Two months ago a guy we'd just hired went to lunch and never came back.
Today, two guys submitted their 1-day resignation notice.
Seems as though it's the norm nowadays.

Shitty manual labor because their father never loved them?

Shitty manual labor because their father never loved them?
Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didnt have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them. Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they d interact with others for the rest of their life.
They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exageratly for attention, and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.
Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in ther male world. They re insecure because they re girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom. They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunaltey they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they dont know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc). They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attemptint to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

I dont see why not. When the company decides to fire you, they usually do it on the spot right?

I worked at a health food restaurant in so cal (the good earth, if you rember it). I was a raging alcoholic then. I went to lunch (which consisted of a xigarette) and called my friend. He worked at a liquor store. He told me he just nicked a bunch of beer and was drinking. I hung up the phone and walked out. No letter, no good bye, nothing. Just walked out and drank my face off.
Best move ever! :)

No , employment law seldom allows that, at worst you are suspended without pay until a disciplinary hearing.

A guy contracted me to do a job but his client was a complete ass. I did it. I got through it without beating up an elderly, catty, omnipresent homo and the money was grand. Called me again a year later and contracted me again with like 4 weeks notice and a bag full of money. At a site meeting 2 weeks prior to the start date I find out the impossible old queen client is in hospital and won't be around. The day before we start I visit the site and out comes you-know-who, and he's somehow even worse than last year. I call the guy I'm going to be working for. "I'm here with your client on site. I don't think I can give him what he wants on this job. Sorry."
And that's how I stayed out of prison this year.

Yes. When I was a teenager, I got a job putting the ends on overload springs. After about three hours of this repetitive shit, I took a break and never went back.

Not here in the USA.
Employers have the right to hire and fire (without any given reason) at will.
Likewise, while it is appreciated for a resigning employee to give a month's notice prior to departure, it isn't a law that is enforced.

Not for these states that practice "at-will" employment with no public policy exception:
New York
Alabama
Maine
Georgia
Louisiana
Nebraska
Florida
Rhode Island
Not to mention that even if you do have a contract in place between the employer and employee, assuming the employer does decide to release the employee, disputing the terms of an employment contract is difficult and costly (when out of work), and the burden of proof is on the fired employee.

Me and another guy were playing a long distance game of catch with rock-hard stale bagels when some old lady came in and it sailed out of the back of the shop, over my shoulder, and hit her square in the eye. She didn't stumble or back off or yell or anything. Cool as Clint Eastwood, she asked me if just I hit her. I was a little bit frightened of her at that point. I've never taken a swing at an elderly Jewish woman since.

If its like you say then why would anyone bother signing a contract, and more to the point why would anyone bother compiling one?
-
Flintstones never had the opportunity of quiting a job

Quitting my job today because during my last shift one of the Indian employees I work with felt me up and I almost broke his face in till my Indian boss broke it up

In very few cases, if ever, do contracts actually help the employee.
On the contrary, employers will have the employee sign a contract, because, in essence, it does away with the vast majority of rights that an employee might have to sue their employer. In other words, if you get released for an inappropriate cause or are simply discriminated against while at the workplace, these contracts bind you to arbitration for workplace disputes. By signing into a contract that has an employment arbitration agreement, you are essentially agreeing to not seek out any legal action against your employer in court. Consequently, whatever workplace disputes you have with your boss must be settled through an arbitrator. With Arbitration, you are stripped of your ability to file a lawsuit and your case won't be heard by a court.
When seeking arbitration, your case is heard and decided upon by an arbitrator (not by a judge and/or jury). Your case is also limited to what is brought to the arbitrator on hand. In other words, if you needed to collect evidence from your workplace that a judge can easily facilitate via a warrant, an arbitrator can not facilitate that process for you. Worst of all, all decisions made through arbitration are final, so you can't appeal or take it to court afterwards.

Employers are both very smart and aggressive here when it comes to protecting their interests.
Personally, I hate employer/employee disputes. The little guy tends to always lose and I am not a fan of the tactics employed in those types of situations (in the few incidents where I've sat for a dismissal, you can see that I feel torn, as I can't hide it in my face).
I say live and let live and allow for everyone to make a living, so as long as they are providing a solid effort, are willing to learn as time goes by and provide consistently reliable workplace production.

