15+ Employees whose coworkers quit in front of everyone: 'Saw 2 people quit mid-shift'

When your coworkers leave their jobs, it makes other workers consider parting ways, too. 

Have you ever witnessed a coworker as the quit bombastically? They're full of energy — they're probably quite riled up from something a boss or client said — and it's the most animated you've ever seen them be. Sometimes, that quiet guy in accounting makes a discovery that makes them flip their lid. Suddenly, in front of the entire company, this dude is making a scene! It's so startling, out of the norm, that it becomes a core memory to everyone who witnesses it. "Remember when Carl flipped out at our boss?" you and your coworkers recall fondly during company lunches. "Remember how he threw everything into a box and stormed away while Janice was standing there with her jaw on the floor?" 

It takes a good dramatic quitting to become the office legend! And don't take my word for it — there are tons of people below who have fond recollections of the quitting incidents that left them stunned. For example, one person shared about a time they worked at a popular lotion and soap store that rules many a mall and outlet center. Their managers kept getting in their ears, demanding that they upsell things to customers. I wish that every time managers made decisions like that, they had to test it out. They don't understand the primal fear you feel when you have to ask a grouchy customer who's already mad at you, "Would you like to open one of our credit cards today to save some money?" I'm telling you, if management had to feel that level of red-faced shame and embarrassment, they would never instate such rules. And they'd understand why workers like this person's 2 coworkers quit mid-shift because of it! Sometimes you just have to take off your headset, help the customer, and let that boss rant and rave. Can't hear the haters if you refuse to listen to them! 

Other people quit because they felt under-appreciated, which definitely happens at workplaces far too frequently. Bosses just nitpick and critique every little thing until their employees feel like a firecracker just waiting to colorfully explode. Some managers will know that an employee is on the brink of ripping off their name tag and quitting for good, but their big egos will prevent them from ever muttering a "good job" or "thank you." It's a skill issue, and it's pretty pathetic! But I haven't even told you the best stories here, so keep reading and have a laugh for yourself.
