35 Times Employers Made Staff Members Rage Quit On The Spot

Worked at a restaurant doing like 10 hour shifts. They had me prep, dish wash, and cook. I couldn't take a proper lunch because if I did s**t would pile up worse than it already was. Nobody helped me with s**t. They made me work Thanksgiving and Christmas. Managers would be standing around talking when they could have helped me. My "raise" was 25 cents. One day I woke up and just said f**k that and just stopped going in. .

I was a 15 year old dish washer and showed up to an overflowing sink full of dishes cause the afternoon guy called out. The grown men at the job were underachieving losers who either relentlessly teased me or sexually harassed me. After an hour of my shift of being picked on by men in their 30's, I had enough. I walked over to the punch clock, picked up my timecard and held it high in the air. I locked eyes with the biggest bully and saw his face change from laughter to surprise and he said "no no, don't clock out" I said, "have fun doing those dishes" clocked out and never went back.

My boss had a habit of jumping to conclusions with no evidence. He did this one time too many, blamed me for his mistake, and called me to his office and screamed at me until he was red in the face. I went home and never came back.

The school district had barely given me enough resources to teach a lesson, school administration was refusing acknowledge an out of the ordinary, extreme behavioral case in my class, and I was so overworked I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

My plan was to keep being the best teacher I could be for my students for the rest of the year, but "quiet quit," when it came to all the useless meetings and paperwork. When they announced they were moving the last 7 hired teachers to the worst schools in the district, without warning, part-way through the year, and only giving me 2 days to move my classroom, I just told them "nah, I quit," and that was that.

I worked in a well known hotel chain in the UK and was the nightshift manager and only one on staff there.


A new area manager started and instantly disliked me.
- daily I had to clean the hotel (not part of my job spec)
- had to do additional tasks which were her jobs

I was also removed from a range of trainings the rest of the team received, and then told off when I didn't attend this training I knew nothing about, or told off for not understanding something new, which was part of this training I wasn't part of.

I was basically being pushed out of my job with small things.



I then found a document in her office outlining long term removing of me and replacing me (printed emails).


I waited for an evening I knew she was at a work event (out drinking away from town),
I wrote a note on the check in desk more or less the wording of

"the night shift manager has quit, I'm sure the area manager will be pleased of this. Here is her nunber if you wish to check in".

Left her mobile number, left the pile of emails on the front desk, and walked out.


I caught up with someone who worked there a few weeks later, this is what ended up happening -

- guests staryed checking themselves into their rooms with the keys next to the desk.
- guests were ringing the area manager non stop, her phone was off.
- the main guest service phone was closed due to being after 6pm, so no one could get hold of the hotel chain.
- once the area managers phone was turned off she apparently had a stupid amount of texts and answer messages from guests.
- the bigger managers were with her so got involved instantly (all be it, while drunk).
- big investigation took place where the top managers came in and basically turned the hotel over checking everything.
- I got an apology by email from that manager for everything, offered my job back (all of which I ignored).
- she got fired for the evidence they found.
- also turned out she was selling d***s from the hotel on her shifts which they found evidence of.


I was 18 at the time.

I just couldn't be arsed anymore.
Feel bad for the guests looking back. Glad she lost her job though.

F**k you Lorna.

So I was working as a Christmas temp at Currys PC world in the UK.

23rd December 2015 (maybe 16 idk), meeting before store opens and the guy in charge of Apple products specifically tells us if anyone wants a gaming machine send them to him. Which me and another guy looked at each other with a bemused look as soon as he said it. So that put me in a bad mood.

Few hours later this lady was buying a laptop for her daughter who she specifically told me was going to university in the coming year to study computer science.

she ended up buying a laptop for about £500 iirc. And we had to upsell the Microsoft recovery usb thing, basically the help tech team (I can't remember their name) would do the recovery usb setup for them and charge £40 for the privilege.

The woman asked if she could do it herself and I said your daughter absolutely can. If she's studying computer science, she can do that.

The manager started saying no she couldn't and only we could do it. Just a blatant lie, and I had a face that said so. The woman ended up just buying a 32gb usb and believing her daughter could do it.

I was the accosted by another manager who said "if you don't like the heat, get out the kitchen". Literally. Literally f*****g said that.

So with that and the thought of being there at 5am in boxing day, I'd said nah f**k that and left.

I had a boss at a Dog Daycare who was a pure sociopath, she deliberately tried to set her employees against each other with gossip and listened to our conversations on the remote cameras and used what we said against each other.

It gets worse, but she heard me talking to another employee about finding another job, then confronted me and told me she would just take all my hours away if I was going to quit.

Then she heard me tell another employee I contacted the department of labor to find out if that was legal (it is) and ambushed me after lunch to fire me in front of other employees.