I had a shitty admin job starting out doing calls, data input and printing for senior staff, I was 22 at the time....hated I and was gona walk out at any moment. Feeling my limit being reached then one day the receptionist who was my age gave me a blowjob in the stationery roomy...so I stayed for a little while longer.
Funniest part she was one of the older broker's niece...and he always joked about how handsome I am tapping me on the back hard and laughing out loud...deep down I was mumbling "soo handsome I'm fucking your niece...infact my fingers smell like her vagina and you shook that hand".

And employers never leave thousands of employees in the lurch with a sudden termination, downsizing, loss of pension benefits, or abruptly going out of business, right? If people are quitting on short notice maybe it is a crappy job? Crappy work environment? Crappy pay? Crappy supervisors? In other words, instead of blaming the employees the employer might want to look in the mirror. Just saying. ::)

Have any of you fired anybody before? I did and felt horrible about doing it but the weed head gave me no choice.

UC Berkeley’s top researcher resigns amid sexual harassment allegations
By Matier and Ross
UC Berkeley’s top research administrator has resigned from his $400,000-a-year post under protest, amid allegations that he sexually harassed his top assistant including touching her breasts, kissing her on the neck and declaring he wanted to “molest” her.
Adding to the drama, his accuser, ex-Assistant Vice Chancellor Diane Leite, was herself fired from UC Berkeley three years ago after it was revealed that she was having an affair with a much younger male subordinate, whose salary she had doubled during the 15 months they were together.
UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks announced Vice Chancellor Graham Fleming’s exit in a brief memo to senior staffers last week, saying the research chief had informed him he was stepping down for personal reasons.
Dirks praised the 65-year-old Fleming for helping UC Berkeley attract hundreds of millions of dollars and maintain its position as one of the world’s “elite research universities.” A spokesman for the chancellor said Fleming would leave his post April 20 and that UC would have no further comment.
The resignation follows a complaint that Leite filed last year with UC President Janet Napolitano, whose office concluded that Fleming had “more likely than not” violated the university’s anti-sex harassment policies.
Leite, now 50, worked under Fleming until her firing in 2012. Among her allegations:
In 2009, while on a university business trip, Fleming rubbed Leite’s feet while they were lying on a hotel room bed fully clothed and put his arm around her.
Fleming touched her breasts during a gathering with colleagues in 2009 at the Cal Faculty Club and said he wanted to “molest” her.
He kissed the back of her neck in 2011 and sent “affectionate and familiar e-mails” to her over an extended period.
In January, Fleming sent Chancellor Dirks a letter acknowledging that he had “used poor judgment” with Leite on several occasion and that he “sincerely” regretted the actions, “as well as the embarrassment those actions may cause the university.”
“However, I strongly deny that any of my actions toward Ms. Leite were unwelcome or otherwise constitute sex harassment,” Fleming wrote.
Fleming wrote that he had a “close, mutually respectful and somewhat affectionate working relationship” with Leite, but that “it was not at any time either sexual or romantic.”
Leite and her attorney did not return phone calls last week seeking comment.
Napolitano’s office concluded in December that there was enough evidence to take disciplinary action against Fleming, effectively forcing him to step down after six years at the helm of UC Berkeley’s all-important research arm.
Among other things, the investigation by Napolitano’s office found that some of Fleming’s behavior toward Leite indicated a “sexual interest in her” and that her actions demonstrated that some of Fleming’s “behaviors were unwelcome.”
Fleming declined comment to us, but public relations consultant Sam Singer, who is working with Fleming’s lawyer, said the former vice chancellor is being “railroaded.”
In a letter to Dirks dated April 8, Fleming said he was resigning under protest and blasted the UC investigative report as “riddled with inconsistencies, mischaracterization of the facts and distortion of witness statements, as well as the selective omission of relevant information.”
Among other things, Singer says, Fleming categorically denies the most explosive allegation — that he touched Leite’s breasts. Singer also said the “molest” remark was a bad joke, for which Fleming had promptly apologized.
Fleming’s legal and PR team said the vice chancellor had asked that another investigator from Napolitano’s office be appointed to conduct an “independent and unbiased review,” but that the UC president had “summarily rejected’’ the request.
“We followed our normal processes, and we’re confident they were properly conducted,” countered Steve Montiel, press secretary to Napolitano. He declined to comment further.
Fleming’s exit is the latest chapter in a drama that began in 2011 when Leite’s relationship with purchasing manager Jonathan Caniezo, who is 17 years her junior, was detailed in a whistle-blower letter to her university bosses. While the two were together, Caniezo’s annual pay grew from $57,864 in 2008 to $120,000.
UC Berkeley officials concluded that Leite had violated the school’s sexual harassment policies. She was reassigned from her $188,000-a-year job as head of the research office to an adviser’s role that paid $175,000.
After news of the scandal broke in 2012, UC came under sharp attack from both the public and legislators in Sacramento, and campus officials asked Leite to resign. When she refused, Fleming fired her.
According to Singer, Leite had plenty of chances to sound the alarm on Fleming’s alleged behavior before she was fired, but never did. Singer’s take is that Leite “made these false charges against him because he did not protect her job.”
The inquiry by Napolitano’s office, however, reached a different conclusion— one that puts a twist on Leite’s harassment claim. It found that Fleming, smitten with Leite, had used his position to “actively interfere” with UC’s effort to fire her.
As it turns out, Fleming — a tenured chemistry professor who has been at the university for 18 years — won’t be heading for the unemployment office. After taking a year’s sabbatical, he will be allowed to resume teaching — though for considerably less money than he made as a vice chancellor.
As for Leite, she’s now working as a research director at the Joint √BioEnergy Institute in Emeryville. It’s a research program that has ties to both UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory — and was founded with Fleming’s help.

