have you ever just walked out? like you had enough of whatever shit you have to put up with regularly, said "peace," then bounced? or do you always go the professional way and put in a two weeks notice?

2 weeks notice is not only the professional way, it's the courteous and polite thing to do. 2 weeks notice is like leaving on good terms, no burned bridges..

Walking out is cool too just make sure you got reason and balls to do so. just make sure you won't need that place as a reference

i had a coworker get so fed up with a customer that he shouted "i don't need to take this shit," threw the guy's drink in the trash, and walked out.

sorta want to do that some days, but i need the money and i don't want to burn any bridges.

anyways, i don't really hold anything against him anymore, but nobody could come in so we had to close with two people that night, which sort of made me want to stab him in the face when i got home at 4am.

hey do you by any chance work in montrose?

I've done both. When I was working at Tony Romas those hostesses, girls like 18 and 20 thought they ran the store or something, told me I had to clean my own tables, I looked at her, handed her the cleaner and rag and said, no you do it, and walked out.

I'd never walk out. The first job I put in my two weeks for just stop scheduling me which was convenient because I didn't want to work there anymore. When I gave my two weeks at pappadeaux I still had another 60 hours or so to work.

I dropped out of my Ph.D. program (and, in doing so, quit the student job that paid my tuition) with, like, a day's notice.

Funny you should ask, I actually quit my job yesterday. xD I did not put in a two weeks because well... I felt like they didn't deserve it. I guess I'm a jerk, but it felt nice.

i quit working at a coldstone without any notice because they had roaches and weren't doing anything about it.

i don't think i could leave my current jobs without notice right now. i'd have to go the professional route.

No way. You never know when it may come back to get you. Everyone somehow knows someone.

I thought about it a few weeks ago. Then I realized patients might die if I did, so I aired out my complaints with my boss. And then they changed my department and promoted me. Feels good man.
