A TON of us have dreamed at one point or another, of a FANTASTIC way to quit a job we hated!

 

Some jobs are just horrible. Some jobs are bad. Then there are the jobs that are so unbearable, that it almost DEMANDS a worthy exit.

 

When I lived in Georgia, in between radio gigs, I took a job as a car sales person. The guy that hired me was a regular at a bar I used to bar tend at (Another gig in between radio jobs) and I should have known it was going to be an awful experience just by the amount of liquor the guy could pound down on any given night. it should have probably also been a red flag that the same guy would regularly get in bar fights too! (*shaking my head*)

 

So when it came time to add another job to the line up, he asked me if i wanted to learn how to sell cars. To say I was not in the least bit excited is the under statement of the century!

 

Flash forward…..After nearly a solid month of working for the literally the worst human being on the planet (bar guy) I KNEW I had to quit. He was abusive to me (only woman on the sales staff), the customers, you name it. He was loud, abrasive, rude, mean, and just every bad word I can think of right now. I despised this person.

 

On one particular day after a “slow” period he essentially embarrassed me in front of the entire staff claiming I had no business selling anything to anyone because I was too nice, weak and meager. (I mean, I’ll take the nice compliment, but what a jerk!)

 

I decided I was hell bent on selling a REALLY good car that day, and that during the financing process I would just walk out. So I did. I sold probably the most expensive truck on the lot, brand new with all the bells and whistles. I told the customer that he was helping me with most epic “I quit” scenario ever, and fortunately he was happy to oblige. he specifically said he would buy the most expensive vehicle on the lot and play along because the guy sounded like a “tool”. I also told him we need to work with everyone BUT mean guy and he agreed that he would not buy unless jerk face was out of the deal. Perfect.

 

Customer got a KILLER truck, I got to quit in epic fashion (by the way, “boss” called me every day for two weeks asking me to come back hahahahahaha sucka!)

 

Bye mean dude! I’m out! (Fortunately, I KNEW I had just been offered a really good radio gig in Atlanta, so I was at ease that financially, I was cool! Whew.)

 

What is an EPIC way you quit a job you absolutely hated?
