'[I] walked out mid shift': 15+ Employees who quit their jobs and never looked back

These workers got so burned out from their jobs that they quit and never looked back.

Efficient workers don't always get rewarded with raises or bonuses, but they do get saddled with additional work, since the bosses have confidence they'll get it done. Sometimes, this dynamic works out in infuriating ways. Maybe you turn in 100% of your work on time, while your coworkers watches YouTube videos and takes long lunches, only completing 60% of her work. Your boss might hand you an important file and tell you to have it completed by the end of the week, and then skip out to lunch with your lazy coworker! Now, they'll be dining and having a great time, while having the satisfaction of knowing that every task will be completed. Naturally, this builds resentment. And it's not always a dynamic that can be fixed. Sometimes you just have to leave and start anew.

These people shared the things that made them quit, and a lot of them waited quite a while before finally gathering the courage to leave. It's inspiring to read about people who have worked somewhere for over a decade finally deciding that they can't stand another minute with their bad bosses and tiresome coworkers. It's on to the next job, with a higher salary and a better sense of self-worth, knowing they had the courage to find somewhere better.
