Have any of you ever quit a job without putting in any sort of notice? I have. I used to work as a server at a local pizzeria and was having problems with really bad anxiety/stress from it. I have worked at that job for five years. I had just recently transferred stores that year because my favorite GM was working there and I wanted to follow him so he assured me that I would get good hours at this store. Shortly after I transferred, the GM I liked ended up getting sick and they had to promote one of the assistant managers to fill in his role. This assistant manager was a total BITCH and she hated my guts (Never knew why). She wrote me up for the stupidest of things, shit that didn't make sense. Once she wrote me up for doubling portions on a salad and I had rung it up so I never misportioned it? She also let coworkers harass me to the point where I would leave the store everyday crying but they never got written up for it or anything just "talked" to. She actually was partly the cause of my coworker that committed suicide as well. She had gotten in trouble for stealing money (which isn't right) but they ended up suspending her for a couple weeks when they have found out. The night she committed suicide, she was told of this news. She went home and ended her life that night. Then THIS BITCH of a GM has the NERVE to tell us the next day when we heard the news and was grieving that we needed to act cheerful. Um, no bitch someone just COMMITTED suicide! Couple months after that happened I ended up searching for another job. This took me a couple of months to find something, but I found a place to work at the company my mom works at. I got hired on the spot and was asked if I could start that Friday. I had to be at my job with Mrs. Bitch then but I didn't care. Ended up telling my mom that I was going to call in and terminate my employment. I knew this bitch was going to try and fight with me and I didn't want to hear it, so I ended up hanging up on her. Here's how the convo went.

Me: Hello this is Morgan and I wanted to tell you that I won't be coming in ever because I quit. GM: Ok, are you going to give a two weeks notice? Me: Nope. GM: -gets pissed- After everything I have done for you, you're going to do this to me?! Me: -hangs up- 😆

It has been a year since this has happened and I couldn't be happier than I am. My anxiety and stress went down tremendously and I LOVE my new job! :)

Tl;DR: Quit on the spot when I was offered a new job. anyone else have any stories?

That...absolutely sucks. What a horrible person. I’ve quit one job without notice and it was because I barely got any hours. Like I got a $0 paycheck once because I didn’t work once during that pay period despite having completely open availability. My last job I worked for 3 years and I dealt with absolutely shitty management but I only quit because I was moving plus I gave them 3 weeks notice. Work already sucks, having crappy supervisors and management makes it unbearable. I’m glad you like your new job :)

i must have quit some previous job without notice. but i generally got fired. XD >_> not that i care anymore, for now i'm working the best job for me, and one i wanted and am pretty good at, and i'm happy. :D

I'm glad things worked out for you as well :) but the nerve of that GM! she did nothing for you, from what you told us! she needed to be written up, not you! >.<

I love a good job quitting story. Also when employers think they've done soooo much for you and you owe them something. Actually no, it's a fair exchange where you've given them your labor and some CEO skims off the top and buys a Mercedes in the process. One can argue that an employee's time is usually worth more than their wages. I hate her, I love that you hung up xD is there a headquarters you can call to let them know she is an unfit manager?

Mine aren't nearly as cool. In every job Ive hated, Ive just given some indirect reason for quitting (health, moving) and left it at that.

Wasn't worth my trouble at the time but she isn't working there anymore for personal reasons lol

I have a doozy:

I worked at a gym for a while a couple years back, mostly because I needed to get out of another bad job that wanted me in to work while we had a literal ice storm going on outside but that's another matter...

Anyways, the boss/owner of this particular establishment bought up the gym in the first place because she thought that her job was in jeopardy at another place and needed another place to work just in case that happened. And it showed. I mean, the gym suffered, we lost people because of this woman being holier than thou, rude af, etc. She just is not a likable person in the slightest. Ran the gym into the ground. I was the go-to in case of a shift needing covered, worked above and beyond, made an effort to get over my own social anxieties while being told to my face that wasn't good enough despite my other coworker being incredibly unsocial and really rude. I endured a woman actually coming at me and backing me up down a hall while she was screaming at me about how rude I was for not letting her come in to do something that would take half an hour when I was closing the place in five minutes.

I was working there on the cusp of my 25th-26th years, which since I'm in the US, that meant that I was coming off my parents insurance about a month after I turned 26. I needed insurance papers and proof of income, the whole works, and the owner of this gym sent the paper notebook (because she has a thing against technology like most older people) and had it at some accountant's. I told her that's fine but I needed the papers as soon as possible, gave her the deadline I was given and left it on that, on the note that she would get the paper to me later that day.

