'[I] was given no respect at this job. So I gave no respect in return': Employee quits without notice in petty email to boss, leaving company scrambling

Quitting via email is not exactly the professional thing to do. That being said, it's certainly the kind of behavior many employees wish they could get away with when announcing their sudden departure at a company. Sure, it's common practice to give two weeks' notice and to help tie loose ends and get materials organized and ready for whoever is unlucky enough to be your replacement.

Still, if we were to indulge in the fantasy of quitting on the spot, it's a lot more enjoyable to imagine how completely lost everyone would suddenly be without you. Keep scrolling below for this employee's iconic resignation email!

This employee gave little to no explanation besides citing how underpaid and disrespected they have been since they started working at the company. Their mentality was to give their boss the same energy and attention when quitting that their boss gave them while they were working at the company, and it's kind of iconic. Who else wishes they had the audacity to send an email like this?
