Would you quit a job that is toxic or give notice?

Top | Newest First | Oldest First

Quit. I never gave any notices. Just boom left

BitterSweetPotato · 31-35, F

@InHeaven Do you still get your last salary and end of service if you don't comply with your contract?

InHeaven · F

@BitterSweetPotato the hours that I worked were all paid

Notanymore · 36-40, M

Keep working because they pay better than anything else I can find, and honestly more than I'm worth. It's okay to put up with a little toxic.

BitterSweetPotato · 31-35, F

I would just look for something else and then quit and by quit i mean stay the required end of period notice.

plungesponge · 41-45, M

My timing is decided by when my next job wants me to start

Thevy29 · 41-45, M

Yes.

AlchemyFox · 36-40, F

I'll give two weeks, but I have walked off a job or three because they were horrible.

stound

I suppose it would depend on factors. In general id try to give notice

eventtemple123 · 22-25, M

Quit, after I have a new job in this hellhole job market.

MrBlueGuy

No..and I'd sabotage things as I left.

InHeaven · F

@MrBlueGuy you petty

Convivial · 26-30, F

Use their paid time to find a different job

Fluffybull · F

Yes. On two occasions I just walked out.

TheFragile · 46-50, M

I've always given notice.

MURD3RM0NK3Y · 26-30, M

no notices. just up and left.

TheOrionbeltseeker · 36-40, M

Quit

GypsyMiss · 41-45, F

If a place was really toxic I would probably quit, but if I thought long and hard, I would probably apply for leave, resign on my last day and never come back.

Give notice and smile to everyone on the way out so I can use this job as a reference.

Flenflyys · 31-35, F

It depends on whether I need connections from that job moving forward

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

I’d find something else. To difficult for me to work in that environment

Neoerectus · M

Did that twice.

Toxic how?

V00doo

Yes

Starkizzed21 · 31-35, F

@V00doo which?

V00doo

@Starkizzed21 both

LordShadowfire · M

I would stuff my feelings as long as I could, and then blow up and walk off the job.

Please note that I'm not suggesting anyone do that. I'm just being realistic with regard to what I would do.

Be an interesting story, though.

TheLordOfHell · 41-45

Yes and no

@MethDozer I remember one time, I was at a Denny's with some friends, and we were waiting quite a while for our order. Come to find out, the cook head gotten POed and walked out.

You talk about leaving the manager with a dumpster fire. Our meal ended up being free.

MethDozer · M

@LordShadowfire As a manager after arguing with my district manager from corporate and being so infuriated and insulted that when he left and knew he was at the next store over an hour away. Called everyone outside for a meeting and locked the place before tossing the keys on the roof and just left.
He tried to dock my pay for lost wages on the other workers but the labor board upheld the law that they can't do that.
