15+ Workers who quit their jobs on the spot: '[Bosses] expected me to do an unpaid training shift to deliver pizzas'

These employees had no problem saying goodbye to their worst job ever. Sometimes, you can plan out a 2-week notice… but other times, the conditions are so disruptive that you have no choice but to leave immediately.

These workers all had unique stories about why they left their worst jobs ever, but there were definitely some areas of overlap. For example, several people talked about how their mean coworkers were really getting to them. One person had an especially strange case of this: they started working at a chiropractic office, and were told they'd have to stand all day long, every day. Now, that's not entirely unusual — a lot of retail jobs require the same thing. But in their case, they watched as all their coworkers did get to sit down all day in cushy chairs. This person even had a medical issue that should've prevented the directive to stand for 8 hours a day… but it seems like neither their boss nor their coworkers thought it was important enough to allow them to sit down.

Other people realized they were getting swindled just as they started their jobs. If your boss asked you to deliver pizzas without getting paid as a training period, would you do it? Probably not, and one person here felt the same way. It'd be too easy for the boss to take advantage of a person they're not even paying. Just in case you needed the reminder, don't work for free! And don't be afraid to to quit a job you really dislike. A better job is out there!
