For some employees, there’s one pivotal moment that solidifies their will to leave their current job. That’s the exact moment they walk out the door, never to be seen again (by their current bosses and coworkers, anyway).
In many cases, the reason has to do with poor management. Your job can have tons and tons of downsides, but if you have a reliable boss who has your back, you figure that things will all work out eventually. But for so many workers, the managerial burden is placed on them, all while they make 20x less than their bosses. For example, for workers in the retail field, pressure can be intense: their bosses want the stores to be perfectly clean and stocked every night, leaving them to do 16 hours of work in 4 hours with 2 people. This might mean that some employees are breaking a sweat rushing around, trying to complete every task by the night’s end… all while their boss sits in a back room somewhere doing literally nothing, secure in the knowledge that their employees are doing it all.
These workers highlighted the exact moments they walked out of their jobs — some for good, and some just for a few hours to cool off before heading back to the trenches. You never know what will be someone’s final straw!
