Most people have dreamed about quitting a job that they hate but very few of us ever get to live out that fantasy. Recently, an ex-McDonald's employee got to do just that and more.
After mounting frustration became too much to bear, they decided to quit in the middle of their shift. The story is truly incredible, but the outcome seems to have the internet divided.
Frustrated and fed up, they decided to close the restaurant down early and walk off the job.
Before the employee left, they affixed a sign to the drive-thru speaker that read, "We are closed because I am quitting and I hate this job."
At that time, the restaurant was indeed open but nobody seemed to notice the sign that the ex-employee had left behind.
@GreatApeDad told Today food why he took a photo of it.
"So I took a picture, uploaded it to Twitter not thinking much of anything about it."
"I think that people are just frustrated, especially the working class[sic] people who are there in the front line."
I have to say, I agree, and I don't think the pandemic made it any easier on people.
Twitter user @FruityBruno also used to work at McDonald's.
They said that everyone they used to work with felt the same level of disdain and would have happily walked off the job, as well.
Considering everything the world went through during the pandemic, I'll have to agree with that one.
Life is too short to hate what you're doing, in my opinion.
"I started working at McDonalds this year & I can tell you I've never felt so over worked in my life! Before I worked at waffle House and I thought I had it bad but McDonalds is a whole different story!!"
Twitter user @joerock513 argues that human beings who are unwilling to do the jobs that they willingly applied for are a recipe for disaster.
"I am just guessing but this isn't exactly a resume builder. Am I right?" they said.
Which is also true. If someone asks why they quit their last job (or how) it's not always a great story to tell.
It's practically a running gag at this point that the ice cream machines are never working.
So the tweets saying this was to cover up for the ice cream machine really made my day.
What do you think? Would you ever quit your job in this manner?
