Quitting a job. It's not easy, Marley. Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Sometimes it takes a nice resignation letter. You're pass it
on to the boss and then you get a couple
of weeks off and we have amazing. You have amazing
to your boss, or you go to h or whatever,
which is always the key.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Whichever the process is. But no gen z are using
a different method these days.

Take a listen, buckle up, because we've got some real
life deals of job quitting antics that leave you in stitches.
Gone other days of stuffy resignation emails. Today's tech savvy
generation is flipping the script on traditional farewells. They're saying
sayonara in style, and it's all about making waves on
social media. As the saying goes, you only live once,

(00:41):
and they're seizing the moment like never before. But the
new generation is a step forward when it comes to
quitting a job. Many these days are resigning on TikTok
and the trend is called quit talk.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yes, certainly getting on tick talking, saying see ya.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
So before the boss even knows that they're unhappy. There's
no formal letter, there's no meeting or hr appointment. They're
just resigning on social media crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
We want to know this morning, and how have you
quit your job? Lenny's in Brown's Planes today. Lenny, how
are you going?

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I'm good, I'm great.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Thanks, that's the way. How did you quit your job?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Well, this one in particular, I was working at this
humdinger of a cafe at New Farm of a nighttime.
I'd already had a day job. Kids were young, we
needed the money, and so so my friend said to me, looks,
you know, I can get you this night work. And
I went, great, fantastic, that's great. So started working there.

(01:43):
It was a very busy little cafe. This kitchen is
very small. I'm washing up, that was my job, washing up,
cleaning up, and then you know d forever throwing the
hot you know, pans into the scene and I actually
burnt my arm a couple of times from them. And anyway,
so it got to the end of the night, everyone

(02:04):
has left and it's like two o'clock in the morning
and I'm mopping the floor and the owner sitting at
the bar and he turns around and he says to me,
will you hurry up? And I just looked at him
and I just said, well, mate, if you got off
your fat backside and gave us a hand. I said,
we would be out of here by now and anyway,

(02:26):
and he goes, that's it, leave, you know. And I
looked at him because back in the day, you got
paid by cash at the end of the night. And
you know what he did. He threw the money onto
the floor. Oh yeah, he threw my pay onto the floor.
And I looked at him, and I looked at the money,

(02:48):
and my pride would not let me pick it up.
And then I thought I got kids to feed. So
I looked at him, picked up my money, and I said,
good riddance, mate, see you later. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, what anent. That's how I know. That's better than
a reality.

Speaker 5 (03:08):

Speaker 5 (03:18):

Speaker 1 (03:50):
