Have you ever walked out off a job?

[pecanpie24]

Been at my current firm 7 months. I get treated like shit. I'm on the verge of walking out. Curious to know if anyone's actually done it?

Yes. First time I was 16 at my Saturday job. I'd worked there for a year and then one weekend the manager accused me of stealing £20. I had no need whatsoever to steal and have never stolen anything.
They deducted it from my wage which at the time was £3.60 an hour. The next weekend the same thing happened and they said they were about to deduct it from my salary again and I said I did not steal it I 100% have not and will never steal.
The manager replied we know it wasn't you but someone has to pay and it was taken using your key card through the till. The key card I was forced to lend to all and sundry if anyone else forgot theirs. So I literally grabbed my coat and walked out.
Manager left several voicemails begging me to come back. I then got a phone call from the owner of the business offering me a job anywhere in the business which I declined.

In more recent times, I took a job to boost my career with long hours and hard work. My boss kept micromanaging me, having special meetings to discuss my progress and asking me to challenge staff about certain things but not back me up when they got angry that the 'new' person was challenging the way things were done.

The culture was so toxic I sat down with my manager and said I'd had enough they asked if there was anything they could do I said thanks but no. So they told me I wasn't allowed to go to the Christmas do now (!) and they'd have to sort my notice period out. I just didn't go back in again after that day. Booked a holiday to take my mind of it all 😂

Well, glad I'm not alone!!!!

I haven’t but some jobs I wish I had, the Saturday job in which the boss called me stupid and made the bins my special job. The second Saturday job in a newsagent which was great until new owners took over. They gave me a chair which I was grateful for then a few weeks later took me into the office and told me, very seriously that they had a customer complaint about me sitting on said chair and that it was my fault, for sitting on it. They then told me a customer had injured themselves because I left something out and I was going to get taken to court, made me sick with worry all week then told me that it was all a joke to teach me a lesson. I got another job and gave notice after that.
In my job I seen an increase in not walking out, but not coming back in.

After I retired, I took on maternity leave cover at a local school. At the end of the first week, the deputy head called me into his office and, very apologetically, explained that the school budget would not run to paying me the salary we had agreed at the interview but asked me to stay on a 'voluntary basis'. I did not go back the next day!

I once worked in a job with 2 other people , 1 full time and the other part time.. I was also part time. We all covered each other’s time off. I was ‘last in’. When it was coming up to summer school holidays I was called in by management and told that - in order to simplify holiday arrangements I was to work full time through the whole school holidays. I put my keys on the table and walked out.
