Have You Ever Quit A Job Without Notice?

Yes I was running 3 construction jobs in Laredo Texas 3 years ago, for $12.00 an hour wages are very cheap there! LOL! I normally made 24.00 an hr. But I was sending out about 4 resumes a day back then, I had a home in Monterrey MX and wanted to live there! I got a call from a company in Atlanta GA , and they needed help bad! I talked to the boss on the phone it was 28.00 an hr. plus hotel paid and 28 a day for food, traveling all over the USA installing Anti terrorist systems for the State of New York and US army and Air Force basses, every where, I told hom I wanted to live at my home in Mexico, he asked about an airport, and there's a big one 20 minutes from my house. He asked if I could fly to Atlanta in two days! Yes! I walk out on the construction jobs! Hello! Wouldn't you? tdemex

I have done it one time, My boss just made me so mad that i just walked out the door, and never went back, but i was working at the time because i wanted to not because i had too.

i just quitted some jobs when they did not pay you at th end of he month!!You know here is a thing really spread from many indutries especially in the recession times...

No, I have always given 2 weeks notice. I never wanted to leave a job like that. I don't think it is fair to the employer to do that to them. On the other hand I was working for about 9 months on a temporary job that was supposed to turn into a full time permanent position. I was laid off, or told that is was a lay off, but they were just ending my assignment. The man gave me no notice whatsoever. I just was told at the end of the day that that day had been my last day. That really sucked... Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I didn't do that, but I did give my boss less than two weeks notice and he let me go that very same day. No, I don't regret it. I got into a better position. And the boss was kind of an idiot anyway.

Good discussion....this was actually on the list i keep of possible disscussions to start, i just hadn't gotten around to it. This happened where i work as a manager last night, a young kid (i think 17) had turned in his two week notice and was suposed to be working for another week. He came in, started his shift, but after about an hour just closed down his register (i work in a grocery store by the way) and walked up to the lady in charge on the front end, said i don't want to do this any more, punch out, grabbed his things from his locker and left. I personaly would never do this to an employer, no matter how much i was disliking my job. I would turn in my two week notice and work through it, though i might ask them to schedule me for as few hours as possible during this time, then be done. Sometimes i don't think younger kids realize how bad this is going to look when they go to apply for another job and have to put down references. When another business calls for references on a person who has worked there before, all we are allowed to tell them is how long they worked for us, what position they held, and whether or not we would hire them back. If you don't work your two weeks notice, that last answer is a NO! Which is a big red flag to many other employers, even though they don't learn the reason WHY, as this can mean one of many differnt things, either the person was a bad worker, the person stole, the person never showed up for work, the person walked out on the job..or many more things, but all of them are good reasons to NOT hire someone.

I did that once with a babysitting job. The mother took advantage of me for way too long, and didn't pay me enough. I called my own mother at home, and she came and covered for me until the lady came home. I went home with my step-dad. When the lady saw my mother there, she realized that she'd gone too far.

I quit a factory job back when I was younger. It was a shoe factory and I just couldn't handle it at the time. When we went on our lunch break, I just didn't go back. Looking back I know it was the wrong thing to do because my stepmom pulled some strings so I could get a job there. But I went back to doing what I liked and at the time I was a nurse's aid...

hmmmm well, its my first job since last 12 yrs tell me what to do

my current job is my first one and i'm currently looking/applying for my second. I'm tired of what i'm doing and it's agonizing that i have to serve 30day notice before I can finally exit from the company. I don't wanna leave or quit without notice, it's my first job. i mean, i wanted to make things proper and besides i'm with the company for long now and it would be better to have a good relationship though i'm no longer part of the company.

I have quit two jobs without notice. First one was because boss wouldn't pay me so I just quit right at the last minute. Second time was because I was pregnant and they kept telling me to lift heavy stuff saying it wouldn't hurt me but I knew other wise. My mother miscarried from lifting heavy stuff. I just never came for my next shift.

I quit Kmart with absolutely no notice. I only worked there one day, I hated the customer service, I hated the fact the machines always broke. It just wasn't a good match. I should have stuck around for a paycheck though.

just for the boss too bad to work for him,so,just not return on the next scheduled!!! without no paided!!!

i did have one. it was like after a happy shift, my senses never did got right and twisted around, then there's this sudden urge of quitting the job because of the frustrating schedule. and the next day i know, i was already applying to some other company and my previous company was still calling me to go back to work. Regrets? i never had none, cause i know i did was able to find success and clearer path on what i have now.

i do it once! i am about 22 years old then, im working as a personal secretary to a lawyer...its just because i get scared! hehehe my boss that time told me, after working for him just for about two months...he told me that he wanted me to be his wife! waaaaaaah! and after that day, i don't report for work anymore and don't answer his calls again! hehehe well so far that's the only incidence i remember i quit a job without any notice!

I did sort of like that...I gave a resignation letter one day before the effectivity of that resignation...Its kinda funny... I made it a point that my superior has no choice than to allow me to go...

Nope. As much as possible I wanted to have a good record when it comes to my employment history, so I try to avoid such things when I can. :)

me//never been that situation ever..
