I know it’s not the right thing to do at all because you never know, but I am curious if you ever quitted on the spot, as in you just go to your manager and say “I can’t take this anymore, I quit effective immediately”. Even better if it’s just via email, or perhaps just stop showing up at work and let them figure it out, we have some bullshit unlimited vacation policy so they can’t even pay those back. I am 100% sure I wouldn’t want to ever work again with the managers I am working with and with most of my team mates, I’d rather be on food stamps. I worked in other good teams in the last and this ain’t it. Again, I am probably not going to do it and just give my couple weeks notice, but curious to hear other experiences. I don’t have another job lined up but I have 30x my living expenses covered through my portfolio, so I could chill a few months looking for a new gig. I am not looking to retire, I like tech, I just don’t like stupid people.
30x monthly or yearly expenses? -If monthly, suck it up until you get an offer since it's comfy amount but not that much -if yearly, do whatever the fuk you want
Only when I was right out of school. It was for a dangerous job where personal safety was an issue and need to be on guard all the time. Common for people to quit for this reason (not gonna name the profession cause it might ID me). One morning after a night shift I stayed in my car for 10-30min. Walked into office and told them to take me off all my future shifts. They asked if I was quitting, yes. Never risk your sanity or safety for a job if you don't have to. Life is long.
Take PTO first, if that doesn't help then put your 2 weeks notice. But start looking now.
I hated my previous job too. But it's not worth quitting on the spot. I feel once you put in your resignation, you can just coast till the end really, no pressure. Would be different if you had offers and interviews lined up.
Have done it at least twice, maybe three times, (all engineering jobs) depending how it is defined - notably, each time without a job lined up, and the last time I left a $125k bonus on the table (seven months from a retention payout). Can't recommend it enough, but it's best to be prepared for it - be super good at what you do and have some $$$ in the bank. The empowerment that follows is godlike. Seriously.
This guy rage quits. I'm looking at the rest of you, and this is the guy doing all the rage quitting. Am I right? Tell me I'm right.
Close to rage quit. When my CTO left the company and some former VP of Yahoo was the intermediary VP. He put me down and embarrassed me in front of my coworkers and he doesn’t know anything about our codebase. I couldn’t imagine working for such a dumbass. I gently quit but saved face for him by telling our team I’m moving to Texas (which was true). I ended up taking a remote role 👻
I did once. It was the dumbest thing to do. Never again
My director didn’t like me getting a new job, he threatened to kick me out. I calmly walked out the door without bothering to look at his horrified expression
Not rage quit, exactly. But did leave Walmart Labs (without a job in hand) because of the toxicity and politics there.
Glad I didn't apply to that.
Walmart - San Bruno, I heard, is fine. I was in Sunnyvale and there was too much abuse, and politics. But San Bruno should be fine.
Was that the last straw like this guy? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePK2Ct10Bo4&t=15
