Everyone has their breaking point.
Most of us have to work like, we have no choice.
“I was tired of doing a three-person job.
I returned from vacation one day to find piles and piles of work that other people could have done.
I quit, packed my shit and left.”

I waited until the first day of her two-week vacation to schedule it and put in my notice.
It ruined my daughter’s vacation.”

Our professor expected us to go and write a paper.
It was a decent chunk of our grade.”
“The weekend comes up and lo and behold, I’m scheduled doubles Friday through Sunday.
I hunt down the manger and say I can’t do that and I’ve given months' notice.
She shrugged and said, ‘That isn’t my problem.’
I told her, ‘It is now’ and left.

“Worked in retail, and sprained my ankle really bad while ice skating.
Couldn’t so much as get out of bed.
For a physical injury that physically made it so I could not do my job.
I threw a cold cup of coffee on him and walked out.
My only regret is that the coffee was cold.”

“I worked at an upscale busy bar a couple of years back right after COVID.
We were constantly understaffed, overworked, and treated like shit from management and customers.
My manager’s fearful, confused face while asking, ‘Where are you going?!
What are you doing?!’
Best decision I made and Im not joking, lmao.”

“The company told me I was to enforce two new policies: 1.)
All employees must take their unpaid lunch break in specific areas, under very specific circumstances.
“They replied, ‘Either you enforce the policies or you resign your position.’
I said See Ya!!!!
They begged me to reconsider and to not make a ‘bad decision’ just because I was upset.
Unfortunately, I was already out the door.”

Apparently he was eagerly awaiting the call I answered and would have preferred I interrupted him.
I threw a pencil at the wall and said, ‘Do I look like a mind reader?
Cut me my check; I quit.’
He tried hard to backpedal, but there had been many, many previous straws.”

I stayed late that night drafting a company-wide ‘F**k you’ email.

“I was 16, working at a gas station.
The owner went on a hunting trip.
His wife came in and opened the safe, took money, and left.
I was accused of stealing it.
He called the cops and admitted to them that only he and his wife had the combination.
He was a f’ing moron.”
