15+ Workers who quit on the spot: 'It was worth it to watch [the manager] stand up to the VP like that'

Quitting on the spot is something a lot of employees dream of doing, but few ever have the courage required to go through with it. 

For many workers, putting up with irritating managers and irresponsible coworkers is just part of their day-to-day routine. Before they even enter the building, they know how things are going to go: their manager will hide out in the back room all day instead of helping with customers, the customers will be annoying, and the coworkers will be rolling their eyes when they're asked to help out in any way. Sometimes you get so used to the daily grind that you forget to ask yourself the bigger questions, like are you actually happy there? Do you see a path of career growth at that company? Do you think it's making you a better person to work there, or is all the stress putting extra lines on your face? Are you actually able to enjoy your time off, or are you just worrying about work-related issues 24/7? 

Once you do start to consider a future at another company, you begin to think about how great it would actually be to quit. Some workers don't think twice — when they get the urge to leave, they are happy to tell their manager goodbye forever. They know that there's always another job out there, and that life is too short to gain another wrinkle or gray hair just because a job is stressing you out.
