We’ve all quit jobs, but here’s a first: this boss actually refuses an employee’s resignation.
That’s what happened in this post on the Antiwork subreddit, where u/WorthlessFloor recounted a crazy story.
Their post was titled “Tried to quit my job and they said no.” And here was the bosses response:
Crazy right? Everyone else thought so too — how could your boss refuse to let you resign?
Commenters were also surprised, but had some advice.
The post also went viral on Twitter, with more than 6 million views.
Well, u/WorthlessFloor provided us with an update on exactly how their boss refused to accept their resignation.
After consulting with a lawyer, they sent their boss this message:
And their very stubborn boss responded with this, basically threatening to blackball them.
This also dumbfounded commenters, who couldn’t believe that a boss would want to keep an employee who actively didn’t want to work for them.
We don’t know how it ended, but u/WorthlessFloor did give us one more hilarious update to their boss refusing to accept their resignation. A few days ago, they received this email from their employer:
Guess they’re really trying to sweet-talk them into staying! Anyway, hard to believe but it’s true: a boss refuses an employee’s resignation. There’s truly a first time for everything.
