The one where fucthest8 rage quits his job

[Rebelda]

Proud of you lovely, if that's not strange. Xx

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

My last five minutes were barely coherent Teams mesages, so not quite that good, but I did finish with something like

"Fuck it in fatc this has maed my mind up I fukcing quit"

Actual spelling may have been even worse

Working remotely does make it harder to shit on your bosses desk before leaving.

The poop emoji followed by the angry face emoji isn't quite the same.

Although just like in the emoji movie this poop emoji is voiced by Patrick Stewart just instead of calm picardy voice its yelling while Tommy gunning a borg picard voice.

 

[fucthest8]

Seriously though you lot, thanks for the support. I know I'm not the most prolific poster and tbh I feel like the outsider all the time, everywhere, so it really matters yeah?

Rebelda not weird, well any more than your post making me a bit tearful eh?

Onwards and upwards people.

 

[fucthest8]

Honestly think the OP is my most "liked" post ever

Go down fighting

 

[fucthest8]

Go down fighting

We're going down, down, in an earlier round
but sugar we're going down swinging

 

[moose]

I would shake you by the hand, if there wasn't a pandemic on. xx

 

[Poot]

I have never heard of the term 'rage quitting a job' before but I think it's magnificent. More of this, please.

 

[onenameshelley]

I nearly added, especially if it's strange actually but genuinely, boldly choosing self care is such a brilliant, brave, and important thing to do. The more we all do it, the less we'll all have to do it, I hope.

 

[Epona]

I know that must feel good to just say fuck the lot of you and walk!! Very ballsy and something to feel proud of - and hopefully you'll find something a lot better soon. Also you're not an outsider here mate. Best of luck to you!

Just to say that I think of you as the ultimate insider. Well, here anyway.

It‘s a brilliant thing to do. Excellent self care. Your mental health is worth 15 jobs

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

well done, treat yourself for a while before heading back out there.
I only ever quit one job, and as that was pre-internet days I had the satisfaction of reducing the evil manager to tears after telling them what I thought, pretty sure they recovered quickly to keep climbing the ladder.

 

[krtek a houby]

This is very brave and the right thing for you to do when it takes such a toll. Bravo.

There were times when wished to quit in a ball of fury and angst but was oft told not to "burn bridges", so, no. Was always the slow, die inside kind of waiting until cutbacks, sorry, re-structuring the business model...

Apart from a few times years back when walked out of temp jobs you wouldn't give a dog.

Onwards & upwards, fucthest8

I know a couple of people who quit in similar circumstances without actually burning any bridges tbf. Less satisfying, but it can be done.

When you absolutely def never want to darken their doors again it’s different, obv.

 

[fucthest8]

I'm always surprised anyone even notices me, apart from some of the older hands that I've actually met and/or properly know irl. Plus anyone off the cat thread obvs

moose I'd give you a hug if you weren't so far away and there wasn't a pandemic on!

 

[Supine]

Great work. I want to rage quit a job now. Wonder if anyone has done it via a big teams meeting???

Babes, I hate to tell you this, but you are part of the fabric of the community❤

I'm certain someone must have over the last eighteen months or so, it would be glorious wouldn't it?

I'm not sure that's exactly true, but thanks for saying so. Once again, I really, really appreciate all the kind things you've all said.

 

[aqua]

Mate I don't know where you get the idea from that you're not known here. You're part of the furniture like so many of us. Your cheeky grin, your sense of humour, the sarcasm. You're a very firm part of this community in your own right and always will be.

Big love to you, it's been too long in person x

When I say fabric, I mean like a well worn corner booth in the pub ❤ xx

I've always fancied storming off zoom, leaving my chair spinning round on screen.

 

[fucthest8]

like a well worn corner booth in the pub ❤ xx

My signature look!


I also want to say that I absolutely recognise what an obscene position of privilege I did this from. Plenty of times in the past I would have carried on and just sobbed in the loos every now and then as a coping mechanism. I'm very fortunate that this time, I could say fuck it.

Which reminds me, time for a rousing chorus of the Fuck Work song

 

[Edie]

Babes, I hate to tell you this, but you are part of the fabric of the community❤

Absolutely this!

Very best of luck to you. As others have said, overdue by the sounds of it. No job is worth therapy ffs.

Hope 2022 is lucky for you and the missus x

 

[sojourner]

Well done Mr Big Balls! I've never had the guts to do it, apart from a couple of huge tantrum walk-outs in my teens, and then I just had a brew int cafe and went back in again Enjoy your christmas

 

[rubbershoes]

Sounds like you're better off out of there.

Er..... is this the job where I know the boss?

 

[Bus Honeygun]

Nice one! No job is more important than your mental health. Time for a bit of this:

 

[kalidarkone]

Amen!

 

[smmudge]

Well done!! jobs definitely aren't worth compromising your health for. Take some time to look after you, the next better opportunity will be along before you know it

 

[fucthest8]

Well, sort of - you know just one of them IIRC and that one was not my boss