She lost all credibility there ::)

Yes, but most state labor laws make it very difficult to do this.
Agreed. An employer can lay you off when when they want to get rid of you. There unemployment taxes will go up, but they don't have to give the real reason for the dismissal. If they fire you for misconduct or just not doing your job well, they'd have to provide a reason at some point should you decide to collect unemployment. In cases of misconduct, the employer doesn't get dinged for you unemployment.
People who believe they've been illegally discriminated against should contact the Bureau of Labor and industry. If you work for a company where you are represented by a union and you seek representation from the union, HR does have to explain why you were dismissed. The also have to prove their case against you. If they have not documented your misconduct and taken action to help you correct it, they're in for a fight.

FFS the sad old bastard didn't even get any off this menopausal supposed sex-pot. He must be thinking fuck it, if I'm gonna do the time, might as well have the crime. 10-1 when he comes back he gets dismissed, smiling, for boning the undergrads.

Seems like your company must be a shit place to work.
Dude, you have no idea!
I'm a loyal person by nature, so I'll stick around until I find something else.
The main issue is that, in my line of business, we are forced to work with people we can't fucking understand (Indians) and have to work insane hours to cover up for their idiocy.
All was good and dandy until they took away the huge bonuses and the OT. People are pretty much fed up and just walking out.

I quit my job earlier today. Gave my boss a 1 hour notice and he knew better than to say I couldn't leave and he wrote me a perfect recommendation because he knew I would tell the owner what had happnened haha plus I got a bonus 500 dollars on my check

Why did you quit? For what you posted, you've insinuated your boss did something inappropriate. Most folks don't get bonuses for quitting.

My manager didn't do anything it was a coworker who is a close personal friend of his. He's some weird closet gay and he's been groping the fuck out of me like he'd squeeze my ass as I walked by and tried to feel my body up so I stuck him in the face in the kitchen and quit the next day. My manager begged me not to tell the owner or else they would both lose their jobs so he added extra money to my check

I figured it might be sexual harassment. You let the guy and the company off cheap. Still it's best to get out as quickly as possible. I agree with your choice to leave. Only thing is, that asshole will keep doing this until someone files charges against him.
One time when I was probably about your age, I interview for a job with the display department director at a well known major department store. He tried to put the moves on me. I walked out of the interview. He was just plain creepy.

