What made you quit?

If you ever quit a post-college, professional job, what happened? What made you leave? (talking about good jobs here. Not McJobs)

I came off maternity leave with a 6 week old baby and a three year old and felt that it was too much juggling, so I became a SAHM instead.

Micromanagement and constant criticism, dismal employee morale. Expectation to work at least 50 hours per week for less than $100k.

Nasty boss and coworkers.

Was divorced. Could not pay the mortgage on my current salary. Looked for a new job. New job offered me. $40k more. Was able to stay in my house with new job.

Guess your old employer should have offered you a raise?

First job out of grad school. Rampant sexual harassment by senior management. Misuse of donor funds. Promotion of unqualified junior staff who either didn't know what was going on or were willing to overlook it. I got the hell out of there.

Boss who routinely refused to let me present my work, who yelled at people, and who, perhaps most importantly was not half as smart as I am.

Few months later he was fired. I texted him a photo of myself and another one of his directs having a drink with the caption "congrats."

Did that make you feel better?

Putting in 60 hours a week... Salary on 43k and having to use my own car... And getting reimburse when they felt like it for mileage..

I initially worked full-time. After baby, I worked part-time at the same company in a different position (I was totally fine with the new position). They eventually told me I needed to go back to f/t so I quit because I knew that I was going to try to get pregnant again soon and I wouldn't want to be working f/t after the birth.

NP. I don't even get it. You congratulated him for being fired? It makes no sense. Work on your come back.

Are you seriously in need of someone to explain it to you?

I guess it's just stupid. I don't know how it could make anyone smile. The fired boss was probably relieved.
