40 People Who Quit Their Job In A Way That Makes You Say, ‘Well Played!’

Most of us dream of the day when we get to quit our jobs. We imagine how we would like to ‘stick it to the man’ or say our piece to the boss with an ‘in your face’ swagger and depart in a flamboyant display of freedom. But how often do we actually quit and leave such a lasting impact that it becomes a tale for the ages? When push comes to shove, the truth is not all of us are capable of such dramatic exits. However, it appears that some folks have the skill and the flair to pull it off satisfyingly enough for the rest of us to live vicariously through the experience too. Scroll down to read the best submissions of folks quitting their jobs, leaving us feeling mildly vindicated too.
