Have you ever left a job because you felt undermined, slighted or passed over for promotion?

Answer 1

Yes, about 15 years ago. I went to a new job where the office was forming from the ground up, so to speak. No one knew anyone when we were hired. It was a challenge, and I loved it. I felt so revived after the year of hell preceding it. My previous job was hampered by many family members working in the same office--what a freaking nightmare. I will NOT work in that situation again.

Answer 2

Yes. It was a warehouse job I had for over 5 years. The company was quick to issue me "awards" for high production, but never raises or the promotion I wanted AND deserved. Never mind that our expected units per hour were 600, and I pulled 2000-3000 per hour. With perfect accuracy. I told them to go to hell, and now I'm in college, so I can have a good job that I don't break my back every day doing.

Answer 3

Yes, I was making a lot of money at a job, but since I was the only one in town, they depended on me too much when the weather was bad. I got more patient compliments than anyone. When raise time came up, I got an above average raise. I asked the supervisor what more I could have done, that she could get back to me in ac ouple of weeks of what I could do to get a top raise. We met again, she said she could not think of anything else, but her decision stood. it wasn't long after that I quit for, ironically, a much less paying job I liked better....

Answer 4

Not exactly that. I left coz the then assistant manager kept kicking me in the shins or knocking stuff into me whenever she walked by me at the vats, and coz she sometimes said stuff about me when I had my headset on and she should have turned off hers before she said it. The other coworker she said it to would always laugh and agree so that kinda stung. After a while of her behavior and my trying to remain cheerful, I felt no one liked me so I quit coz it wasn't even worth the money...she kept decreasing my hours....

Answer 5

Yes I have. There's this third rate person called Sean who used to be the General Manager. He had this coterie that he wanted to promote before everyone else while the rest of us were expected to wait in line for the crumbs. He tried his politics on me & I quit utterly frustrated, drowning 3 years of excellent work!
But it's cool. I have the designation that I wanted, I have the money by God's grace.
I've realized that in this competitive market, quitting can bring organizations to their knees! Don't take **** from nobody!

Answer 6

I've only worked for one employer in my life.
I started working 3 years ago, I was promoted to Junior Sales Manager last year, so no complaints...and no reason to quit my job.
I love what I'm doing & the people I work with!

Answer 7

i have left a church choir before...but mostly it was because i felt up the 80 year old lady playing the trombone, and also i didnt know any of the lyrics and also i started a raging debate over the need to institute more stringent laws against the feeling up of 80 year old women who have the respiratory wherewithal to play a trombone.

Answer 8

I had one that I should have left for all those reasons and ended up wasting about 6 extra years there before I left.

Answer 9

Yeah actually. One of my first jobs, which was at Dairy Queen when I was seventeen. I had to go home sick, and it happened to fall on the birthday of my boyfriend at the time (hubby now), and my boss didn't believe that I was really sick, so I walked out the door that same day. That boss was an @ss anyway; he was fired and arrested later on for embezzling money from the store, ha!

Answer 10

yes, when i was 22 i was an assistant manager foe circle k, i ran the store for 2 years and the district manger knew it. but she kept passing me over because the manager was going to retire in a "few" years and she couldn't run the store by herself. their other excuse was 22 was too young ...........so i left and manged a store for texaco.
