Most dramatic quitting story?

I’ll go first. The intern sent ‘bye’ on #general and was never seen again.

Boss was about to hand me a big new project and was very excited to grow my career. I came to the same conversation saying ‘I do have some news to share…’

Friend of mine got the hint that there are about to be layoffs. They ended up pre-empting it by resigning the same week 😂😂

They would have gotten more money if they get laid off right?

Yeah, they just felt finding a new role might be tougher if they are part of the laid off group

Had somebody who came into the company - just would not talk to anyone. Tried multiple times to meet with him, chill together, would just end up avoiding all our efforts

4 weeks in, just left without most of us figuring out why

Some clarity he had

Someone I know joined a large AlcoBev company. Didnt receive their laptop for a week after joining. Their boss still wanted her to start delivering with no handover or laptop. Used their personal laptop and figured out things on their own. Boss told them I dont have time for you, figure out the shit on your own. Spoke to HR in a couple of weeks, took the boss on call, and resigned right there on the call.

Know of one colleague, she kept asking about future plans of all fellow interns on Slack Huddles during my internship. She kept denying having any plans whatsoever.

When I joined full time, she was nowhere to be found. Came to know that she went to the US to pursue her masters.

Hell, when we asked her via LinkedIn. She ghosted everyone.

The twist is that, we had asked her about her GRE scores, Safe/Ambitious schools, etc. and she denied knowing anything about it. It felt so out of possibility that she even got a US visa, atleast the way she was acting all clueless.

Later I came to know that apparently, her family was against going abroad and she planned all of this while saving money during Covid working remote.

Big brain moment and no one knew about it. Not even her family.
