I just put in my notice this week! There's no better feeling than leaving a bad situation. It's like getting a regenerative phoenix moment after you've burnt out (hopefully you can avoid getting to that point). When I have left jobs in the past, I had a new thing lined up, but in another, I had no real plan whatsoever. Admittedly in that case, I had saved up enough to wing it for a bit, so it depends on your situation. For what it's worth, I have only ever regretted leaving one job, and I only left it because another place promised me more money.

I just put in my 2 week notice for my job that was becoming extremely toxic and taking a toll on my mental health. It feels so good being able to move on and look at other opportunities

Most importantly, I am leaving my current one before I started feeling jaded, burned out, or resentful.
Iâm one of those lucky fucks who really likes their job and I am really grateful to get to close an important chapter in my life/career with grace. I am recommending moving on and growing up!

The reaction you get depends more on your employer than on how you quit.
My first job, I turned in a 2 weekâs notice in person, but got so incredibly sick a week later at my sisterâs wedding reception (I was barely 16 so I wasnât drinking, I was just absolutely dripping snot like a faucet and was soooo nauseated) that I left early. I called in the next day and tried to reiterate that I was so sick I left my own sisterâs wedding early and absolutely could not handle peopleâs food that day. My boss wasnât hearing me and fired me over the phone halfway through my last 2 weeks.
I told my 2nd job I wasnât moving back to my hometown after my first year of college, did it over text (edit for clarification: my old boss texted me to ask, and texting was our primary mode of communicatioâI didnât just text her out of the blue with this information lol) with 2 weeksâ notice before the summer started(I think it might have been like 3 weeks actually, itâs been a while I donât remember, all I know is I hadnât decided whether I was moving back or not until the moment I had to directly answer the question LMAO), and it was totally fine.
In college, I quit both properly and improperly and both situations were okay with no one getting mad at me.
My first job outside of college fired me for giving a 2 week notice instead of longer notice. That boss was awful.
My most recent boss knew I was moving toward a career change and going back to school and all. We hired a replacement who I was training. We agreed on an end date together when renewing my contract for a 4th year. About 2 weeks later, I took accountability for a mistake that really was everyoneâs fault collectively, and I was only given a weekâs notice. I got severance but my boss told me my last day would be 1 week later.
If you really want a good recommendation, make sure you donât burn bridges as you leave. In fact, thatâs best even if you donât care about their recommendation. You donât want anyone to be able to say you were the bad guy.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones âșïž
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
