I’ve done it!
My partner is an attorney and loves their firm and is treated very well. Definitely a fluke, sorry you had to go through that!
I had to quit the day of without notice to my old job because of the no competition clauses with a new company I got hired at, it was VERY satisfying
Pretty standard in the trading world, the idea is you have sensitive competitive market data that will become stale after the garden leave.
Yup
We are "at will." While it is common courtesy to give 2 week, there are always times when it is perhaps better not too (whether it is health related physical/mental, you need to move suddenly etc). Toxic environments are never good to stay in.
I remember this one employee who quit suddenly one day. He basically sent an firm-wide email where he disparaged several partners and senior managers and then stormed off. And some of his comments were like "senior manager x called me into her office and lectured me about not working hard enough." The language was worse than what I quoted.
I know Senior Manager X and she is the most caring person who goes to bat for people (even complete idiots and a different employee who lied about his time saying she felt he wouldn't do it again and was truly sorry) and even the fact that she called that employee into her office meant she kept her professionalism and expressed her concerns to him directly and privately. The email was egregiously inappropriate.
He was such a nice person (until that point) and maybe couldn't handle PA and I don't my firm treats anyone poorly, so I am not sure why he did it, and maybe there was a personal reason so I shouldn't judge.
Egregiously inappropriate and a terrible idea — for himself. It may well follow him. Many people I know are hesitant to even be negative ORALLY about the reasons they are leaving somewhere, afraid of burning bridges. To put out something like that IN WRITING TO EVERYONE(!)… that’s next-level.
Yup, happens often.
I did it at my last job. I wrote my resignation letter, sent it to HR and upper management and said my good byes to my team. My team knew it was coming due to extreme toxic behavior on the part of our "superiors". Those that were aware fully supported my exit.
I did something similar. They were awful leaders and overall toxic. Grabbed all my shit 1 friday called on Monday said I have covid and got my "last 2 weeks" paid out. I had another role lined up and was able to start during that period. When they asked if I was coming back, I said only if it was remote and flexible, they hung up on me😂
Maybe not the most ethical but they didn't deserve me dececy.
Seen it plenty of times at Valvoline and I have done it twice.
As a teen at Best Buy, manager spent 5+ mins yelling at me when i wasn't even on the clock yet. Told him my shift hadn't started and he refused to apologize or admit he did anything wrong. So i never clocked in again.
The other time was a couple years back as a vendor. Company was losing guys left and right to a Covid hotbed area of stores. Bc I asked what they were doing about our steadily increasing workload, i was voluntold i would be the next to go to the area. I handed him my keys and said," Ya'll can keep anything in the car." Left the conference room, cleaned out my desk, and walked out as they all stood there staring.
Love it
I once worked for a guy so shady, overnight delivery services refused to let him run a tab. I had to go to his bank with him on Friday to get paid for the week. I went for an interview one Friday morning to start the next Monday,. He took me to bank, I got paid and ignored his calls that Saturday when he was “going to train (me) to take on more responsibilities” and had never mentioned additional pay.
Pro
I saw this at a small company.
1) sales person was asked by operations manager if he was drunk. He was upset at the question, quit and walked out.
I saw him. He was drunk. I regretted not getting his car keys. He drove away.
2) She started her first day in sales operations. She was learning how to process orders when her trainer called her stupid. She quit and walked out.
She said something like… “I don’t deserve to be called names. I don’t want to work here.”
I did it at a high school summer job at a swim club. Needed a day off to finish a paper for my AP US history class, and my boss tried to say no. Then he started digging into me for the audacity to ask for a day off. I told him, forget it, I quit. And that was that.
The last I heard about that swim club was that it got embroiled in an international controversy about being racist somehow. I think it shut down shortly after.
I’ve done it! I watched my manager do it and a majority of staff follow multiple times too! It’s 2023, we’re not putting up with disrespect and toxic workplaces anymore, we’re putting ourselves first! <3
Saw this plenty of times
