Workers Who Quit Jobs Immediately Are Sharing The Deal-Breakers That Drove Them Away

“I was working as an assistant manager for a well-known retail chain (well-known in the southern states). My husband was murdered, and I was injured in a home invasion robbery. We had been married for 25 years. We were supposed to be together for years to come. Eight days after the murder, we held a service for him. Just as the service was about to begin, my phone rang. The district manager wanted to know when I would be back to work. I explained we were at the service and that I would call him back later. He became very angry and told me he saw no reason I could not return to work after the service. He was very rude and abrasive. So I simply said that I would be there.”

“Later, I returned to work to throw his store keys at him and quit. What a jerk he was. By the way, the keys hit him, and he threatened assault charges. When the cops arrived and heard the story, they were disgusted. The DM left, and two employees told the police (they fibbed) that I ‘tossed the keys on the desk, and they slid into him.’ No charges were filed, and I never stepped foot in any of their stores again.”
