I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

Sounds like a company I used to work at.Having emigrated and wanting a slower pace of life. I was a little saddened to hear the following speech at a company meeting that they did every month.
"Ive got a problem. I've been having people coming up to me and telling me that they're feeling burnt out.... BURNT OUT!??? BURNT OUT!!!?? I DONT DRIVE MY FUCKING FERRARI FOR BEING BURNT OUT!! You carry on! That Burnt Out feeling is just temporary. If you carry on it goes away!"
This is a company that works it sales staff 16 hour days 7 days a week and jets them off all over the place too. When they're not working theyre getting high on coke and roll playing sales situations with each other.
A few months later, this speech:
"Ive been hearing this little word in my ears. What do you think that is?" sales monkey says "Christmas?" "YES CHRISTMAS!! Christmas?? IT DOESNT EXIST!!! Forget about this Christmas, ask yourself where you will be next Christmas!"
I'm sure he runs that one every year :)
Thankfully I wasn't working in Sales but soon got out of there :)