Yeah I don't really care about the money I just needed to get the fuck out of there. After I stuck him in the face multiple times he just layed on the floor like the fag he is covered in blood I sorta lost it and just couldn't stop punching him in the face. I doubt he would try to do it again to someone else after that but it's not my problem anymore

My manager didn't do anything it was a coworker who is a close personal friend of his.

In very few cases, if ever, do contracts actually help the employee.
On the contrary, employers will have the employee sign a contract, because, in essence, it does away with the vast majority of rights that an employee might have to sue their employer. In other words, if you get released for an inappropriate cause or are simply discriminated against while at the workplace, these contracts bind you to arbitration for workplace disputes. By signing into a contract that has an employment arbitration agreement, you are essentially agreeing to not seek out any legal action against your employer in court. Consequently, whatever workplace disputes you have with your boss must be settled through an arbitrator. With Arbitration, you are stripped of your ability to file a lawsuit and your case won't be heard by a court.
When seeking arbitration, your case is heard and decided upon by an arbitrator (not by a judge and/or jury). Your case is also limited to what is brought to the arbitrator on hand. In other words, if you needed to collect evidence from your workplace that a judge can easily facilitate via a warrant, an arbitrator can not facilitate that process for you. Worst of all, all decisions made through arbitration are final, so you can't appeal or take it to court afterwards.

I have a decent amount of experience with these matters.
I think most processes tend to be unfair in the long run for the employee versus the employer.

Employees were fortunate where I worked because we had "just cause" in our contract. With some employers it's just 'cuz which means they can can for just because they want to.

Not for these states that practice "at-will" employment with no public policy exception:
New York
Alabama
Maine
Georgia
Louisiana
Nebraska
Florida
Rhode Island
Not to mention that even if you do have a contract in place between the employer and employee, assuming the employer does decide to release the employee, disputing the terms of an employment contract is difficult and costly (when out of work), and the burden of proof is on the fired employee.

Texas is also an at-will state

I worked with a gay guy that had a thing for straight men. More often then not, he was sporting a black eye. I think he enjoyed getting beat up

I've been both sides of this.
Management will exercise their right to can you 'at will' but there is a little more going on behind the scenes.
They have to make sure they get the right balance of age/ethnicity/sex in those that get canned, otherwise they are open to discrimination lawsuits.
Whilst they can cut you 'at will' it does NOT mean they are not exposed in other ways.
The best way to handle things all round is for the employer to pay the employee to resign. That is what i always did. Invite them in, tell them it's their last day, show them a letter of resignation in their name alongside a check. Invariably they will sign the letter partly because you arent giving them time to think. Partly because the check is reasonably generous.
Always watch the pattern of job cuts where you are & how its done. That helps you to plan for when it happens to you. Watch out for any skirting of safety laws, anything they might get caught out on.
When it happened to me, it took me an hour to negotiate a settlement of just under $200k. Never threaten to go to court/police unless they give you money. That will blow your case. Do consult a lawyer ahead of time if you think your turn is soon. They will tell you how to play it.

One job I was in for 4 years or so i walked out on a Friday morning over a dispute where the company's owners son trying to blame his fuck up on one of my mates. Was planning on leaving to go self employed always and has been advertising and pricing work which made the decision easier.

One of my first programming jobs. The market was damn good so finding another job was piss easy. I woke up on the Friday and thought 'fuck it'. I was struggling getting this dropdown box to populate dynamically and didn't feel like struggling no more.

Contracts between employers and employees are very common in the US in highly competitive and highly skilled occupations where the employer usually invests a great deal in employees via training, licensing / certs, and other costs.
Non-compete contracts are also common, but are hard to enforce - at least outside of the local area.
I have paid thousands to a former employer (who I left for greener pastures and more money) when I did not stay with the former employer up to an agreed upon date. They paid me a salary, plus paid for my training and testing for several securities and insurance licenses.
I have also paid a fair amount of money to another former employer when I left to start my own business (in the same industry) and took most of my clientele and their assets with me.

Many people who "play with themselves" don't quit there jobs in order to do it.

A VP at my former company did... I was in a meeting and he got in a fight with the boss... Said he was done with us all and stood up and stormed out. Never came back.

A day job can significantly cut into your "playing with yourself time."
