Has anyone ever had a job that was so horrible, you quit and walked out on? I had one this year and I don't know, but wondering if I'm getting a bad reference from them if any at all. Have you had this same problem? How did you overcome it? Any tips would be of help. Thanks.

You might consider not choosing to use them as a reference source. Alternatively, if you're being asked why you left your last place of employment, state the reasons, and any courses of action you took in an attempt to resolve the reasons before you quit and walked out.

We all have a bottom line of what treatment we will and will not accept. Kudos to you for being aware of what your bottom line is, and for having the guts to walk out of a bad situation.

I do not use them as a reference if it all possible. If asked why I left, I explain in detail. I have tried to fix the problems, but they do not take suggestions to solve things. Very stubborn people. You wouldn't believe what I got accused of. My husband got a gander of what kind of people they are one night. He advised me to not bother going back. I should have bailed out, but I was covering another on maternity leave and I needed the little money I got. So finally I decided enough was enough and I walked with throwing my key at the office manager. I refuse to be yelled at on a daily basis for all kinds of stuff I didn't do. Thanks for responding.

My wife had a very bad experience when she applied for a sales job.
On her first day of work, she followed her boss for field trip. The boss
is a very moody person and scolded 4 letter words on his other sales
personnel on the cell phone. He seems like double character and split
personality. My wife got a shock of her life and decided to tender resignation
the evening itself. She never put the 'one day job' as a reference at allblink

If it lasted only a day or two, then I would omit it. Unfortunately the job lasted just over a month and I cannot omit this one. I will just have to tell the truth. Just keep me in your prayers as I have an interview tomorrow. Yippee!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. JamesKYTan (504)  3 weeks ago

Hi marysia,
You are going for an interview tomorrow? You better pray fervently. On the other hand I will pray for you too. God will bless you a good job.

Yes, I had a telephone interview and nothing happened so far. Still waiting.

Hi there marysia66, for me I look at it this way if you were not at the job for more than say 6 months it makes little sense to put them as a refrence I have always told myself if an employer wants me they would over look at some places I worked anyway. And really life happens we sometimes get jobs that were never worth our time anyway so just be honest if you feel the need to put it down and if it pertains to the job you are applying for. If not I wouldnt worry about it anyway, I hope this helps and happy mylotting to you as well. happy

I'm really considering not putting them on my applications anymore. It was a waste of my time more than theirs. Thanks.

Hi, marysia66. Yes, I have quit a job before. But I did not just walk out. I did inform my Unit Manager that I was quitting. As far as using this job as a reference, I would not use it. I know that they will give me a bad name, especially my old supervisor. This job I can't come back to ever. It keeps on saying that I am ineligible for rehire.. WTF???blink


myLot reputation of 74/100. marysia66 (144)   ranked 945 out of 6,490 in making money  4 hours ago

No matter how much I need the job, I would never go back. They would never rehire me either. I'm going to have to omit them from now on.
