⚠️ #CareerAdvice #JobQuitting #ResignationEtiquette
Ever been tempted to quit a job without notice? This post got me thinking – has anyone taken the leap and left a job without giving any notice? 🤔
Here are some things to consider if you’re contemplating quitting without notice:
– Reflect on your decision and make sure it’s the best move for your well-being 💭
– Have a backup plan in place, whether it’s financial or a job search strategy 📋
– Consider the implications on your professional reputation and future job prospects 🌟
If you’re in a similar situation and considering quitting without notice due to challenging work conditions, seeking out legal advice or HR guidance could be beneficial! Have you ever been in this predicament? Share your thoughts below! 💬
The only way it comes back to bite you is if you go back to the place you left…and if you left there because it was toxic, why the hell would you go back?
Remember, companies will drop you like a bad habit when you give two weeks notice, the two weeks is only to be able to rehire, and if they punt you the same day you give it, why go back?
Nope, leave that toxic hellhole ASAP and don’t even bother looking back!
You can put bad jobs on your resume. Just have a story around why you left that doesn’t make you look bad also. “My boss was an idiot” is a red flag even if true. “Lack of growth opportunities” makes you sounds hard working and ambitious, even if you have no desire to advance. I’ve had grownup jobs for 40 years, and never had an HR person call an old job and get anything other than “he worked from X to Y and is/isn’t eligible for rehire”. Many don’t even do that now that they buy that information from credit bureaus.^1
^1 There’s a huge loophole with those reports. They used to say “not to be used to make employment decisions “. Now the disclaimer says “not to be the *sole* source of information for employment decisions”.
Why quit without notice? Just give 2 weeks and ride it out.
Walk out the door ASAP and never look back. It is in no way unprofessional to quit without notice if you’re suffering mentally and physically. I wish I had that opportunity at my last job.

>This job isn’t one that I would need to transition my work over to someone else or train them on my work.
You never need to do that; that’s management’s responsibility. If they want transitions and training, they need to treat current employees better.
Fuck no. I never ask for references from any job. I just list people down if a new place asks. I have no idea if they contact them or not.
I once called a reference to get a feel for a candidate I was looking to hire. Mostly other companies in my country, Canada, only tell you a few things: confirmation the person worked there, their position, and their dates of work (hire date + last day worked). It was rare if they’d tell you if the person had used up their paid time off, what their salary was, if they were punctual, etc. I had one HR rep tell me the candidate had left without notice, and that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to hire them. I hired the candiate to spite that. I knew that company sucked so people left there all the time (outbound collections, which was terrible). I hried the person, and knew the role wasn’t fit for them. So I helped them to get some I.T. Certs and they left after 1 year.
I’ve been thinking of doing the same with a volunteer job. I only volunteered to give my resume a boost, but it’s giving me heart palpitations because it’s so poorly managed. I’d say drop the job asap as it’s not worth the health issues.
My advice, being a hiring manager in corporate for 15 years…Leave this job off of your resume.
No need to make it a thing if it is a bad reference..
You have not been out of work for too long with that “gap” imo…tell them you had a family issue that required your attention…aging parents…whatever, you want, if you feel like elaborating. You do not have to, esp. if you cited elder care , for example. YMMV. Just my $.02, good luck OP.
No it hasn’t. Any time I’ve done it the future employer has blamed previous employers for that.
It will hurt you if you want to go back to this company (sounds like you never would), but in some industries people talk. I wouldnt worry about screwing the company they screw employees all the time, but one thing to consider is if you can put in a 2 week notice you can totally check out those 2 weeks and do hardly anything. If your manager gets all your nerves you can remind them a 2 week is a courtsey and just walk out in the middle.
No. It won’t. People who say they will are paranoid or work in very small towns or niche fields. Luckily for you, everyone is too busy thinking about themselves to look into you enough unless you’re in high level finance or something
I walked out yesterday and it was not the first time 🤣🤣 I have absolutely no concern about that stupid little job impacting me
No need to hide the job. When asked say “They went through a hard restructuring shortly after I joined and it did not line up with my desired career path.”
