15+ Employees who quit their jobs on the spot: '[Boss] said, "If you leave I can replace you..." So I did'

These workers declined to give their 2-weeks notice, and instead, they quit on the spot to teach their bosses a real-world lesson they won't soon forget.

Some business owners treat their employees as if those workers aren't holding their very business together. The owner gets to strut in each day and boss around workers, sweet-talk the customers, and berate any manager in sight. They're acting like they're holding up the entire tent by themselves, all the while forgetting that without enough help, that tent would collapse around them. Just think about how flustered a boss or owner would be if they had to run their own company alone for a day — even an hour!

The workers who shared their stories of the times they quit their jobs on the spot have a slight idea of what that might look like! It's the kind of thing that many workers dream of — telling off your boss and walking out the door while your coworkers look on in awe, making yourself an instant legend at your company (and perhaps a martyr, if you don't have a new job lined up). Still, if you want to gain some "I quit" inspiration, check out the tales below from workers in tons of different industries who were all thrilled to kiss their old jobs goodbye forever.
