'I had someone quit because they couldn't find parking': 20+ Managers share the silliest reasons their employees have quit on the spot

Work can be stressful. There are a million reasons that we don't want to go to work, but most people put on their adulting shoes and go clock in anyways. Why? Because we like being able to pay our bills. However, when your work life starts to become a little too much to bear, some employees consider pulling the parachute and bailing on the workplace. There are a multitude of ways to quit and there's also a bit of 'quitters etiquette' that applies when a worker wants to keep a good rapport with their old managers. Usually, you leave a two week notice and perhaps you can even offer to train your replacement; naturally, this almost never goes as planned for quitters who are at their breaking point. Employees that are on the brink of survival every time they clock in are more likely to text their manager that they quit, (or worse) ghost their coworkers for the rest of eternity. At least when you quit on the spot, have the decency to think of some outrageous excuse or scapegoat story to blame. Like the quitters in this next collection of hilarious stories from the depth of Reddit.

So if you're thinking of quitting or ever quit a job before, you can probably relate to some of these managerial tales of the silliest resignation notices they ever encountered. After this, read on about an exemplary employee that got fired by his nepo-baby boss, plotting pungent revenge in the break room on his way out.
