There’s no juicier drama than watching an employee who’s been pushed a bit too far and is right on the edge of quitting their job for good.
If you’ve ever worked in retail or food service, you’ve probably seen someone quit with dramatic flair at least once. Maybe the closer found out they were going to be closing alone, so they tossed their keys to the GM and did donuts in the parking lot for a while before driving home. Or perhaps a worker who has no patience got saddled with the regular who complains about every little thing, and decided it’d be more fun to tell off the sass master rather than hold onto their minimum wage job. While it’s going down, everyone else gets to watch it unfold, which is truly a team-building exercise in its own rite. There’s nothing that brings the other employees together like watching one of their own live out the dream with dramatic flair.
