'Quit my job suddenly via email': Employee leaves without notice, boss insists on having face to face conversation, internet reacts

Let this be a friendly reminder that "at-will" employment goes both ways! In this instance, we have a boss who is clearly a liability, and there was only a matter of time before his employees would start looking for other jobs. Finally, the Redditor found a seemingly perfect alternative at a startup company whose launch was the following Monday. 

 

Sure, it would have been ideal in a normal employment arrangement to give advanced notice or to quit in person. However, this boss has been largely MIA and his erratic behavior is completely unpredictable. Given the manner in which the boss has conducted himself in the workplace, this employee has absolutely no responsibility to do any favors when quitting. The only obligation in these final arrangements is the boss cutting the employee a final check. That's all!
