Being in a toxic work environment can be extremely hard to handle. When you have to go to a place that is unhealthy and unsupportive on a regular basis, it can seriously impact your life outside of your job.
Many people decide to quit their jobs and leave companies when they are toxic and bad for their sanity. However, not everyone quits in the same way.
Olivia Bason, also known as Olivetrizzle, shared a video of how she quit her tanning salon job to TikTok.
Bason shared she was quitting her job because "management sucks" and she gets taken advantage of way too much.
The first thing she did was let people know the store's closed.
Which, in fairness, at least that's a very nice way to start everything off. It could have been so much worse if she left it open.
It seems that at the time, she was the only employee to be at the store, so closing was her only option.
If you're going to close the entire tanning salon, making sure all of the lights and machines are off is definitely crucial and key.
Bason also clocked out of her shift.
Which, again, while she's quitting a little dramatically, is still a responsible way of doing things. She could have just never clocked out.
However, clocking out mid-shift means she's definitely not getting her full salary. However, she did the right thing and made sure it was taken care of.
Bason shared in another video that her manager was now "withholding her wages" because she had not returned the tanning salon key within 24 hours.
She shared the text messages online and showcased the conversation with her former manager.
Apparently, commenters who work at the same franchise company claim that there is a contract clause that says you are charged $300 for keys not returned.
People online were divided about the way Bason quit.
Needless to say, as usual, the internet had a lot of opinions that people felt the need to share.
Many shared that tanning salons frequently underpay and overwork employees, causing them to have no other choice but to quit.
Bason not only locked up, she made sure to shut all the lights and also leave a sign for customers to know they were closed.
Some agreed that she quit gracefully to make sure that everything was taken care of.
Other people online thought Bason made a "show" out of quitting just for TikTok views and Internet fame.
And they weren't the only ones who felt that way.
Once something is on the internet, it stays there, so if someone looks her up when she applies for a job, this may not work in her favor.
What do you think about how she quit her job? Do you agree with what she did or disagree?
