No, but I once accepted a transfer when I was in customer sales support and a manager observing my call dinged me because I didn’t offer a product package to a sobbing woman who was canceling the service of her mother (who had just passed away).

I focused on helping her take care of what she’d asked. I did ask if there was anything else, anything about her own service with which she needed help. When she said no, I thanked her for calling, expressed my condolences and let her go.

The manager, hearing all of this, insisted I should’ve pushed. On break, I called back someone who had been headhunting me as an instructor in another department and accepted a position. I was gone from sales support within the week.

Yes. I was in my late teens. I got a job at Lechmere Sales, in customer service.

Whoever had my job before me had a huge stack of slips for repairs that he or she had not handled, and I was doing my regular job handling customers and trying to work my way through the old repair slips at the same time. One day, an extremely irate customer called to complain that his repair was taking MONTHS and he just wasn't going to stand for it any more. His was one of the very old repair slips I was trying to complete.

The department MANAGER decided to get involved...(a giant a-hole)...and he decided to handle it by coming downstairs and ROARING at me at the top of his lungs, blaming me for not handling the repair in a timely fashion, while I was still on the phone with the customer.

I said to the customer in a very sweet, calm voice, "Mr. Such and So is VERY upset that your repair has not been completed. In fact, he is SO upset...that he is going to handle it HIMSELF!" 🤣🤣🤣 (I could hear the customer stifling his laughter on the other end of the line). (My department supervisor was smirking and thought it was very funny!) And then the giant a-hole ROARED at me to GO HOME! 🤣🤣🤣

I was more than happy to do so. The department supervisor called me several times over the next week, begging me to return, but I refused. EFF that! 😁

That's exactly how I ended 30 yrs at my final job although "on the spot" happened at home. I called in to tell my foreman I wouldn't be at work that day or any day afterward. I didn't do this willy-nilly because those 30 yrs were exactly 30 yrs meaning all the bonuses and other benefits kicked in that instant.
That all happened a little over 18 yrs ago and it's been the best "vacation" ever.

Yes i have. I was so overworked, but because they were short staffed they said go home and sleep maybe 4 hours after i was up 32 hours straight. and come back. I went home slept, woke up, went back, and turned in my keys with a resignation letter.

I did exactly that. I was put in a bad position with a customer after being there just 3 weeks. I thought to myself how effed up management was and went home sent an email telling everything wrong they did and I quit. They called me the next day and arranged a meeting. I was given a $6000 raise to stay and I took it. They had a lot of answering to do with the customer.

Dang, sorry it got that bad today. I walked out of a job once. I was already close to calling it quits when one of my many managers told me I wasn’t allowed to do something. I clocked out and left, just like that.

Yes I did quit on the spot but only in words, I was in trouble for gross misconduct. I was going to get fired anyway but I went in again for a meeting with my managers to try and prove my innocence.

I'm pretty forgiving even on work.

Closest time was when I was in highschool and I told them I was going to move over the summer.

They had plenty of time to hire someone else.

Once, when I was like 19 yeas old. It was just a part-time summer type of job and I absolutely didn't like the guy I was working for. He treated people like trash. I had been looking for other options and the day I found out I had gotten another job I clocked out for lunch and told the accounting/HR lady that I wouldn't be returning, haha.

No never. I worked for some companies as a teen I prob should have quit on the spot but I was too polite and didn’t know how to assert myself.

Yes. But only because I didn’t have any bills to pay since my parents supported me

Yes, I did that once. It was dark and raining hard when I walked out to my car and drove home. I did not go back, although I was implored to many times.

Yes I have

Many times

I have.

Only as a teen working a summer job

Not exactly but to cut a long story short I reported a company for health & safety violations and I was "let go". It was some sort of training thing I was on and didn't want to be so best option was to get myself fired :)

A few times

I have.

I always have. I've never given 2 weeks notice. Never had a good job, either.

Nahh, I've never quit a job without giving two weeks notice.

Sure did once

More than once.

What spot?

No. I always gave at least two weeks notice.

They kind of discourage that in the military. Lol

I’ve thought about it loads of times. Once I lost my shit and sent an embarrassing and highly emotive email to my bosses.

why? what went on? 😳

Real close but no.

Plenty of times. I'm not a FKNG slave, if I'm not being treated well I'm TF out.

No, but I've been hired for a job on the spot! Does that count?

Only once, from some family operation of basically two brothers. One was a complete pos so I just told him to f off

Yes and I don't regret it.

yea

Yes
