Quitting your job can be scary. Many of us were raised not to take things for granted and to keep pushing through even if something isn't really working out. But that notion is what often allows employers to mistreat their staff in the first place — they know they can abuse people who idolize their position way too much.
This mentality, however, appears to be losing its prevalence. In August, 4.3 million Americans handed their bosses their resignations. The quits rate, which is measured against total employment, rose to 2.9% that month, according to the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.
Social media reflects this phenomenon quite well. Scholar Helana Darwin recently asked Twitter users to share their stories of quitting their jobs to help her come to terms with her own choices. Here are some of the replies. Let them be a warning to all of you toxic managers out there.

Genius management style actual. Short staffed = alienate remaining employees.
