Redditors who quit their jobs in a blaze of glory, what's your story?

Probably won't been seen too late to the party but oh well!

 

Job at small store - I was working at a small store and all I really did was stack shelves for about 6 hours a day and I was going to be put on the cash register once I was finished my trial. I worked there for about 4 days a week and I had been on trial for a couple of weeks. Just as my trial was ending another person got employed and she was on trial also.

Then suddenly the owner says I need to be on trial for a bit longer and gave me a sheet that I had to fill out (I'd never had to do this until the new girl came) and I had to fill out which shelves I would stock up and the barcode numbers we would put on the items, I wasn't too happy about it because I was supposed to be finishing my trial and then this happened. But it got even worse, the manager asked me to restock the candy shelf. I was given a shopping cart filled to the top with candys and the shelf was such a mess and I asked the manager for a bit of assistance how I would fit it all and he just said to figure it out so I grabbed my shit, went and bought the new Burnout game and went home. I was on break from school so they were probably going to replace me anyway.

 

Job at Airport - Got hired at the Airport, before being hired I did a bunch of courses so I could be employed there, I was planning on doing something else but ultimately my main goal was to get into the Airport. Anyway through my courses and training some HR lady from the Airport interviewed me and she gave me the job. On my first day I showed up went through security and put my bag in the lockers, then we started induction and we were at a security check point and the man that was talking to us about what had to be done told us we could go on break for 10 minutes and pointed for us to go in a certain direction. I then decided I wanted to quit and I said to him I wanted to go to my locker and get my bag to go and have a smoke outside and he said I won't have enough time (I was planning on just getting my shit and leaving.) So I said to him "I really want to have a smoke" and he said there just isn't enough time so I told him I'm quitting and then he walked me to the lockers and walked me to the front doors. On the way there he made a comment as we were walking up to the xray machine he says "You don't have any knives on you or anything do you?" and I laughed and said no. The he asked me to wait, and he went and spoke to the people at the scanners, me and him were the only ones there and as we walked through they frisked me and searched me so I think he asked them to do that and that was it.

 

Job at car company - I had this shit job that my friend got me into because I needed work at the time it was shit but good money and was really chill. I worked with my friend all day and it was an okay environment. Me and my buddy fucked around alot and would go on break early sometimes and come back usually 10 minutes late just because we wanted to. This other guy we worked with was such a loser and we used to see him checking his watch when we would leave and when we would come back and write it down. We know we were in the wrong but this guy was just strange, you'd have to work with him to understand. He used to make really stupid jokes and would attend these weird conventions (I forget what they were) and he used to show us his instagram account where he would upload photos of plants. They weren't even good quality he used some crap samsung phone to take the photos. Anyways! He told our boss that we kept coming back from break late and we weren't getting work done properly we got split up lmfao. Like school kids.. We were now working opposite ends of the building pretty much and I was annoyed about it, only because he never said anything. Never asked us to stop talking or work more, nothing like that. So while we were working I went and spoke to my buddy and the weirdo we worked with saw me and came and told me to go away so I told him to fuck off and he said he would tell the manager so I told him to do whatever he wants and I am busy talking. He just bitched it or something and walked away then after that day I just stopped going in, I never said I quit, didn't call and didn't answer their calls I just ignored them. A few days later my friend quit too.
