I applied to Rolls Royce and in the meantime a job came up at another manufacturers on an assembly line making car wing mirrors.

For experience I applied and got the job next day! Mainly agency staff, min wage. Loads of people but quite unfriendly. After a few weeks a lady and myself were on a line going hell for leather. We achieved only 51% efficiency! The trainer shouted at us. Along with the general crude humour I hated the place so I clocked off and never went back.

Somewhere near here

I’ve walked out of two. One when I was 16 in a cafe on the seafront, the manager kept touching my bum and was inappropriate. I decided no more.

Another was in a kitchen on an army base, I was pregnant and someone I worked with had suspected German measles. They wouldn’t send him home despite me and someone on the camp being pregnant. I saw the camp medic he said to go, leave. I walked out, never went back again. They were awful to me in my last few months

Yes, was 17 took the huff with the financial director told her to ram the job up her backside and walked out, to be fair I was quite a nippy teenager

Ended up being a really good move as sent me on a completely different career path. Would I do the same now? absolutely not jobs are much harder to come by nowadays.

Yes. I got a job in a small insurance office where my boss was an arse, his dad owned the business but wasn’t involved. His son was a couple of years older than me and constantly failed to deliver on promises about salary and bonuses and despite my working my ass off he just kept on manipulating the workplace environment to his own ends.

So I waited until we were busy with a queue of customers one Saturday morning when I made my grand exit. I can still picture the look on his face even now many years later.

Yes I have in the past.

Sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling and as one door closes another one opens but it does depend on your financial situation I guess.

Better to up your game regards finding a new job and then hand your notice in as I find that it's easier to get work when you're in work.

Yes, at least three over the years possibly four, I’m a big believer in being happy in your work and if I wasn’t happy and they didn’t sort it, I wouldn’t go back.

Hiding in the shadows

Yes, more times than I can count.

Admittedly all in my teens & 20s.

Far too hot-headed back then for my own good.

But if something annoyed me, felt unfair.

Coat on & out the door.

I'd have a new job by the end of the day though.

Yep! It only lasted a month but I'd stated that I had a holiday booked before I started and they said I couldn't go when it got to the week before. I was a student at the time so it wasn't the end of the world as I had another job to start by the time I got back from hols.

Yup. Never work for friends. I did, and the day before I was to go on holiday he was to give me 2 weeks holiday pay as agreed. When the day came he told me he didn't have it which meant I had to use my credit card and tighten my spending while away. I quit there and then when he told me he didn't have the money. Took us a while but we are friends again

Two years ago hubby walked out of an agency job. The hgv they wanted him to drive was unroadworthy ...”no one else ever complains-stop being a snowflake”

That was a mistake. Transport manager got both barrels, then pics and emails sent off to head office.

Left my first job after leaving college as I felt it was the kind of job where one could get into a rut very easily and not realise the years pass. Still doing the second job I had and still loving it.

Walked out of a job about 1995 when a store manager said he could get a monkey to do my job, even though at the time my department was about 6th in the country turnover wise in the group of a couple of dozen stores. I'm still employed while the company I walked from went under in the late 90's

Yes I have, I hadn't been there long and it turned out the finance manager hadn't done any work for almost a year, not sure how he got away with that. I went for lunch, straight to a tempting agency and never went back. On my 2nd job with them who did I see walking in? Yes, you guessed it the finance manager! Luckily our paths never crossed and I soon got a permanent job.

Only once when I was a temp about 15 years ago. Not done it since.

I almost always quit my job without a new one planned though and always manage to find a new one in the grace period which is good haha

No. If I’ve decided I want a change then I apply for other jobs and resign when I’ve found one, then work my notice period.

"No. If I’ve decided I want a change then I apply for other jobs and resign when I’ve found one, then work my notice period. "

Me too, I can’t afford to be out of a job. I was working for a company that went into administration and the terror of not knowing where my next pay cheque was coming from made me physically sick with worry. I was only out of work for less than two weeks though thanks to temping agencies but I’d still rather ride out a shitty job until I can escape.
