Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML

Today, I finally quit my job after talking with a friend about making our own design/multimedia company. While I was on my way to his house, he called me and told me not to quit because he got an awesome job offer and couldn't refuse. FML

Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML

Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML

Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML

Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Bad timing

Today, the company where I used to work at announced that there would be a staff reduction because of the low income caused by the pandemic. I just quit yesterday in favor of another job. All of my former workmates are getting paid their respective settlements because of this termination, while I'm not. FML

Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML

At least you had a job! Even if it sucked, in today's economy you should have just sucked it up and looked for something better before you quit. ydi completely.

Why would you quit your job before discussing it with your spouse? That's never a smart idea and stop complaining. Go to work, do your job and go home. It's life.

Eh, I've got to vote NEI on this one-- Not Enough Info. It's possible they did discuss it in the past. If they thought the husband's job was secure and they could have survived on just his income for a time, he could've said he'd support whatever decision she made. It wouldn't be the first time someone's job security turned out to be an illusion. Maybe she just picked the wrong day to finally decide.

That's why you find a new job before you quit your old one.

You quit your job like a whiny bitch without consulting any family members and without finding another job to do? I see no downside of this plan, I don't know how it went wrong.

Well it's been bend over and take it in the ass from the democrats since 2007 so sure why not from capitalism too? I hear that every once in a while it finds one it likes and gives them a billion dollar company as a reacharound.
