50 Times People Quit In The Pettiest Way And Left A Lasting Impression On Their Bosses (New Pics)
There are many good reasons why a person would quit their job. Maybe it’s because of the toxic work environment or suboptimal work-life balance. Some jobs are not exciting enough and don’t offer a lot of growth and career opportunities so, after a little while, you feel like you’re stuck doing the same thing every day. Others simply don’t pay enough.
Whatever the reason, quitting your job is quite a big deal. In some cases, it can be quite an emotional endeavor, while, in others, it’s the most satisfying thing ever.
The list below is comprised of resignation letters and similar announcements filled with the latter sentiment. People quit jobs every day, but these examples are so creative they will definitely leave a lasting impression on the HR department.

Lovely Cleaning Lady Leaves Retirement Note For Awful Manager
Wasn't Julie the one who abused the author of this letter?
Load More Replies...That doesn't sound petty at all. More like taking a stand. Kudos to Julie!
I clean for a living and know how she feels but what I do is just cancel the client.
Seriously, it costs nothing to be kind, if you’ve ever had a bad day and someone does something kind for you, you know this is a thing xxx
In my experience, the cleaners are very often more valuable than most of the people they work for.
In a world where you can be anything be kind. I am feeling dumb and useless and depressed today, so I need to vent. DO YOU THINK I HAVENT TRIED BEING NICE ALR???????? PEOPLE SEE ME AS WEAK AND DUMB BC I HAVE OPINIONS AND WHEN I TRY TO HELP THEY NEVER TAKE MY OPINON THEY JUST IGNORE ME!!!!!! I CANT STAND ANYONE SAYUNG THAT BEING KIND CAN SOLVE YOUR PROVLEMS BC MY LIFE SUCKS
Quitting has been quite popular in recent years. In fact, both 2021 and 2022 broke records regarding the number of people that are willingly quitting their jobs. A staggering 47.8 million people did so in 2021, a number which was instantly bested with 50.5 million in 2022. This phenomenon has been dubbed “the great resignation.”
The cause for such a surge was the pandemic. The extreme circumstances were a wakeup call to many who realized how much they value fulfillment at work. They handed in their resignation letters because of low pay, the lack of opportunities, and feeling disrespected at work.
When The Developer Doesn't Get Paid

My guess is that the website was crummy hence the refusal to pay. And lastly, the company probably owns the domain name and will have his post removed in a heartbeat.
Mic Drop
Yep worked for an airline 22 years,never blew shifts,did extra flights so they wouldnt be cancelled,then in my 21st year there,my sister died of cancer abd a month later my father was diagnosed with colon cancer and was in hospital for three months with two major surgeries at rhe age of 93.I was so stressed out the second surgery I was stuck overnighting far from home and ot would have taken a day abd a half to get back if anything happend.I wanted to go on stress leave as I had booked off for two days at different times and they called me in office and dressed me down.Told me I coukdnt go on stress leave.I didnt tell them to go f themselves but waited 6 months got retirement packages that were being offered so I wouldnt sctew myself out of money after all that time and quit but they were such assh***les.So now though I will say it"f**k you Air C*****
You've done it. Bosses tell you you're replacable, but you're usually not. Quitting is powerful.
It’s also worth noting that the boost in confidence and employee self-worth is a contagious thing. Once a person sees their colleague taking charge of their career and quitting because they are unhappy at work, they are prompted to do the same, too. This is especially true when the people who are leaving (or getting fired, for that matter) are top performers or team members who have been loyal to the company for years.
The good thing is that leaving en masse actually worked to benefit the workers. The employers seemed to respond to the demands of the disgruntled employees who were seeking change. Suddenly, salaries started growing, showing the biggest jump in 20 years. Companies also started offering more benefits to new employees, hoping to get the work force back.
Boss Told Me That If I Want To Play In His Sandpit I Need To Toughen Up. Told Him I Don’t Want To Play In The Sandpit, I Want Time To Lay On The Lawn With My Cats

There was a Bob Evans restaurant near where I live. Not sure why, but the rumor I heard was the manager was working the employees ever day so one day, I believe on a Sunday they all quit and just walked out. End up the restaurant shutting down for good. Now there is another restaurant in there.
One big negative of the massive exodus that was seen in the US was the lack of productivity. This terrified employers who got worried that they wouldn’t be able to meet their goals. This caused companies to invest more in robotics and start replacing people with automations and AI.

