Best "Resignations"
I have been there for 3 and a half weeks and realised that it wasn't for me. The people are unsociable and the work is constant and monotonous. I was being managed by someone who is barely senior to me in years (27, I am 25) and she was clearly not capable to manage anyone. I have had no direction in my role and I seized my opportunity.
She went for an hour and a half long meeting, I couldn't be bothered to have the conversation with her because I am a) a coward who avoids confrontation and b) really couldn't be bothered to wait for her to come back from the meeting, I had made my mind up mid way through her and her boss reeling off a list of inane bullshit they wanted me to do. I would like to point out this is completely uncharacteristic of me, I have never walked out of anything in my life, and I am still having shaky feelings inside several hours later.
I sent her an email, to her and the representative in HR, explaining that I was leaving because of the fact I have been given no direction etc (to be fair it really was awful but don't want to bore with the details in this post). I sent it on delay so that it would send 20 minutes after i left the building. I packed up my stuff and very quietly walked out of the door.
So, over to you, what is the worst job you have ever had, but more importantly, what is the best way that you have "resigned" from that job. If your job lives are anything like your love lives, I am in for a treat!

Some clothes shop in Bromley in the mid 90's. My new manager was a 18 year old Chavette and I was 22 at the time and after a part time job over summer back from Uni.
She said I had to work Boxing Day for 2 hours and New Year's Day for an hour on minimum wage with no overtime.
I told her I wouldn't do it and started putting on my jacket to quit, she told the other members of staff that I didn't haven't the guts to quit. I walked out with with my two fingers in the air and said "I think I do!" Never went back26 -

Probably not what you are going to want to hear but you need to come up with a good story for your next employer as to why you only lasted 3 weeks. I wouldn't mention the bit where you had a problem because your immediate boss was only 2 years older than you and incapable of managing you. Hopefully your job wasn't in a regulated bank otherwise the reference might be an issue - you can't not mention you worked at the place because it will be on the P45 your new employer will want off you.Huskaris said:Today I walked out of my job.

So as an addition to the story, I actually did cc myself to make sure it arrived. It did not.... I then had to send it off my personal email on my heavily delayed train from London Bridge (thanks Southeastern!)suzisausage said:

Quite simply I won't tell them. That's why I left so quickly. I won't give my new employer my P45. I will just have a one month gap in my CV which I can explain as being a month that I took off for summer between jobs. I was BCCd into my reference from my previous company and I don't think that will be an issue thankfully...letthegoodtimesroll said:

Haha clearly it does not!!! I learnt a lesson there!! I wanted to send the email and then walk out because neither of the people were at their desks who were in the email but I was worried one might be in another part of the building and able to receive emails, and then come running so had to use delay. Luckily I did CC myself otherwise I would have never known.suzisausage said:

That's a good lesson though. Email delay does not work.0 -
I have walked out of a few jobs but in this day and age I'd never leave an email saying why. Real hostage to fortune that.
But gòod luck and I hope the next job is the one that ticks your boxes.0 -

Thank you! Like I said I have never walked out of anything before, but for the first time I am in a position where I have enough money to be able to afford a couple of months off if it comes to it.

I just want a friendly place where I can work as an accountant. I really struggle with the stereotypical idea of accountants, it is completely true, I just want to work in a place where people care about how you are doing and want a chat occasionally. I was told it was sociable before I joined, when I joined and then for the 3 weeks, but I think about 3 people talked to me. Because of the structure I only ever had cause to talk to one person in my job. It was very, very lonely...1 -
Absolutely one of the best feel good moments you can have, walking out on a job you hate and from a boss you despise.
I did it about 15 years ago. I started off politely informing HR this isn't the place for me and please make my cards up and send them on. Then quickly getting out of hand with the managing director and then on to my manager who seemed shocked and surprised that," I wouldn't even sit down with him and discuss the problem". To which I replied, "you spoke earlier, leave it at that ".
Very edited and tame version.

Twice walked out of jobs.
First time I was working for a well known bookies. Was on a zero hour contract but they kept on calling me to cover other people's hours. I also had another job and was working 7 days a week, full days, some evenings and weekends. My first daughter had also just been born.
I woke up one Sunday morning and thought no, can't do it anymore. The manager was the type to talk you round if you got into a conversation and so I simply stopped going. Wasn't proud of it.
Second time I was going back into employment after being self employed. I got some basic temp work at my former employers, I had been given the impression this would allow me to apply for suitable internal posts, within an hour I found out this was not the case. I was massively over qualified for the temp work and had completed the days work well before lunch time. I hadn't signed any contracts etc and mulled things over whilst having lunch. Thought sod it and went home. My ego definitely played a part. I previously had worked for them for 10 years and felt if one work organisation should know my value, it should be them. I emailed them later.2 -

The P45 isn't too much of an issue, HMRC do "Starter Checklist" for this (it's actually the same as the old P46 for when you've lost a P45 as far as I can tell): available here. I wouldn't worry too much, I've neglected to hand over my P45 previously - I think after I'd negotiated a better salary by lying about my previous one.Huskaris said:

Well you did better than me.
For a while when I was about 20 I worked in a bank in Sidcup. I found it so deadly dull working there, that one day as the bus pulled into the stop overlooking the bank where I was supposed to get off I took one look at it from the upstairs window and just stayed on the bus.
I later phoned them and told them that my girlfriend was pregnant which meant ( for reasons even I could not really work out myself) that I could NEVER EVER GO BACK IN THE BANK.
I don't think I even had a girlfriend at the time.
They were ever so nice and tried to persuade me to come back in to discuss a way forward with this sudden change in my circumstances, but I held on resolutely to my position.
In the end they relented with a long sigh, almost as though this was a regular ploy people used to leave the bank, and we parted company.
The daft things we do when we are kids eh....

