'They didn't like that': Ten workers quit on the same day after having their requests ignored

Everyone has been a part of that workplace where management absolutely refuses to listen. If you send them an email asking for something as simple as a new kettle for the break room, suddenly they don't know how to read; if you try and have a meeting with them to go over requests, suddenly there's no room in the schedule; corner them in the break room that still has a broken kettle, and suddenly they've never used their ears in their entire life.

Try as you might; your chances of getting through aren't great. 

This worker shared one of the wildest workplace stories we've ever seen on Reddit's popular r/antiwork community, telling of how they and their coworkers walked out of their job after repeated requests that escalated when management refused to take them seriously. After setting an ultimatum with HR, the workers walked out after giving effective notice, stunning the HR department, which hadn't taken the ultimatum seriously. The worker then describes the ensuing fallout and resolution of their incredible account of events. 

Read on to see screenshots of this lengthy tale, which was shared with the popular Reddit workplace community by user u/UnoriginallyGeneric. 

Next, see this worker who was made to jump through hoops to take their PTO, which led to them quitting on the spot instead.
