re: The worst way you've left a job

Worked at a Winn Dixie while in high school. When I went to college I got transferred to the Winn Dixie near there. Worked in the produce dept which was located next to the flower dept. The floral manager was a pretty good looking divorced 35 year old mother of 1. We would always flirt with each other and she even took me out a few times. Nailing an older women straight out of high school was quite an experience! Produce manager was a fat arse piece of shite who was in love with her(even proposed to her).She couldn't stand him. He would always give me a shite load of work to do on my shifts.Other guys in the dept told me he would do this on purpose. Finally had enough one shift and walked out. Went back the next week to collect my check and told the store manager to eat a dick. Hated that place.

Not me, but one of my old secretaries went to lunch and left a note on her chair that said “bye”. Didn’t even bother packing her personal shite.

Buddy of mine worked at movie gallery in high school. They pissed him off about something so he decided to quit. Saturday evening at about 7 when his manager called it a night. He puts on some raunchy arse porn on the store TV's and cranks the volume all the way up and walks out.

I still laugh to this day thinking about people walking in to some frick fest cranked up to 10 with no one in the store.

Went to lunch. Never came back

Gave an 8hr notice last month.

Unfortunate circumstances, but they owed me over 10k between a job bonus, expenses, and my 1st of the month pay check and I didn’t think they would pay it if I gave a formal notice.

It was a startup organization where things are really tight and revenue has been very low. I did what I had to do for the best possible outcome for #1, myself.

ETA: reading others in here I’m realizing my situation was a bit different.

It was a tech sales position. After about a month on the job I knew I hated it. VP of sales was in town so I called in sick. Later that night told them I was taking another offer. Told them I didn’t think a two-week notice would be appropriate.

That was about a year and a half ago and It was the best decision I ever made.

I quit a job working at Eddie Bauer at the MOL in college by not showing up. To be fair, I worked every shift they gave me including Black Friday (which sucked arse). Between then and Christmas I had like two scheduled shifts but was basically “on call” every weekend. How that worked was I’d have to call in at 11:30 and 2 to see if they needed me. Didn’t get paid for that, btw. Finally I got tired of basically pissing away my weekends during the Holidays sitting in my apartment in BR alone not making money, so I went home. They called me in on Christmas Eve or the day before after I didn’t work for almost a month and I wasn’t in BR. Quit over the phone.

I’ve seen some good ones though. Saw a lady quit an admin position because the VP told her, I shite you not, to make him a sandwich. She said no, he said something really ugly to her, and she blew up and yelled something along the lines of “egotistical psychopath” whilst storming out the door
He was later fired for embezzlement.

Back in college I was hired by UPS as a loader during the holidays. About an hour and a half into my shift I told the guy I was working with I had to take a shite, walked right past the bathroom to my truck and drove away.

I pulled out of the parking lot my last day at my first teaching job blaring "Take This Job and Shove It" as I drove past the principal.