"Last day at the job and the guy go crazy" <-- approximated translation
Many people think working in a bank would be fabulous. In reality they are all awful to work for. And the pay absolutely sucks unless you're an officer or above. Even then, their pay is far below the same position in other industries. Remember, banks take every dime they can get and they hang onto it. Banks and politicians are federally supported crooks. No different than loan sharks or the mob except they're legalized.
A Friend Of Mine Posted This, One Of His Favorite Coworkers Resigned, This Was His Resignation Letter
This is the absolute best so far IMHO. It took thought and effort and a level of pettiness that I cannot help but applaud
There's a template for a resignation letter, that the departing employee is supposed to use??
I think he just pulled one off the internet and used it as a way to show how little he thought of his former company. The coup de grace was leaving that final "company name" unannotated.

If you’re not ready to quit your job or don’t feel like upending your career in one fell swoop, you might want to jump on another trend—quiet quitting. The term that’s making managers everywhere shake with dread is nothing more than giving the company what they are asking for—no more, no less. Technically, people aren’t actually doing less than it’s expected of them, they are simply refusing to be proactive and go above and beyond what’s needed.

Career experts are applauding the quiet quitting trend, saying that expecting the employee to do more than what’s in their job description is unfair anyway. They are pleased to see employees feeling empowered enough to say no to unnecessary effort and overtime. It is only fair to work as much as you are paid for. It’s prime time to reject the hustle culture.
And That's How You Quit
Loyalty means nothing. The reward for hard work is more work. They’ll kick you to the curb in a second to save a buck.
Having the title 'temporary store manager' for 7 years tells a lot about the company.
There’s a Dollar General store every 2 miles… and the one nearest me will closed at random times and days with little more than handwritten notes left on the locked doors. Last time it was closed around noon and the note simply said “I quit today, and took some pickles and beer. -Samantha” Staffing issues for over the past year but they’re building another location within a 3 minute drive of this one.

You should've expected someone to call your bluff when you so clearly disrespected them
It is important to point out that it is not just the worker’s attitudes that are instigating the quiet quitting trend. Employers are obviously not incentivizing their staff enough for the team to feel fired up about their work. They just expect them to volunteer for extra work, be available and responsive outside of work hours, and take on tasks outside of their job description with nothing to offer for the effort.

Fair enough. I would hate to order food from a person who hates their job.
If your work environment is toxic but you cannot afford to quit right away, maybe you should start rage applying. This is another trend where employees, fed up with their passive aggressive managers, unappreciative bosses, and uncooperative co-workers are actively applying to other jobs while still working.

(There's no reply button for Richard Michael) "Why did they reduce your rank?Seems like you left something out." I had a restaurant job in my 20s that was rife with sexual harassment. My attempts to stand up and stop it were met with fewer and fewer scheduled hours, and then firing. I didn't have any rank for demotion. I'm guessing OP was being punished for standing up to the harassment she mentioned by being demoted.
One of my managers told me this when she quit from the company: [company name here] cured me because I was a complete idiot when I took the job.
My Manager Was Upset That My First Resignation Letter Wasn't "Professionally Courteous", So I Wrote Her A New One
I had a real a**hole of a boss. Finally had enough. 1st thing in the morning, I handed him my resignation letter. He read it and smirked, then said, "Yeah, right!" like it was a joke. I wiped that smirk off his face when I replied, "You can 'yeah, right' all you want, but I am so outta here. There is a copy of this letter on the General Manager's desk". Then he said, "What will it take to get you to stay?" I ignored him, turned my back and walked out.
The “rage” usually comes in when an employee is provoked by yet another thing that puts them down or increases pressure on them. Disappointed and angered, they start sending out resumes hoping they can change jobs before they start fully hating every minute in their current position.

