5 shocking reasons that made employees quit on the spot

There are a multitude of factors that can cause an employee to quit.

These can include a loss of enthusiasm for the mission of the organisation, less interest in working with customers and open expression of disenchantment with their firm.

Other indicators can include criticising the employer on social media – as Susan Fowler recently did in a blog post about her ex-employer, Uber, claiming the firm's HR department didn’t take serious complaints on board.

However, sometimes there is no indication. Staff may quit on the spot because an employer is asking them to do something they perceive to be inappropriate, outside of their job remit or just plain disgusting.
