When you quit your job, you hope you never hear from those people ever again. You put your resignation in writing, date it, send it off, and work your final two weeks in awkward silence. Sometimes, quitting your job goes easily. It's so simple to quit a job in college after the semester is over. Are you a senior? Are you dropping out? Nobody cares! They will get a bunch of hungry freshmen next year who are hungry to work for $9 an hour. It's a lot more difficult to quit a job where you're a vital member of a team. You put in your two weeks and find your supervisor crying during your shifts. It's not cute. However, once you're gone, you don't tend to think about that past job too often. That is unless the human resources department forgets to remove you from their payroll and accuses you of "job abandonment" two years after you quit.
