Today, I quit my job as a barista for one of our competitors with a couple of bucks more an hour. Two hours after I'd handed in my resignation, my boss approached me just to let me know that if I hadn't resigned, I would've been offered my own café. FML

Today, I resigned from my job in favor of a higher-paying one. After I filled out and filed the necessary papers, my boss told me that I had been nominated to replace him when he retired in a month. His job pays at least twice what I'm now making. Thanks for telling me, asshat. 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 quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, it's my last day of work at my job of two and a half years. I organised to have coffee with my coworkers at a cafe. Only I turned up. I had my farewell coffee alone. FML
Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML
Today, I quit my job after being the only one to do my job, the boss's job, and the other guy’s job. Their way of saying thank you for being the best employee they'd had was to fuck me on my paycheque and give me $70 for a week's work. FML
Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Today, I finally quit my job after talking with a friend about making our own design/multimedia company. While I was on my way to his house, he called me and told me not to quit because he got an awesome job offer and couldn't refuse. FML

He was probably lying about the cafe just because you quit you know...

Sounds like bluff to me... if you were really getting your own cafe, they would have used that as a bargaining point in keeping you on.

You know, you could turn that around and say. "If you had offered me some advancement I wouldn't be leaving in the first place." There is a reason you decided to make a change, and it sounds like your boss isn't the best when it comes to people skills. Move on.

Call bullshit. He's probably lying just to make you feel bad about leaving.

YDI for not even talking about a raise. If you don't point something out then who's going to do anything about it?

If that was the situation, he would have offered the cafe to you anyway in order to keep you in the fold. He's playing mind games with you to watch you squirm. Don't fall for it.

Agreed. Any boss worth anything understands quality people are hard to come by. They wouldn't let you leave without making the offer if it were genuine.
