Name one thing better than being able to epically quit your soul-sucking job and shove it in your toxic boss' face with an epic one liner exit? Seriously, how freaking satisfying. Recently, a welder went to Reddit to share their epic "mic drop" moment when quitting. It all started when they went to their supervisor to enquire about a small raise they had previously discussed as a potential prior. Apparently, this manager decide to respond with toxicity and Karen-level tantrum. 

While the employee was on lunch break and surrounded by his peers, the manager came to him, berated him, disrespected him, and all in front of his coworkers. The employee was absolutely gobsmacked. The toxic boss said that he could have him replaced within the hour. So the welder broke his silence stood up and epically said "start the timer" and walked out. BOW DOWN!

He then went straight to his car to drive home and within 10 minutes the now-ex-supervisor was calling and texting him to come back and "let's talk this out." The employee made this toxic manager put his money where his mouth is and he failed. 

This satisfying quitting story has now sparked other Redditors in the comments to share their own stories of epic quits and resignations. See them below!