First ever job was in a cafe at 16. Did one shift and they asked me to come back. I said Charlton were at home next week, so no chance. They pointed out it was a Saturday job. I sill said 'no dice' and walked off. Parents weren't pleased.
Also walked out of a job at Blockbuster Video after a year of free Doritos. Chucked my keys at my boss and left cos I thought she was a bit mad. Felt amazing that did.
Still, I do wonder @Huskaris if you stand a better chance of finding what you're looking for if you talk to your line managers about anything that's bothering you. A girl at my work is struggling with some stuff, she would have quit by now if she hadn't spoken to her line manager, but right now seems happy as anyone. Which is a bugger, cos I think she might be a complete lunatic.8 -

I know what you mean about line managers, where I previously worked I was given permission to work on projects outside of my team, it was great and I managed to go to Canada for a few days and Rotterdam on a day trip. Here I just didn't have a dialogue with my manager, it really wasn't working out.
Perhaps I should point out my predecessor resigned on the last day before her probation and walked out the door that day...1 -

The nearest I came was when I was in my early 20s when a friend suggested that I went to a lot of job interviews just to get good at them. One particular job interview at the ITV (or whatever they were called then) meant that I had to see 6 different people. After three people, it was getting very tedious, so I told the lady looking after me that I was going to leave at this point. She told me that I couldn't leave until I had seen Mrs Mullins in HR, Mr Osman, my prospective boss, and one of the directors. I thanked her but told her firmly that I was off. There was an audible gasp in the office as the lady showing me around shrieked "Oh my God, he's leaving. What will I tell Mrs Mullins?"
Two days later, I received a letter telling me that I was not suitable for the position.12 -

In the construction industry especially at the lower end violence among employees can be pretty common. I watched two Irish fellas kick the absolute shit out of each other over a shovel. The foreman tried to break it up and said to the less angry of the 2 'calm down its only a fucking shovel' and he got dropped with one hit. The irishman told him to shove his job up his arse and was gone. On 2 counts I decided that job wasn't for me. Firstly because I was a passenger in his car and secondly I thought my own shovel was going to get pinched next and decided a 80 quid a day groundwork job wasn't worth rolling round in a trench for.
I jacked another job in a chip shop which lasted 2 days of being outright abused by a nasty family of Indians who ran the place. I said to the lady of the family the job wasn't for me and she started screaming and shouting at me. I wish I could say I kicked right off but I just swallowed her and her grown up son's bullshit for the rest of the night and locked them both in the 'chip room' before I left after I listened to them bitch and racially abuse me and how much of a cunt I was for quitting a 3 quid and hour job being spoken to and treated like a slave thinking I couldn't hear them. So I pushed the door shut and wedged a massive barrel of chip oil against the locked door for good measure. As I left the shop door open I went to the pub next door and told everyone the owners had buggered off and to help themselves to anything.
Another job I had a stab at was selling double glazing with one of my mates. I'd actually done really well at it on the phones but they knocked me and sneered that there was nothing I could do. They'd taken my commission for themselves so me and said mate went to work and told them to even up the wrongdoing and pay me my bonus and comission or there would be bother. They sneered again so we absolutely wrecked the place. The guy who had done the comission stealing went for me so I punched him and told the other bloke who was busy hiding behind a filing cabinet I'd quit. That was intensely satisfying. I actually git loads of job offers off the back of people telling varying versions of that story.
I went back groundworking after that and did my best to avoid tool stealing irishman

Fucking hell.Carter said:In the construction industry especially at the lower end violence among employees can be pretty common. I watched two Irish fellas kick the absolute shit out of each other over a shovel. The foreman tried to break it up and said to the less angry of the 2 'calm down its only a fucking shovel' and he got dropped with one hit. The irishman told him to shove his job up his arse and was gone. On 2 counts I decided that job wasn't for me. Firstly because I was a passenger in his car and secondly I thought my own shovel was going to get pinched next and decided a 80 quid a day groundwork job wasn't worth rolling round in a trench for.

Huskaris I'm also an accountant. Several decades ago I started for a small outfit with 3 in the office. These days all ledgers are integrated and at interview I asked if theirs were. Yes I was told. They weren't. Boss's BS recs were just a list of transactions. He had no clue how to run a company. I walked out at end of day. He sued me for lack of notice and cost of ad. He turned up with a lawyer but wore a suit with trainers. My defence of mis-representation was accepted within qtr of an hour. Stressful though!2
