Yes it was very cathartic! Didn’t plan it, but after sitting in a meeting with my boss I said you know what this isn’t gonna work, here’s my laptop… felt crazy, and impulsive, but best decision! No regrets!
Coach
I had another job lined up, hadn't told my boss yet, and then let it all out in the moment because she was being a jerk. It felt as great as you can imagine, lol.
Yes! Best decision of my life.
I did it once on a review that was unjust and unexpected.
I have not. Thought about it. But haven’t because I’ve seen people do it.
When you quit on the spot, in the heat of the moment and without notice — you says things you wouldn’t normally and you leave them in a lurch.
It might be what you want to do right then, blaze of glory and all that. Be a #Legend
But you’re just that. A legend. A precautionary tale to some, and gossip to others.
And you don’t know where those people who knew about it or just know the story (and your name) will pop up in the industry. They’ll take it with them.
You could go from legend to pariah. To unemployable. Every interview story becomes why you did what you did, and every interviewer worries you’ll do it again.
Do what others have suggested, and start looking for your soft landing. Have irons in the fire. Have a next gig lined up.
Then you can seize a moment, give a spectacular exit interview, and burn the right bridges quietly. And give the respect of at least a week to transition off your projects and accounts.
Your future employers will see that and think more highly of you.
Yeah I’m black listed from real chemistry
Twice. Once in my home country and once in NYC.
Yes! In my old job, when my LM decided to yell at me for sending a monitoring email 5 minutes after the internal deadline in the middle of the summer. I turned my notice in the next day when I decided it was not worth it.
For those that did it, did panic set in after you cooled off?
Coach
Yes. I had another job waiting for me, of course, but leaving on worse terms than you meant to is still scary.
Coach
I’ve seen someone do it before, the day before we shut down for COVID someone I knew in another department quit. They exited a conference room, quietly gathered their belongings and went to HR to hand over their laptop and requested an exit interview on the spot. No raised voices, no drama, dude was cool, calm, and collected and a total badass.
OP I know this *sounds* good right now but the economy is shit so please hold on for as long as you can. This isn’t the time to dip out on a job, no matter how terrible it is.
I did it once and it turned out to be a very bad idea. Several years later, it turned out that the company I left was acquired by the company I wanted to work for. No chance of getting a good recommendation there! Whoops.
Shit. Definitely. Also seen a CCo rip a ceos shirt off while quitting, a fistfight over creative differences type of quitting, an attempted assault stopped by security because it was anticipated firing, a few ambushes, group resignations, mass firings, etc. it all lives here in NYC advertising. Was there something new you wanted to try with your rage quitting? I like a cactus suit or a tandem bicycle if you’re looking for ideas.
I was working as a glorified executive producer at this cable TV show. The host and owner of the show was a sexist jerk, and after 8 months of dealing with him l literally told him to stick it where the sun don’t shine. It was marvelous.
