Today, I rage-quit my job because my manager put me in a situation between putting my kids or my career first. I obviously chose my kids, but I’m now an unemployed single mom of two in the middle of a pandemic, with no one hiring. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to quit my job. Why? Because I don't have a babysitter anymore. All I did was tell them I didn't want them mocking my baby when he cries. FML
Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant, after quitting my job because they asked us to work for free due to COVID. So because I quit, I'm no longer eligible for maternity leave. I didn’t know that I was 4 months pregnant. I could've just gotten a doctor's note for medical reasons. FML
Today, after quitting my job to take a very attractive position with a competitor, I was told the position was no longer being offered. I'm now on my way to file for unemployment. FML
Today, I lost my job because my mom and stepdad forced me to go on our family vacation, even though my time off got rejected. FML
Today, my husband typed in my work Teams Chat, “FUCK THIS JOB I QUIT” while I was away from my desk. All this because he’s still jealous of my and a male coworker’s friendship. I was terminated. He showed no remorse for what he did and told me to find another job where I won’t “slut around.” 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, I came in to work to hand in my resignation. The minute I walked in, my manager took me aside and said he wanted to talk to me in private. He then cancelled my position and fired me. FML
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, after three weeks of suffering from COVID, I returned to work. I met with my boss, and was written up for absenteeism. Oh, and we're closing early because there are ongoing riots. Oh, and we lost the contract and I'm unemployed in three weeks. FML

Quitting your job with no back up plan is not putting your kids first. I was around 10 when I realized that my mom working long hours was what kept a roof over our heads and food on the table. Providing for your children is putting them first, throwing a literal tantrum and storming out on your ability to support them is not.

Need more info. Did your boss ask you to disown them, or to just not have any more no-call-no-shows with them as an excuse.

I hope you did it like Antonio Brown! That's the rage-quit of the year! Every restaurant and fast-food place is hiring. Take what you can get.

so being abused at work and treated like shit is ok at work....... awesome thats cool u should realize the fact that all companies look after is the money they dont care about thier employees because they are easily replaced with in hours of quitting or being terminated from the company...... im enraged how u think its ok to abuse people especially with what people go through every day

Didn't see anything about abuse. Putting her in a position to choose between her and her kids was what I read... She chould have lined up another job before quitting. And there are plenty of jobs if you look. I know for a fact that there are jobs. Nurses assistants are in short supply at hospitals everywhere. Quick easy training. Restaurants are also hiring. Fast food places too. So many places short staffed. Don't say no one is hiring. Lots of places you can get into with no training necessary. Suck it up and start looking. Everyone is quitting so you have plenty of opportunities.

Try apple - they’re hiring remotely for 24/hr to start

It sucks to lose a job and all, but today EVERYONE's hiring. In fact, there are 5 job openings for each candidate, on average in the US. That's the reason blue-collar workers wages almost doubled in some sectors. Just an example, Amazon now pays $22.50 per hour to work at their warehouse, and UPS struggling to hire drivers while offering them $32.50 per hour. Both ads are recent and physically posted on a banner next to my house (in PA). Good luck!

First rule of working. Never quit one job unless you have another one lined up.

Everywhere is hiring it seems because no one wants to work

I understand you were upset, but quitting your job without a backup plan is not putting your kids first. Im a single parent and the best thing to do would have been to find another job first then quit. No matter what, never out your kids at risk. If you live in the states, there are jobs everywhere

"No one hiring?" Literally everyone is hiring. People just won't work because they're making more money sitting on their butts collecting government money instead - and more than they'd make by actually working.
