Have you ever quit your job on the spot?

I came pretty close to doing that today. I was pissed 😡

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.

Had you stayed for another 18 years, they wouldn't have hesitated to terminate your employment on the spot if layoffs were pending. I don't need to tell you that you made the right call ...when it was right for YOU!
