I did nothing for 5 months (it’s amazing how you can be invisible in consulting if you want to) and left as soon as I found a better job

I insulted the HR Manager’s outfit, gathered my things, and walked out.

“Oh, and pleather pants and a faux fur vest? Not a good look.”

I was working on 4 engagements and was stressed out. I was working through whole of thanksgiving. Monday after thanksgiving, I came in scheduled a 10 am call with partner and just said I quit. They tried to convince me for almost an hour with three partners joining the call. I pretty much was done with it.

I’m glad you quit. That’s a ridiculous schedule. Would love to know if they actually listened to you -or just tried to keep you to save them time with opening a req. I left a role internally after I got pulled on a project that should have had another person. Worked an acetate of 90 hours a week for months. When I accepted my other role - my manager did the same thing and called me three times to convince me to stay. Sorry for the diatribe. I just know what this is like.

Shit you not I had a buddy who worked at a financial services firm for 2 years. One day he comes in high, sits down at his desk, logs on, and says “yea I can’t do this”. He stood up, put his badge on the table, and walked out with both middle fingers in the air never to return. He now works for a national brewery and is loving life, says it was one of the best decisions he ever made.

got my 1.03% EOY base increase comp statement. walked into my bosses office, threw the paper into the air, and told him to tell [the decision maker] that “i didn’t need this money and to keep his fucking 1%” and dipped for the day

Was fed up with empty promises and lack of raises at work. After finding another job and setting up a start date, took 1.5 months off to travel abroad using the newly instituted unlimited PTO and also long enough for my 401K match to vest.
Put in my 2-week notice on my first day back and coasted the remainder of the time.

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.
