... uuuggghhhh. Such a weird feeling! I got a cake this morning from my coworkers(I'm diabetic), then called a meeting with my manager and quit to pursue a different opportunity.

Now, this is a career that I have been in for over 8 years and its fairly coveted position. Quitting was like breaking up with a girlfriend.. it was quiet and there were unnecessary nod's.

Anybody have any good quitting stories? I know mine was lack-luster, but more of leaving a family. Think about it, you spend more time at your job than you do with your loved ones typically.

and inb4: 14y/o's comments and "Good story bro", etc etc etc....

a couple of summers ago i worked at a really nice restaurant for about 3 weeks, and the day i quit it was during lunch service and i was being yelled at to move faster with the food prep, so i threw down my towel grabbed my bag and told my boss i was out, then went to the river and got high and watched a hot girl tan for about 30 minutes....nbd

Every job I have given 2 weeks or better and tried to leave with as little drama as possible.

Also, happy birthday, and may I ask what the old job was and what your new opportunity is?

haha! Thanks for the birthday wishes! Lots of folks with the same birthday...

For those who asked, I'm currently a staffing analyst for a large Telecommunications company. I am taking a leap into the Mortgage world (policy/processing/etc) . I have prior experience, and I was offered a great path to join recently. 

I did give two weeks, as I don't believe in burning bridges. But it would've been great to go out with a bang! Haha!

I had this summer job that I hated, and it wouldn't do anything for me, so I went into my bosses office and said, "I have something serious I need to discuss with you," So I sit down and she asks what it is, I say, "There is something wrong with my eyes, I just can't see myself working for you anymore," got up and left, she was surprised.
