Woman Quits Job Because the 'Vibes Are Off,' Inspires Debate On the Etiquette of Quitting

I have only quit a job once in my life, and technically I was still training. I was thrown into the fire at a West Village seafood restaurant, which has since closed, and left to burn. At the time, the only bartending experience I had was pouring wine into the glasses of elderly customers. They decided to train be by having me be the sole bartender on a Friday night service. Needless to say, it didn't go well. I walked out.

Despite my experience, it's pretty rare to hear about someone up and quitting within a week of being hired. And apparently, the concept is one that can inspire a whole lot of debate. Where? On Twitter, of course.

The tweet in question came from a @jollier_raptor, who seems to have deleted it swiftly. We're willing to bet they deleted it (and went private) because @FuckYouIQuit shared a screenshot, which promptly went viral.

The expeditious manner of quitting seems to have divided opinion. While some users in the replies think the woman in question deserves a standing ovation, others felt it was either a lazy move or that she had to be wealthy to have put her foot down so quickly.
Here are a few of the differing reactions, from “Never quit” to “Hell yeah.”

One last thought: While we may never know the story behind the vibes, judging by her former boss' Twitter presence, she may have made the right choice.
What do you think? Is it ever okay to quit on your first day?
