Just stop showing up? Man, I hated when people did that because then I had to work twice as hard because someone didn't show. It depends on the job you are doing, I suppose. But I have only left 3 jobs when I was younger. The first one I was fired, quite unfairly. The second one the company kind of died out and they didn't need but a few employees so they just kept their management team to do all the work and everyone else got laid off. And the third I had a new better job that suited my future career so I put in a 2 weeks and explained to them I was moving on. Hopefully I never have to go through any of that again, I hate leaving somewhere I've invested so much time and energy into. Good thing where I work is probably where I will stay for awhile...after I get my nursing license and all that goodness.
