'That was not what I agreed to': 20+ job quitters share what made them instantly walk

It's not always easy to quit a job, even when all the signs are telling you to leave. The journey often starts with a little voice in the back of your head saying something to the effect of "This ain't it." Eventually, that voice gets louder and louder and you find yourself going through a short period where you attempt to convince yourself that you love it here. You try to tell yourself that other friends of yours have it so much worse or that being mistreated is better than looking for new work.

However, one day, it all starts to click. Something happens and it becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back and you find yourself way past the point of no return. I remember when this happened to me. I had been planning on leaving a job two months later, and then when my boss tried to dump extra work onto my lap out of nowhere, I knew I needed to quit immediately.

Check out the following stories from these iconic job quitters. For more content like this, here is a story about an employee who was fired for being too good at their job.
