Today, I got all my co-workers motivated. We were all going to quit and walk out the door. I went first. I gave an emotional speech to my boss and threw my uniform to the ground. Then I turned around to to see the rest follow, they all began laughing. They didn't. They WANTED me to quit. FML

Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML

Today, I saw my boss, so I mentioned to him, "Oh, I quit." He then interrupted, saying, "Great, I was going to fire you this week anyway." I wanted to tell him I quit smoking. FML

Today, I tried to quit my job. My boss pulled me into his office and gave me a write-up for quitting, told me that he knows where I live and that I'd better be at work tomorrow or he's going to come and drag me into work. FML

Today, I told my boss I'm going to quit, after months of being abused, doing meaningless work, and working late every day. I was soon given so many new projects that I didn't even have time to write my resignation letter. FML

Today, my boss hired a new meat cutter because our old one stopped showing up for work. After he put the smock on, I told him what needed to be done. Without saying a word, he walks over to my boss, hands him his smock and says, "I quit." Guess I'm on my own. FML

Burn out

Today, I quit my job by insulting my manager - who is/was a friend, whose wedding I officiated - in full earshot of everyone. It turned into a pretty public argument on the street. I don’t really know why I did it, other than just feeling so burned out by his treatment of everyone. FML

Today, despite over 100 colleagues agreeing to attend a protest over our working conditions, no one turned up because they were too afraid of losing their jobs. Since I was alone, I was sacked on the spot and physically thrown out. FML

Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML

Rule of thumb: Never be the first to 'walk out'. If you don't like your job, man up and tell your boss you're quitting instead of looking like an asshole and inconveniencing him.

Yep, maybe they were all nodding about hating their job and agreed because YOU ARE THE REASON they don't like coming to work.... You quit, they are happy.

Probably deserved it for being such a drama queen in the first place.

One has to wonder why your co-workers wanted you to leave.

If you're the type to "organize" a "walkout" from a job you all hold voluntarily, then they had a point. Did you piss them off because you're lazy, or because you complain incessantly?

You absolutely deserved it. ESPECIALLY since you thought you were a leader. Let me ask you something: if you really WERE a good leader, wouldn't you be doing a GOOD JOB THERE? I would bet you would. Anyone who is not liking their job isn't worthy of working there. I don't care who a person is. If they want me to 'follow' them to 'stick it to' someone, I'll do whatever I can to make them look as stupid as possibe.

It's embarrassing, but if you didn't like the job in the first place, why bother? Besides, now you know your colleagues aren't good friends at all.

If you don't like your job, tough. At least you HAVE a job. Those people that are saying that you should have quit anyway, maybe a few years ago, sure. Now, that's a bad idea unless you're really skilled labor, and the uniform suggests otherwise. But seriously, what'd you do to piss of every other coworker you have? YDI for being such a pain that they'd actually go through with this.
