I count 6 jobs that I walked out of and never returned:
- Got caught stealing and bailed
- My friend (boss) left so I did too
- No-showed after 2 weeks
- Burnout. Handed my keys to a coworker and marched out a back door in to the sunlight
- Vaccine mandates. I started taking all my sick days when I knew the deadline was looming.
- Realized I was becoming suicidal sitting at a desk and PC. Emailed my boss one night that I was never coming back.
I have never completed a notice period.
