I got to quit an incredibly toxic insurance job without notice. I got a better job and wrote a "fuck you" notice letter, delivered it in person, then got to watch the bosses read it and panic as I packed up my cubicle. Other employees in the department asked why I was quitting and I said that the company sucks and that our department gets paid the least despite doing the most intense work and being under the most pressure. I said I felt like I was working for villains because all management cared about was profit. I went to Denny's afterwards for a job well quit.
One of the other employees ended up being my neighbor when I bought my house, and she told me a bunch of people quit right after I did and that the department I was in is pretty much empty now.
The feeling of quitting like that is incredible. I've never felt that way before or since. I don't go out of my way to fuck over people who have mistreated me, but that job fuckin deserved it. Too bad the company is a nation-wide company, so it can't go out of business easily. At least I was able to mess up one location for a bit lol.
