Yeah, almost every job I've ever had. My first 2 jobs u didn't walk out of, but was laid off and put in my notice.

Gas station job, had horrible and corrupt management. I had to work totally unreasonable hours and they refused to pay. We were supposed to get paid every other Friday. But the boss claimed it was the 1st and 15th of the month. But then when it came time to pay, he said the 1st or 15th had to land on a Friday in order to get paid. After a very long argument between him and the rest of the employees, he did eventually start paying. Of course we got cheated because he claimed we were being paid early so he charged a fee. I ended up being his one and only employee left at the end, and I requested 1 day off. He promised to cover, but then he changed his mind because he didn't want to cover. So I quit. Told him I wasn't coming back, then he agreed to let me have the day off but it was too late.

Next job was at an interstate rest area. My parents worked there and got me on. But then later it turned out my dad was sleeping with my boss, which caused mom to quit. My boss came to me and told me I had to choose between my job or my mom and if I stayed it meant I was on hers and dad's side. So I walked out. She eventually left the job and the new manager called for me to come back, and I did. But I ended up walking out again about 2 years later after more drama was stirred up and things were being done to drag me into it.

After that is my hotel job, which I walked out if twice and was asked to return twice. Currently in my 7th or 8th year there. Anyway, more corrupt management, somehow even more scummy and sleazy than my gas station boss. Would absolutely screw you over in order to look better himself or get a bonus. He tried that with me once, but I saw it coming and talked with a coworker, they offered to switch shifts with me. I explained that if I was right, that things would be pinned in them instead of me. They agreed anyway. I was right, things got pinned in them, and they walked out. With me right behind.

Later the entire management team, and all but 1 employee was fired. They were desperate for workers and I was asked to return. I reluctantly did, and the new management team was absolutely wonderful. By far the best people I've ever worked with. It was great. But then Covid hit, and tanked our numbers. The owner of the hotel looked at the old fudged numbers from before Covid, and the new numbers from after, and decided he liked the old numbers better. Fired the new team and brought in the old manager. He immediately began cutting corners, cheating people, and fudging the numbers again. Then of course, lockdown ended and people started travelling again so the numbers only increased... It stuck around for a bit but ultimately walked out due to abusive behavior from the new staff.

About 9 months later they called and asked me to return. I told them I didn't want to, but I was promised to only be worked 2 days a week(being overworked was part of why I quit). That I would be treated better and such. It's been about a year and a half since I went back, and it's the same as before. They do tend to keep me on 2 days a week, but I'm the first to be called to cover other people's vacations. Which tends to put me on 14-21 days in a row with no days off on all 3 different shifts. That happens about every other month. Not sure how much longer I'll last if it keeps up.
