What was your “That’s it, I quit!” moment?

I’ll go first. I once door to door selling water filtration systems. Business was already shady because they would tell us to stretch the truth and even lie to the people who answered the door. They partnered us up usually. One day me and my coworker were knocking, and we usually got out of the car and would each knock a row of houses across the street from each other. We were doing this, and I get back in the car and wait for her. She comes back clutching her leg and is white as a sheet. I asked “You ok?” And she shook her head and showed me her leg… it was bad. There was a few huge gashes on her upper thigh, and it was bleeding, and it was purple and yellow. Turns out a boxer had burst thru one of the doors she knocked on and locked…

There was a few huge gashes on her upper thigh, and it was bleeding, and it was purple and yellow. Turns out a boxer had burst thru one of the doors she knocked on and locked onto her leg with its jaw. I start driving to urgent care and called my manager back at the home office and let her know what was happening. She then told me to go to a DIFFERENT urgent care further away. I was freaking out because I had a mangled 16 year old in the passenger seat next to me and I’m trying not to throw up. I have to try and help her through the shock while we wait in the urgent care for her to get stitches, which takes hours. After she’s done, im wanting to go home because I was exhausted and stressed out as all hell. But my manager says “You’re going to have to go back out and knock enough houses for the both of you.”

Quit right then.

Apparently after the incident the company tried to say that it was HER fault that she was attacked by the dog. She was fired a week later.