Later that day turned into her lying to my face. She claimed later that day that she never told me this, that I was being rude and unprofessional, and threatening. To the point of where she called in my manager to mediate what was going on between the two of us because she thought I was going to assault her. (I'd never. Nor would I want to bruise my knuckles on someone like that, thanks.) The owner hung up on me, got the papers and later that day, at the end of my shift, wanted to talk to me outside with the manager. I knew what was coming because I was ready to walk out anyways and since I was a keyholder at that time, I told the boss I wouldn't give her the key but I would to the manager because - at that point - she and I were on good-ish terms. (I later learned she royally threw me under the bus because I was expendable as the youngest/lowest on the ranking totem pole there.)

I was fired on the spot, informed that I wouldn't get a good recommendation from her and on getting the papers I finally needed, after I explained to the woman who was helping me sort my insurance out that my employer was being extremely problematic and was likely to do this, I left. I almost didn't get the last paycheck either, lmfao. I also asked the ex-boss why in the world I would want a recommendation from her anyways. I never got an answer to that.

Fast forward to last year: I saw the ex-boss at the market once. We looked at each other and she crossed far away from me, while checking constantly over her shoulder to make sure I wasn't there. XDD

I still hear stories from others who have met this woman and how much they absolutely loathe her. Ironically, her name's Joy.

Oh lord what a toxic woman. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with someone like her. 0.0

As am I, I don't wish her on anyone. All that to say, I relate.

I tried working at a hotel. New to the job and was actually really excited to learn! ..I admit stuff did not come easy to me at all. Some of the people teaching me didnt know what they were doing and I was supposed to shadow them! Got a new gm who said i wasnt needed n could work somewhere else in the hotel if i wanted. I was gutted! I loved greeting people n trying to help schedule..even if they barely showed me how to. The next day higher ups come and tell me im basically doing a bad job because i, “should know everything in two weeks.” Even though i was hardly taught right. I was set up to fail..a phrase i always think about when thinking of that job. It sucked because i really enjoyed it.. They then said,”Hey, work in another part of the hotel so we can get everyone on the same page n train you with them.” I was naive to believe it and i did...unfortunately.. I got sent to the kitchen n thought, hey! Ill be working with that one women who needed help! That will be nice!! WRONG! She constantly said i was doing this or that wrong, why did i get stuck with you, etc(and she wondered why so many people quit with her.) and i was in a VERY tiny kitchen stuck with her everyday. One day i just rushed to the gms room, wrote something like happy employee hunting and left. Two weeks notice is not enough for verbal abuse every day in a small enclosure. I cant believe a friend said i should have stuck with it, ya no thanks. I do miss one girl who was alongside me. Said id make it at this job. I believe if i worked at her other hotel job and got the manager she told me helped her..i would have..

Even though i miss the excitement of that job the one i have now isnt so bad. I get to greet over 75 ppl n talk to them so thats cool.

Once I quit a job, by text, from across the country. It was my first job and I got it during the summer to hold me over during college. . . without quite telling the hiring manager that I only needed a summer job during my interview, for fear I wouldn't get the job, as I really needed it at the time.

I took a few days off to fly to visit my fiance, who lived across the country at the time, and though it was originally only supposed to be a 7 day visit, my fiance turned to me the night before I was supposed to leave and said, "Miss your flight." And so. . . I did. I don't regret it at all. Turned into a month long visit, and I got to spend so much time with my love in my arms before college started back up. We even have an apartment together now!

I was too anxious to message my boss, to be honest. I had to have my fiance press the send button for me, and I asked her to delete the text thread for me so I wouldn't read it over and over and hate myself for doing something so irresponsible. But it was about time for me to quit, regardless, to head back to university for the semester, so. . .

Here we are!

I might have to quit my job relatively soon. My boss doesn't seem to understand the meaning of 'availability', among other things. And if I leave, I'm going to do so without notice, because I feel like I receive nothing but disrespect here and they don't deserve the notice. They don't deserve my respect in return. I don't have to worry about the reference though, because one of the managers is my friend and she agrees with me that it's bullshit how the big boss treats us - she's agreed to be my reference, so I'm fine on that angle. I'm just so pissed that I've put four years of hard work into this place and they can't so much as give me the respect of a yearly review or a raise or understanding that other commitments, even though they're not paid, are just as important as this job.

I got suspended for buying six two cent books...a grand total of 12 cents.

I ended up quitting not even ten mins later. They've been singling me out ever since the new assistant took over. Oh well, three years making $8.50 wasn't worth the stress any more. I just started a job at $11/hr, so no worries.

I quit a supervisor job because of an incident with management. Our store manager, at a big name department store, had been cutting employee's paycheck's off at 40 hours (not paying them the overtime that they worked).

One employee noticed it and hired a lawyer, so when she contacted the corporate office they fired that manager and started an investigation of the computer logs to be able to pay the employees for anything that he jipped them of. Well, the HR is the one who would actually enter/delete parts of a shift from the computer. Yes, it was the manager instructing the HR to do it, but they only fired that manager and not the HR. That HR had never reported it or refused to do it (it apparently went on for at least 6 months), so I feel she was just as much at fault.

