In the professional world, leaving a job usually comes with a few formalities. You put in your notice, wrap up your work, and maybe say a few goodbyes on the way out. Not every job, however, deserves that kind of graceful exit. Sometimes, something happens that makes sticking around for another two weeks feel completely out of the question.
One Redditor asked people to share the quickest they’ve ever quit a job, and they delivered plenty of memorable stories. From someone lasting around 15 minutes to workers who simply got up and left after being disrespected, some of these jobs ended almost as soon as they began. Scroll down to read the best responses.

During college I got a job at H&M at the local mall for some extra bucks. My first shift, they gave me a rack full of clothes and were like "go put these back on the rack in the store" -- mind you, the store was a giant two floor behemoth. Every clothing item was different. No one had given me any tour/orientation/etc. I had no idea where anything was. After spending several hours trying to find everything, I went to lunch and never came back.

About 2 weeks. Call center for customers who purchased new vehicles to do CSI surveys. Auto dialer with a script that had to be followed to a tee. Mind numbing boring.

The contract that was serve to me was full of loopholes and error. They mentioned that they will change it and I need to secure it first so that they will count me in already for an international training. I wait until the flight and ghost em since no changes made. Still counts as AWOL I guess.
