    Many years ago, a woman that worked at the same place, just didn’t turn up one day. I think they (the closest thing we had to HR at the time) let this slide for a week, then called her. She just said “Oh, I didn’t work to work there any more”.

    I don’t think they pursued it any further and let it at that.

      I just don’t understand that mentality. You burn a bridge, when you could just send an email or something saying you quit and keep the possibility of coming back sometime open. Or if your boss actually liked you, you could have gotten a recommendation, but instead decided to make their life suck.

      Just send an email saying you quit, it’s really not that hard.

        You burn a bridge

        Yeah, that’s kind of the point

        keep the possibility of coming back sometime open

        If I wanted to work there I wouldn’t be quitting, especially not just dipping out

        Or if your boss actually liked you, you could have gotten a recommendation

        Usually people doing this aren’t in that situation, being on good terms with someone usually means you don’t just vanish on them

        instead decided to make their life suck.

        The vast majority of times this is, again, the point

          You do you, but a little professionalism goes a long way. Maybe that manager moves to another org that you want to apply at, and they reject you because of how you acted the last time. Or maybe they just tell someone at the new org how you left.

          Doing this has zero benefits to you, sending an email takes almost zero effort and might have some benefit for you. The rational thing is to send the email.

            Good, I don’t have to work with them again, win for me

            Doing this has zero benefits to you

            Catharsis comes to mind, on top of the schadenfreude

            sending an email takes almost zero effort

            Yeah, and thats part of why not doing it sends a point

            If your workers hate working for you so much they won’t even send an email then you should evaluate your management and work culture, yakno?
