p>In a popular thread on Reddit, which is <em>not</em> a PG website, someone asked: &quot;what&#39;s your &#39;f**k this, I quit!&#39; story?&quot;</p><h2>These 19 people share the moments a former job pushed them to their breaking point:</h2><p>1.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/CaffineFuledGamer/">CaffineFuledGamer</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I got a write up for cussing to the air when everyone else did it regularly (supervisor was just mad that the inventory part of my job get him caught doing bullshit) and when I called HR I was told the only reason I still have a job is because my parents work there and anyone can do my job.</p> <p>So I told her I guess you guys don&#39;t need me then. Packed up my sh*t and left.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>A few months later I caught up with a few former co-workers and apparently the company lost two huge contracts because the inventory department couldn&#39;t keep up, had to hire 3 people to cover what I did in 30 hours a week, and the supervisor was fired after he was caught stealing a large amount of product (entire pallets at a time)</p> </blockquote><p>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SenorDongles/">SenorDongles</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I used to work at a bowling alley in the cafe kitchen when i was like 19. One particular night, i was the only one in the kitchen during a slammed rush. I get everything out (somehow) in a timely manner, clean the kitchen, then go it for a smoke. The GM walks out a minute later and proceeds to ream me, telling me im a lazy no good piece of sh*t, etc. Etc.</p> <p>I finish my smoke, go back in, pull off my uniform shirt and name tag, set it on the cafe counter and walk out the front door without a word.</p> <p>F**k you, Paul.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Grugger2/">Grugger2</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I worked at a movie theater for about 2 years when Star Wars 7 came out, which was hectic enough. But we also have to work holidays there. So, I was working on Christmas day, when I was informed via radio that one of the theaters had a mess to be cleaned. When I arrived I found a pile of human poop on the ground. I put down my broom and walked out. I never even told them why I left, didn&#39;t feel like I needed to justify that.</p> </blockquote><p>4.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/clownbird/">clownbird</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>Working at a tech support call center. I put in for a day off for my birthday a month in advance. Boss forgot to process my request and said I couldn&#39;t get it off when I asked about it closer to the date, saying something about time off requests being locked due to &quot;upcoming trainings&quot;</p> <p>Those trainings were two weeks after my birthday.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>5.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/austintx-16/">austintx-16</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I was in the same position for two years and was actively looking at other positions within the same company. Bosses knew about it, it was just time for a change and to advance my career. Great opportunity came up and I was offered the position. However my current leadership blocked me because I received a &ldquo;promotion&rdquo; six months prior. That promotion was literally an automatic email that said congrats you&rsquo;re now level 2 instead of level 1 because I had met my sales attainment and completed all my yearly trainings. Literally an automated email stopped me from getting promoted and bosses said I had to wait another 18 months. Left that company and went to a competitor doing the same thing for better pay and significantly more support.</p> </blockquote><p>6.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/DeezSkeez25/">DeezSkeez25</a>:</p><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>My boss had my crew and I cut corners on a job, I was fairly new to the position and took what he said as the way it was supposed to get done. Inspectors then came and checked the job because of an unrelated screw-up by another company and in turn found out what we had done. Boss then blamed the whole thing on me and denied he ever told me to do it the it was done. Spent the the next two days replacing all previous work to the way it should have been. Boss then told me that he was not going to pay me for the days of work (14 hours each day)because I was fixing &ldquo;my f**k ups&rdquo;. All the while during the two days getting called a &ldquo;f**king idiot&rdquo; and a &ldquo;liar&rdquo;. F**k you, I quit.</p> <p>Short story: Boss tried to cut corners, got caught, blamed it on me, then refused to pay me to fix it to try and recoup some of the losses he took. I quit.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>7.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dirtybirds233/">dirtybirds233</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I interviewed for a corporate accounting role because public accounting was much less pay, and a lot more hours.

There&rsquo;d be no more working late nights, or having to work on weekends, which was great.</p> <p>I took the job, and within 2 month realized they were lying through their teeth. First off, there was absolutely no training on their processes. I was given enough work for three people, with no direction on how to do it. My manager was so scatter brained, he could never give me any help when I asked. No one talked for 8 hours a day, and it was just an unbelievably bad work culture.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>I&rsquo;d get to work usually at 8:30, and leave at 4:30 while eating lunch at my desk. I came in one day and was told &ldquo;since you&rsquo;re leaving so early, I can only hope you&rsquo;re working from home.&rdquo; Then the next week, we&rsquo;re told we have to come in for a full day Saturday because we had New Years Day off that Monday. My final straw was when I left at 2:30 one day for a doctors appointment. When I came in the next day, my manager pulled me into a room and said that I didn&rsquo;t have enough accrued PTO to do that, and he was going to dock my pay (in a salaried position). Went in the next day, told him it wasn&rsquo;t working out and put my two weeks in. On my last day, he told me I could leave at 11:30 so I did. When I got my final paycheck, he docked my pay for the remainder of that day.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Luckily, the recruiter who got me the job followed up to ask what happened, and I was completely open and honest with her.

He said why can&#39;t you afford it? Because I have been getting ripped off for two months, call me back when you have my money or don&#39;t call me at all. Never did get paid. 17.) From Kilen13: Was at a job for 3 years, consistently in the top 3 of my department in terms of performance. Asked my supervisor repeatedly if I could be recommended for advancement/promotion and he always told me he was trying his best to get me new opportunities. Found out from a friend in a different department that I&#39;d been considered a top candidate for 4 different promotions and each time my supervisor had blocked it.  When I confronted him with this information he told me it was true and he did it because &quot;I could never find someone who does what you do without paying them a lot more&quot;. Internally said f**k this, i quit and found a new job within 3 months. Took all my PTO and on the day I came back I quit 2 hours into the day leaving him high and dry at a peak time. F**k that dude. 18.) From coffeemate805: Summer job in a downtown (scuzzy part of the city) retail store. Repainting the wooden fence around the parking lot. The fence wood was a pattern so on an angle you could see through it. I was painting the one site and a guy walked up on the other side and started pissing on the other side. A stream of piss almost on my head. I yelled and said get the hell out of here. He continued to piss, and then dropped to a squat for a #2. Got up. Packed up the paint brush and paint. Went inside for a break. Boss said what are you doing in, the fence is not done. I said you don&#39;t pay me enough to get pissed on. 19.) From nukagirl: Started dating a guy that one of my coworkers liked. He was a regular customer. She started doing things like spitting in his food, telling my boss I wasn&#39;t working, writing her name on the checklist of our side work and acting like she did every thing and I did nothing.  Then she stole $100 from my drawer and the boss wanted me to pay for it, didn&#39;t believe me because she was friends with the girl. I walked out on the spot. Like a couple months later they caught her stealing again on camera and fired her. Also the guy is my husband now 😊 

Human beings can tolerate a lot when it comes to earning a paycheck. But we all have our limits. And when a job pushes us too far, sometimes we have no choice but to say &quot;screw it, I quit!&quot; (or slightly phrasing, but this is a PG...
