Workers of reddit, when have you said "Fuck this, I quit"?

Not quitting yet but I’ve had a few close calls.

Wasn’t properly trained bc there was one functional worker in our role before and they don’t have a training program - everyone else either quit or was fired bc they couldn’t keep up. You literally get your first project a week in and there’s little to no leeway - we were receiving complaints when my coworker and I started literally within days of starting.

Currently of two people in my role with about 10-15 internal clients to report to. Capacity on projects is 12, I’m on 30. I work FAR more than I’m supposed to - come home around 8 on an average night, 12-1 on a rough one.

Get yelled at at least twice a week, and my entire future roles depend on the opinions of said internal clients who yell at us, so there’s not much accountability - we don’t even have an HR rep within any close vicinity. A person in my role filed a complaint once and was promptly fired after. They cited his complaints from the internal clients as the reason, but we all get a shit ton of complaints from the internal clients bc they have crazy high expectations and egos. So essentially, you piss off the wrong person & you’re out.

Started w the company bc they claim to promote quickly after about two years and they’re the top players in the industry, but found out the reason that is the # is because less than 1 percent of people in my role make it to the next level because people hate it so fucking much.

They did start paying overtime, but they shame you into not taking it. And vacation/sick days are also decent, but if you’re out and an internal client finds out, they rip you to shreds.

Thing is, if you do well in this role you can essentially make it to the top here - but it’s really fucking hard to move up bc of the pressure and capacity.

You’re basically the scum of the earth until you get promoted, so you either scratch your way to a promotion or you get fucked.
