15+ Smart employees who quit on the spot: 'Best decision I ever made'

What could cause an employee to quit on the spot? These people had some really good reasons, and a lot of them timed their exits perfectly

Having a job that you dislike can weigh a person down more than they realize. Of course there's more to life than work… but most of us work at least 40 hours every week, if not more, meaning that we spend more time with our coworkers than our own families.

Many workers stay at their jobs because the pay is good, or the bonus structure rewards their hard work, or they love their coworkers. But over time, having a bad boss or a toxic work environment makes these employees start questioning how much longer they can handle being at that same job.

Curious if they meant that they do regret being in the film industry, or they don't! You'd think 20 years would be long enough to know if you don't like being in that industry, so hopefully this person is enjoying their current career.
