I did back in Sept. 2012.

I used to work on the inside (money processing) for an armored company. It was year of events that eventually led me to quitting. In the fall of 2011, we lose one our biggest customers but everything was still mostly cool. At the beginning of 2012, my manager and another worker get fired over missing money. A handful of people knew about it but I guess they couldn't fire everybody. shyt got crazy for a little bit with the OT but it worked it's way down.
Fast forward to May 2012 and we gain a "new" old customer which in brings in more work than we can handle. Hell, our whole region did a horrible job of planning for the new work. My hours got even worse. I went from 40-42 hrs/wk to like 60. What good is a lot of OT if I'm too tired to do shyt. :manny: Finally by September (which is when my department finally hired a manager - that's right, my area took 8 mos. to officially hire a manager :stopitslime:), shyt was affecting me on a personal level so I said fukk it.

shyt was hard though as it took me 9 mos. to find something permanent. I did do a couple of temp jobs along the way but that shyt is temporary. I applied for mass jobs but got the runaround a lot. The shyt I hated the most is when a job talks about entry-level type but then asks for all this experience. A lot of jobs out here ain't willing to train for nothing. :pacspit:
I talked about this shyt in another thread. Shyt is supposed to be an entry-level job but they want at least 2 years of experience:why:. Gat Damnit, ENTRY-LEVEL means that ANYBODY can be trained to do a job without ANY prior experience! These employers are too fuccin lazy to train anyone.
shyt was hard though as it took me 9 mos. to find something permanent. I did do a couple of temp jobs along the way but that shyt is temporary. I applied for mass jobs but got the runaround a lot.
This is the only thing that stops me from quitting my current job. 'Cause you never know when you're gonna get another one. But as soon as I find another job, I'm ghostin'.

Employers wonder why workers are tired and stressed. Cause they enforce such unrealistic bullshyt :stopitslime:

I quit a couple of jobs many years ago and played taxi driver in my own car for a bit :heh:

I made nearly triple the amount as the unofficial taxi driver to people than that bullshyt job that had me stocking bullshyt. They weren't even organized with stocking shyt and people got mad when they couldn't find shyt. :snoop:

I quit that so fast that them crooked managers and snitch ass co-workers were :sadbron: when I was one of the best workers there. :blessed:

Breh I've quit so many jobs. I got no choice but to lie on my resume, when they ask about gaps in my work history I just say I worked for my brother :pachaha:

I only regret quitting one that was a potential career cause I had to drive in rush hour traffic for 3:30 hours a day. Working 4-10hr days and bein on-call?....I wasn't bout that life at the time but if I stayed there I could have moved closer in a couple months and I would probably be living good :mjcry:

Quit one surveillance job cause I didn't want to snitch on coworkers for doing dumb shyt like talking about football to the point where they might get fired. Couldn't live with that :yeshrug:

I've quit places but had something lined up, can't quit today and have something else tomorrow like you use to be able to do, these days you're stuck.

Funny thing now is, after months struggling applying everywhere. I get offered a management position that's gonna pay good, but out of the blue I got offered two interviews..One on the first day I start next week :mjcry: and I won't be able to make it.. And the second one is scheduled for next month..Id quit before I even started, if I knew for sure I got a better opportunity :mjcry:
