Workers commonly face challenging situations that lead to spontaneous resignations. Instances include unreasonable requests from management, such as fetching items in poor weather conditions or being unfairly blamed for issues beyond their control. There are also cases where employees realize the job does not align with their expectations after entering an interview setup that turns out to be more of an orientation without prior discussion or proper interviews. These experiences often catalyze immediate job resignations.
I used to be a bartender. Our owner came in to have a meal with his family before opening. He owned the whole block, including a Mexican restaurant a few businesses down. The owner told the server to get him a margarita from the restaurant. The girl looked at me and kind of chuckled, but he said, 'No, I'm serious.' It was POURING rain. At that point, he was treating her like a servant, not a server. I didn't want to work for someone like that, so I walked out and never looked back.
I had a customer with a later-than-expected delivery date caused by the vendor getting upset. When the customer stepped away from me, my then-manager said, 'This one's on you.' It was, in fact, not on me. I replied, 'Oh yeah? Now it's on you,' and walked out.
I got an interview for a financial analyst role. The interview was scheduled for 10 a.m. I arrived at 9:55 and was told that the 'interview' had already started. I was ushered into a room where a presenter was midway through a presentation to a classroom of about 20 other interviewees. The presenter spent the next half an hour explaining who the company was (they did home loans) and why it was so beneficial to society for people to get their home loans. At 10:30 a.m., there was a break. The person sitting next to me told me that the presentation was part of our induction (meaning we'd already gotten the job, even without an interview), and that the presentation had been going on all morning.
She also thought she was there to do financial analysis, but she didn't have a background in it, and was hoping she'd be trained on the job. But having heard the whole presentation, she was beginning to think it wasn't what she hoped.