Keeping It Simple
Tbf, this is what happens when every company demands a formal letter of resignation before they'll start processing your exit paperwork. If somebody doesn't give a s**t then what do you want?
I even gave the nursery I worked at for 6 years a formal resignation letter and two weeks' notice. That's the way I was brought up. I think I was the only employee there that EVER did that. Most just said "Adios" and left.
Load More Replies...A similar phenomenon to rage applying is career cushioning. People that do it aren’t usually actively looking for a new position, but they are working on their Plan B. This usually involves taking classes, brushing up on their skills, boosting their networking presence, and trying to learn new things that would enrich their resume. They often do all that because of uncertainty in their current job.
How I Quit My Last Job
It's true. Employers add all kinds of loopholes so they can abuse employees, they assume we are all too stupid to use them for ourselves. The most helpful is when they say "calls may be recorded", you better believe I will record my calls with a hostile corporation.
"Right to work" is just a right-wing ploy to hamstring unions. Companies that can terminate people at any time for no reason will do just that. A union contract would undermine that, so of course unions must be forbidden.
The power imbalance in right to work effectively voids any other legislation. Want to fire someone because they are black/gay/clever/fat/thin... just don't say why...

We Did It Joe
The main reason unions declined in popularity, and thus in influence over employers, is because of rampant corruption. When they were well-run they actually created a middle class in this country where one did not exist. Better management has allowed some unions to come back to prominence.
It is because the workplace became tolerable and raised standards with a union. Management often makes allegations of corrupt unions and workers do not make the connection as to why they want the union out. Management will often make short term promises to encourage anti-union sentiment. Management of unions does not make people want to join unions. Enforceable workplace standards in writing ( a contract) and bad management in the workplace working conditions make organizing possible. Management will spend millions to keep a union out, because they want working conditions to be written in pencil to be changed at a whim.

That final quote is probably the most epic quote I've ever read/heard. Sometimes, when life gets too hard, it's apt in most situations.
So, if you wish to change jobs right now, you need to start by putting together a plan. Start by “cushioning” your career. Then, dip into quiet quitting while rage applying on the side until you find something worth actually quitting for. Don’t forget to craft a memorable resignation letter and get pumped for the new position. And enjoy it, because in a few years you’ll have to repeat this all over again.

She was hilarious and a really great teacher. He did straighten up after that. I think he fell a little bit in love with her when she made some Monty Python quotes. We're American, btw.

When I walked in and told them I could start the next day they all got up and hugged me.

How My Coworker Quit The Other Day In The Middle Of His Shift. I Had The Honor Of Giving The Note To The Managers. It Was Glorious. Proud Of Him
Oh Jesus…. Kronos… Workday…. Soooo glad I’m not a part of that system anymore Sorry for the poor folks that are.
When I quit, I basically gave them three days' notice, because I was owed vacation time. I waived three days of vacation to finish out the week. The HR minion ranted at me about how unprofessional I was being, and I asked her if she wanted me to come back after lunch or not. Worked the rest of the week in the most blissful peace. Three weeks later, the old boss has the temerity to call me to come in to help. I told him he could buy blocks of time at $125 an hour. He hung up on me. bwahahahaha!
I faxed in a hand scrawled quitting note on casino hotel in Las Vegas. Not a good job. Virtually no training and I'm left completely alone a whole day and got screamed on of the phone from another branch for kind 20 minutes the day before my Vegas trip. Hubby and discussed how miserable job was and we bitty decided I'd quit. They must've thought I hit a jackpot or something!
I worked for The Phone Company for 33 years, most as a Union member. (Short foray into management. Very short.) One time we were on strike and I signed up with a temp agency. First and only shift I worked through them was a telephone sales center. Nonunion. Jeez they treat employees like s&*7. Now that I'm retired what I want to say to all you folks is UNIONIZE. The employees who actually do the work that makes the money that allow those business owners to succeed deserve better. And if the employer is too much of an a*540le to do right by their employees just because it's the right thing to do, then they have to be forced to do right.
I really don't think that a single one of these resignations could be described as "petty". I think they were glorious and uplifting.
