‘Maybe treat me with respect and not [like] the company public trash can’: Higher ed employee quits after poor treatment, sends iconic email

Like all satisfying quitting stories, this one centers on a mistreated employee who woke up one day and realized they owed their employer absolutely nothing. Now, it should come as no surprise that working on the administrative side of higher education can be a draining existence depending on what you do. This employee claimed that they were treated with less respect than the average undervalued and under-appreciated administrative assistant. 

She posted the following thread on Reddit, which included her email quitting on the spot. Of course, her boss gave her a hard time about not giving any notice, but as we know all too well at this point, this woman had no place enforcing rules like that. It's not like the employer would give the employee any notice if OP were getting fired. At-will employment is a two-way street, people! Keep scrolling below for the full story.
