What’s the pettiest way you’ve ever quit or heard someone quit? I heard a story: this guy got hired from contract to full-time and he worked 6 more months. So they only gave him half a bonus come bonus time. Once he quit, he gave them one weeks’ notice and they said “what happened to two weeks?” He said “well you only gave me half a bonus so I’m giving you half notice.” 🤣🤣🤣 I know they say “don’t burn bridges” but honestly when I quit I aspire to do something this epic.

I brought the brightest large red handbag I could find placed in my cleaned desk the morning of my departure. I had my exit interview and “forgot my bag” in my desk. I made my boss walk through the office to go grab it for me. For the toxic and male-centric workplace. I know it embarrassed the crap out of him.

Once when I was 22 I simply ~left~ one day and did not return. Blocked their emails after sending them one letting them know where they could send my check. Worst job I've ever had and I don't regret it! Bridge was already covered in lighter fluid I just set it aflame lol.
