Decided to quit without notice

I worked for a company for 2 years as a stock associate.

I never got a raise even though I did my job properly, and I decided to not work hard anymore since my manager doesn’t like me anyway.

This employee knew they weren’t on the best standing with their boss.

I was aware that my manager was going to give me a PIP, so I decided to go with it until I got another job.

Then on my day off, I decided to go job hunting for days and finally landed a job with better pay.

Finally, they realized they just couldn’t take it any longer.

Before that happened, I decided to abandon my toxic workplace for good.

No calls, no resignation letter, and no notice until one day away from my orientation.

Then the day finally came.

Although they couldn’t leave without sharing some choice words.

I finally called my manager and told him, “Since I’m useless, I won’t bother submitting my resignation. Goodbye, and don’t expect me to come to work anymore.”

They refused to give this horrible a single extra minute of their time.

What did Reddit think?

If employers are able to fire you without notice, employees should be able to have the same agency.

This user urges this employee to proceed, but with caution.

If a job isn’t working out, then it’s the employee’s responsibility to seek out something better.

The lesson here seems to be that sometimes you just have to walk away.
