I was not doing great mentally and it took me 5 2 week notices printed, 2 being turned in. And now I finally quit without even giving my two weeks. Though it seems a bit unprofessional for me to do, I genuinely just had enough of this place. I love all my coworkers, they were all nice to me but if this job is hindering me from my success, I fear it is not worth it. My boss is still hoping for my return and said I can take a mental break, but I can’t take another shift with nothing but stress. My favorite coworker also quit so I left on his last day of working since we also kinda told each other we’ll quit together. Haha life is so awesome.

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

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.

The reaction you get depends more on your employer than on how you quit.
My first job, I turned in a 2 week’s notice in person, but got so incredibly sick a week later at my sister’s wedding reception (I was barely 16 so I wasn’t 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 sister’s wedding early and absolutely could not handle people’s food that day. My boss wasn’t hearing me and fired me over the phone halfway through my last 2 weeks.
I told my 2nd job I wasn’t 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 communicatio—I didn’t just text her out of the blue with this information lol) with 2 weeks’ notice before the summer started(I think it might have been like 3 weeks actually, it’s been a while I don’t remember, all I know is I hadn’t 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 everyone’s fault collectively, and I was only given a week’s 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 don’t burn bridges as you leave. In fact, that’s best even if you don’t care about their recommendation. You don’t want anyone to be able to say you were the bad guy.

Not really a love song but everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of him. I do miss him so much because of the connection we had. I hope my absence impacts him the way his does to me.