But, somehow, they STILL didn't fire her. I didn't feel comfortable staying at a place where she would be managing my time punches, so when I found out that she would be staying I just walked out.

HOOO BOY I have a lot to say about this one lmao. I've quit with no notice a couple of times for very good reasons, but the one that comes to mind was a long time coming. I used to work at Teavana when that was still a thing. I loved working in the store, hated working for the company.

There was a TON of shady sh*t going down when I first got hired in that I slowly discovered alongside the rest of my coworkers; stuff like how, when the Starbucks acquisition first began in 2012, they didn't even tell the employees it was happening. I learned from a customer that we had been bought out when he asked me about it at the sample cart, because it was already in the news!!! When I tried to talk to my GM about it, she played it off like it was no big deal they didn't tell us, and how great it was going to be because Starbucks gives benefits even for part-time employees.

None of us ever saw any benefits except for that GM. Shortly after that we hired a new ASM for the store and even she was getting jerked around. She was told by our DM repeatedly that she needed to take hour+ long breaks, signed out of the store, leaving it with no manager whatsoever, because we were always somehow over payroll (which was the DM's fault because he handled payroll, but okay.)

The DM was just a piece of crap in general. He would come into our store and literally steal our sales mid-conversation for himself and then berate us in front of customers for not selling them more crap they didn't need. One time he actually stepped in front of me as I was ringing up a customer, physically pushing me away from the register, and wrote "add-ons?????" ON THE POS SCREEN with a dry erase marker. And yes, the customer DID notice, and she was FINE with the fact that I "only" sold her $100 worth of crap when she came in for $20.

They were constantly changing up our 'sales process,' the way they wanted us to talk to the customers, and for the most part it was incredibly manipulative, dishonest, and rude. Customers and employees alike hated it. We actually had something they CALLED the "five times no rule." That meant a customer had to actually say "no" to use FIVE TIMES before we were 'allowed' to back off from a sale. Then they'd tell us we didn't have to use that for several months; and then we'd get in trouble for not using it all of a sudden.

Most of us didn't do that stuff. The DM and GM always did, but most of us had common sense and knew that customers don't like to be fucking treated that way. One of the last straws was when they started promising a bunch of us that we'd have some shift lead positions open soon and we would be eligible to get promoted; then, they hired completely new people into the store to take those positions at a lower wage.

Well, needless to say, after about a year of this the entire staff was fed up. And I mean the entire staff. We all quit within a couple of weeks of each other; me, the ASM, literally every single shift lead, and everyone else that worked under them except maybe like 1 or 2 people who were so new I hadn't even met them.

I was the first to go, and no, I gave them no notice. The last straw was when I picked up a second job. Of course I wasn't meeting my sales because I wasn't selling thousands of dollars of teaware every single week in a small midwestern town. So I told the GM I had interviewed for a second job and I would be starting in 2 weeks. She said, "Oh, that's fine, but in the future you need to give me a full month's notice of any schedule changes." That had never once been the policy, ever. I worked multiple jobs throughout my time there and not there, nor anywhere else that I have EVER worked, has a MONTH out been the policy. Two weeks is standard everywhere and more than enough time.

So yeah, I emailed them the day of, told them exactly how I felt about the way they treated us, informed them I could not continue to work for them for the sake of my health, and that I would not be coming in to finish any of my shifts. I intentionally didn't give them the proper notice because I knew I'd try to go back if I didn't sever my ties with them permanently. I wanted to make sure I couldn't get rehired there because it was honestly like an abusive relationship. I loved the tea, I loved the customers, I loved what I did there, but the company was a piece of crap and always had been and they treated us like we were the dumbest people alive.

FTR, when Starbucks bought Teavana the CEO of the company got some $600 million for himself, and also got to keep his salaried position at the head of the brand. He continued to push the five times no rule and other manipulative sales practices that profited him and only him. That year for our 'Christmas bonus,' they gave us each a bunch of "free" tea. We later found out that Starbucks had ordered every store, every single one, to bag up their current stock of tea in big trash bags and destroy it. Our tea walls were practically empty for over a month (and yet we were still expected to sell the same amount, so yes, we did get in trouble!), and they gifted us literal garbage. We made just barely over minimum wage, including the ASM and GM. I think that ASM made like maybe a dollar or two more than us. SO GENEROUS.

Anyway, it was one of the funnest and simultaneously most horrible jobs I've ever had and I'm still friends with several of the people who I worked there with.

I quit a job in a call center with no notice once as well because the shift lead they gave me was literally Regina George - he even wore pink on Wednesdays to play it up because everyone hated him so much. He wouldn't let his subordinates go to the freaking bathroom. I told HR about him on the way out and they actually offered me a job in another department, but dozens of people had complained about this guy being abusive and nobody would fire him, so I nope'd right out of there.
