A woman on TikTok has drawn massive criticism after she quit her job on the spot without giving the customary 2-week notice. @potato_munchkin420, who’s 24, had enough of dealing with toxic colleagues, so she filmed herself telling her boss she was dunzo. “I quit my job today,” she captioned the clip. Unfortunately, not everyone was impressed.
She was just over it.
In the clip, the camera focuses on @potato_munchkin420’s face as she says, “I’m sorry, I quit. I’m done” as tears stream down her face.
You can then hear a voice off-camera, which appears to be her boss, saying, “Well, that’s not very mature.”
“You’re not very mature,” the TikToker hit back.
She mentioned in the comments that the colleague in question was 40 years older than her.
The video now has nearly 10 million views.

Many people hit up the comments to express their disapproval of the move, saying that it’s not professional to leave a job without giving notice or doing things the official way.
“You should have given a 2-week notice or something. Now your coworkers are prolly gonna have to fill in for you without extra pay.,” one person suggested.
Another wrote, “Write a notice letter. It’s a hassle but I’ve seen people getting denied their dream jobs because former employees told them they quit on the spot.”

However, she still had plenty of supporters.
Many people believed the TikToker had made the right move despite knowing nothing about her or the job she quit. However, having been in similar miserable situations themselves, they felt it was important to do what felt right.
“I quit my job a couple years ago, because my boss took advantage of me and made my mental health really bad,” one commenter shared. “I took a little time off to see how I would feel before quitting. I came in and handed in my letter of resignation, apologized and all my boss did was read the letter and said, ‘Okay, have a great day.’ She was probably the worst person and boss I ever had.”
A second person recalled, “When I quit my job of 9 years after relentless bullying from upper management, they laughed when I picked up my final check.”
A third simply pointed out, “Her reaction to you quitting was instant validation that it was the right move.”
