Anyone else quit their job or have any stories about them doing it?

[Anonymous No.57732894]

Currently on week 4 of calling out sick and I have one more week of sick leave then I’m out. Gonna quit and take a three month break from work and then completely switch careers. It’s now or never and I hate my current life so I’m going to change it.

[Anonymous No.57734162]

Not me. I'm unemployed.

uuhhh
i quit my job last month
I'm currently becoming an insurance salesperson, but I'm also looking into helping my family with their businesses (trades) and starting my own in real estate and generally just invest in whatever comes up.
I don't want to wageslave. Nothing crazy 2bh

I quit my job after seeing NVDA climb $100 overnight last year, took out $18k to gamble on stock options for 7 months. Made about $3k, bills and shit wiped out the rest. Tried door dashing to get back into trading but fucked up my car engine, then plasma donation but my blood levels keep testing too low for admission.
Now I’m back at job in debt to family members because it took a month to get a paycheck and I’m borrowing my parent’s truck because my car needs repairs.
If I held those SQ puts overnight, if I bought spy calls during that Powell speech, if I didn’t counter-trade on intuition so much I wouldn’t be at rock bottom right now. Life is a fucking coin flip

I tried to quit the Navy in 2019 and they said no, so I was enslaved until 2022 when new people took over the quitting department and I was allowed to quit. It fucking sucked ass. Never doing that ever again.

At my old WFH job the project managers kept giving me requirements for my assignments that were literal useless garbage (a lot of times they'd give me copypasted requirements that were completely wrong so there was basically no way for me to do shit correctly), so there was a six month period where I barely did any work. My routine was basically get up, spend the first six hours of the day on YouTube, /biz/, and/or some porn site, then maybe spend 30 minutes actually trying to do my assignment if its requirements got unfucked by then. After that I got put on PIP and quit a short while later. The whole experience taught me a lot about how much you can get away with before a company can actually get rid of you for underperforming.

I got hired for a part time job on the side, did the orientation, did the online training, was told I’d get a call from the manager the following week, never got a call, it’s been a month. I’m still “employed” there but thank god I have another job, I had no idea businesses are ghosting their own employees now

I AWOL'd my job last year when they started demanding people to go back to the office, I was hired as a remote worker, so I lived like 5 hours away from their HQ, I just stopped showing up and never returned their equipment.

I quit at the end of 2021. Two weeks after, they required vaccinations and were terminating those who refused, so I would have been in that group regardless. Nothing to say there except I was burnt out and sleep deprived, took more than my 3 spare (non-consecutive) days, for the ENTIRE YEAR, off because I wasn't well enough to drive and the supervisor gave me shit. 4 people quit after me, leaving the store with just one employee and management filling in for my months. Sucks to suck.

What made want to quit? Too much time on the boat? Or the common thing in the military where give you bs jobs or people order you around to haze you? I was under the impression the military is easy as long as you're not getting your leg blown off in combat.

there are tons of reasons people quit, the list is so big that I just deleted it all because I don't want to look at all that negative shit (stopped at 20 lines of greentext). It can be easy but it's still wageslavery

I became disillusioned with the military in its entirety. It was very fake, where the regulations said one thing, but people would just do what they want instead. If I tried to do the right thing, I was punished unofficially. I then was put in a position way above my paygrade, busted ass trying to fix things, and burned out. Then a detailer got a stick up her ass about me and denied my resignation request. Eventually we got a new detailer and I got my next request approved, after being moved across the country to a new base.

Specifically, I was taking JPME courses and realized that the military is just basically fake and gay and I wanted nothing to do with it. That it wouldn't get better as a senior officer; if anything, it would get far far worse.

I worked a shitty tech job in 2021 and left early 2022 when they started looking for reasons to fire me because I would not do additional work outside my job without being compensated or given the inside track for the job I was actually hired for

They pulled me into a meeting with some 22 year old HR newbie and my supervisor with no degree (idc if you don't go to college, guy was genuinely nice but also just not very bright)

They tried to strongarm me and I told them I'm fine with quitting right now in this moment...which somehow threw them off, like they wanted to be able to put me through the ringer first

About one pay cycle later I decided I was quitting at the end of my shift. Shot off a resignation email to HR and my supervisors, said my goodbyes to my coworkers that I liked, and left.

Immediately got hired for a better job that pays double and I can show up whenever, unlimited PTO, cool things like that. Boss is currently giving me additional work at my request so I can make even more money by EOY.

Probably the best move I've ever made in my adult life.

Have posted my story in other threads. WFH chad for 4.5 years and new boss called me into office. I stalled for 3 months and finally went to office to hand in my resignation. Had already secured another comfy WFH gig with more pay. Any other WFH bros out there? How are we feeling?

I quit the same job twice
>Be me
>Work at a casino making 50k a year
>Always playing stocks, fantasy sports, crypto
>Hit big on puts during COVID
>Put in my 2 weeks notice to take a few years off and golf/relax
>Few years later
>Run low on cash
>Go back to same job
>After a year hit for 6 figures playing fantasy sports
>This time don't bother giving 2 week notice and just keep calling off until they consider me to abandon the job
>Run low on cash again
>Find side hustle that pays 50k a year (not Uber or involving my car)
>No health insurance or 401k, but I get to set my own hours, have no boss, never have to leave my apartment so no traffic or wear and tear on my car. Save money on gas too
>Continue taking shots in crypto, fantasy sports, stocks hoping I'll hit another 6 figure scores
>We'll see
Hopefully it works out. I've had multiple runs of low 4 figures up to 6 figures on bnb, link, and random boomer stock options. I'm sure I can do it again.

he was the only one who knew about crypto so I felt comfortable, I hope he does well with whatever he has, or that he doesn't make fun of me for having agrs if I ever see him again, he used to be scared of AIs for some reason

I quit once, but the same very day my buddy also quit. We were hired on the same day, week before another guy quit too. Boss was livid and surprised.
I kept asking when will this business trip to London happen (I wanted to go there because of potential money and how it would look on my resume), they kept postponing. Then they said London, Manchester and Glasgow, not just London. Eh, sure, let's try that but they postponed again. Then they said OK it's Riyad and gave us info on how to behave in Saudi Arabia. Canceled because of the oil price drop. I was making like netto 640€ a month, which was horrible ofc.
So us new three guys quit in 3 days, probably costed HR lady her job too because she slipped out a :"I should kill you" with a smile
Other job I quit because they made us program some Indian shit that nobody uses and there is 0 career progression, 1000€ netto.
After that I got fired from 1800€ netto programming job, then fired from 3200€ netto programming job in Germany, then 3400€ programming job in Germany but because they could not afford me anymore not because I sucked like before.
Last two jobs I was unemployed with 60% salary from unemployment office for more half a year, fucked around.
I'm now unemployed, getting that tax money that I paid to the Kraut back.
