What is the worst lapse of professional judgement you've made?

And did it impact you getting hired someplace else?

I was 22 years old and this company I work was milking me like a cow.. I was a seller selling chemicals to hospitals, visitin 4-5 hospitals a day and was using my own car.. low salary all that shit as well.. so one day I asked something from them I dont know what it was, it's refused, and I wrote a resign letter and gave it to my manager and walked out. Of course you cant resign like that instantly.. they came after me, charging me for leaving early and giving no notice.. and they threatened me with laws and courts.. I paid them all to them. I was stupid.

@Londonn Well, I was much older, but I did similar: The battery of my mobility device was very low. I did not know how long it would last. Took coworker's advice, and went down by the entrance early. Had person punch me out. Also partly driving my choice was the fact that I was feeling unappreciated and disrespected by two of my superiors

@Londonn where is this? You can walk away from a job at anytime.
