19 Shocking Reasons People Walked Out of Their Jobs And Never Looked Back
My last employer, of 32 years, had shrunk from 3,000 employees to ~200. I’d earned above average reviews for many years, then my boss gave me a below average one. That was the writing on the wall for me. Things were getting worse and worse, bad attitudes all around. I just got fed up, gave my two weeks notice. I’d told them for years that they’d miss me when I was gone. Well, I left, they started calling, asking me to come back. Sorry! I’m retired.
Boss reduced employee salaries 30%, all but his wife and kid, who also worked for the company. That was after taking his extended family on a 12 day vacation.
Had a Zoom meeting in which I was told that my department’s work was eventually going to be outsourced to India. They said “it could be six months from now, it could be a year, it could be two years,” and offered me a buy-out if I didn’t want to wait, so I jumped.
The other esthetician constantly left the room, products, brushes, etc absolutely disgusting. All brushes and products should be sanitized and wiped down after every single client. She would also come in blasted off of whatever pills she decided to take that day. Police followed her once. Boss wouldn’t fire her bc she didn’t want to get audited again by the IRS since she committed tax fraud during Covid. Not losing my license over a trashcan of a spa and incompetence
The site supervisor asked me to fraudulently sign training documents for an upcoming audit from corporate because nobody knew how to do their job.
I was burning myself out and losing my mind when they brought in a new system and what would have taken me 5mins to do on the old system now took me an hour. Department was understaffed and when I asked to get more help they refused. Needless to say, I left and they hired seven people to replace me.
Was being scheduled literally 13 hours a week. Most days I’d come in at 930 and leave at 11. Brought up to my service manager multiple times “ hey you only gave me one shift this week. Can’t afford daycare with only one shift” he’d say he forgot and sometimes give me a pity shift. Went to the GM she did nothing. I was tired of doing them the favor of coming in to open (cause they didn’t want to) and then not being given any serving shifts in return
My janitorial job was easy enough before and even going into the pandemic, but once they had to fire another dude for refusing to get vaccinated, they gave me a good portion of his job on top of what I already was doing, and didn’t seem to feel like replacing him. I was struggling to keep up.
On top of this, I requested off to visit friends for Christmas and they waited until the last minute to give me a yes or no, making my plane ticket cost a lot more than it needed to. That was kind of my last straw among a bunch of other things.