"So I heard you called the labor department about your hours, that won't be necess-"

And at this point I realize this is the only chance I'm gonna get to just unload on this b***h and I'm taking it.

I.

**Went.**

***OFF.***

"OKAY FIRST OF ALL YOU INSANE BRAZILIAN B***H, WHO THE F**K DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

I unleashed the beast for ten straight minutes right in her f*****g face. I told her about when we lied to her face about throwing away shock collars she used on the customers dogs without their knowledge or consent, how she's a miserable and ugly human being, the employees hate her, we all dread her coming in because she f***s everything up, how she was f*****g stupid, her husband is a pedophile and probably a rapist, raked her over the coals about the time she forgot a customer's dog in the car for three hours in May and then lied to the customer about it.

I remember one point I yelled "DIDN'T YOU EVER F*****G WONDER WHY EVERYONE WHO QUITS THIS F*****G SH*THOLE HAS NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT WORKING HERE? ITS YOU! YOU'RE A MISERABLE B***H!"

And eventually I gave her the finger, said "F**K THIS AND F**K YOU, I'M OUT!"

I talked to one of the employees who witnessed the entire thing later and he said

"Well, you made a lot of good points.".

When I was a young I worked in a factory that made parts of circuit boards. The parts were made by dipping the metal into vats of acid. One day a guy had acid splashed into his eyes. He ran to a wash out sink and washed it out, the foreman asked if could see and when the guy said yes he told him to get back to work. I walked out the door at that point.

My boss had me hire someone to cover a maternity leave, without telling me or the new hire it was a temporary position. She did really good work, and when the other lady was due to return, he explained and told me to lay her off. We argued about the ethics of it, which culminated in me yelling "well she can have my f*****g job then!" and tossing my keys on his desk and walking out. Years later, both those ladies had moved on and I was asked to come back, which I did with a very clear understanding of ethical boundaries, and no such issues have come up in the 8 or so years I've been there since then. As much as that situation sucked, it is really cool to see how much my boss has grown as a person, and thinking maybe I played some part in sparking that growth.

A new restaurant owner forced the kitchen to remain open after the fume hood died during a hot summer night. We made it through half the dinner rush before the chef had to be evac'd to the hospital.

My manager said she totally understood when I quit. I don't think she was in a spot to quit as well, but it was written on her face that she wanted to. It was obvious the new owner bought the location without any intention to invest a single additional cent into it. He squeezed every last penny out of tje place before shutting it down 6 months after the hood fiasco. A real shame.. that place was super busy before he took over. I like to imagine he overpaid for it and it ruined him when he treated his employees like rodents.

I went to visit my mom who got very sick and required two hospitalizations and a surgery and I took an unexpected unpaid leave to help her out with her dogs/house while she was healing & in hospital.

During that unpaid leave I was being harassed multiple times a day by a toxic colleague & my boss. The job paid terribly, I was treated poorly throughout my time working there (despite going well above and beyond what my role was) & the multiple texts and emails everyday while I was caring for my sick mother in another country sent me over the edge.

I got back home over a weekend and went into the office and packed everything up. My first day back, I waited in HRs office for an hour for my boss to arrive (who was over an hour late), before giving HR my fob and official notice effective immediately.

My boss again put me on the late shift despite it being my early week. Without asking me if I could. She had been following me around all week. I had enough, I quit on the spot. My other boss cried, begging me to stay but I had enough.

By the next day I had a way better job lined up. The rest is history. Now I have a job I love with coworkers I love!

I fell and c*****d my head open, the following day they accused me of doing it on purpose.

I wouldn’t call it rage, but I was a part time employee who, for over 6 months, was working full time hours and was the only employee who did closing in the kitchen.

New management came in and refused to hire new people and kept expecting more and more from me. I was having panic attacks every shift and was overly stressed out. I was doing a job alone that should’ve been two people minimum.

A day before my one year anniversary (which happened to be Christmas eve lol) I had another panic attack cause the orders wouldn’t stop coming, the person who worked before me never did their job, and as I went to go restock the food bar I saw they didn’t prepare anything for me and I lost it. Told my manager everything I was thinking and that I just couldn’t do it anymore. She asked me to stay cause she had “big plans” to fix everything. Told her no and walked out.

From what I heard she left about a year later and the whole store is being ran by junkies. Thank god I left.

Everyone in the department had been let go except for me and one other. They expected us to hold the fort down, since we were the two best. They got rid of thirty people. This was a random Thursday morning. It was horrible. They fired all of these hardworking people I grew to be friends with. I quit when they were trying to explain how things would go now. Guess they didn’t go very much. This was at the city newspaper. Shame. I expect they’ll be done within five years.
