It takes a lot of courage to switch jobs. It takes even more to quit your job without a solid backup plan. However, work conditions can sometimes be so horrendous, the workplace environment can be so toxic, you end up giving your notice (or deliberately not even doing this) and packing all of your stuff in a cardboard box ASAP. There’s only so much that people can take!
Twitter user Kierra started up a very interesting thread on the social media platform when she asked people if they’ve ever “randomly” quit their jobs before, having absolutely no backup plan. The thread immediately went viral, getting over 125.8k likes, as Twitter users rushed to spill the tea about their personal experiences in the job industry.
