We’ve all worked ajobwe truly and deeplydespised, but generally, whatever peeves us isn’t so widespread the entire workforce decides that it’s time to leave. However, some managers do seem to do their best to create working environments so terrible that not a single employee wants to stay around.

Not quite everyone, but the newly-appointed Head of IT announced that everyone in the section would have to re-apply for their jobs. Nine-tenths of the people affected decided that if they had to jump through all the hoops - update their CVS, complete application forms and go through interviews - then they might as well try for better-paid and more interesting jobs than they currently had. Most of them did so very successfully and the new Head of IT found himself left with a rump of poorly-motivated employees who had not kept up with developments in their field, were probably the very ones he’d intended to get rid of and certainly were not up to the job of filling in for their former colleagues. He didn’t last very long….

The owner of the store made all of us sign a contract that we would neever change the date of the food, sush as tomatos. onions, lettuce etc. That was good, potentially keeping food poisoning from hitting the store, After we had all signed she then anounced that she would fire any body NOT changing the dates because it was a huge expense and waste to throw out out-of-date food. Within a week every last crew member had found another job and quit,

When I got fired from a building supply warehouse Everyone else quit! I was the girl in the one girl office and there were 3 other men in the office as well as 3 salesmen that quit. That left the boss all alone!! The reason I was fired was because I had moved in with my boyfriend. I guess this went against his puritan values. It felt really good ti have the support of all my coworkers!! I had a job the next week that payed twice as much!

They hired a new manager to the department. I was #5 of 8 people. 3 people transferred to other departments and 5 quit outright, before the manager was removed. I was the only one to give an exit interview. I told them about the scheduling mistakes, ordering mistakes, lack of needed items and lack of health accommodations. they fired her 2 weeks after I left.

Just 3 weeks ago, a major cross channel ferry company in the UK called all 800 employees to an emergency Zoom meeting and fired them all with immediate effect and gave them 15 minutes to gather their belongings and disembark the ferries. As they were disembarking their replacements were boarding to begin their training and all their ferry services were cancelled immediately. The new foreign workers were being hired because they were willing to work for a fraction of the salary of the UK workers. As far as I know they have still to date not resumed their regular ferry services. That company is losing money whilst the other 2 ferry services are making a k*****g taking on all the passengers from the other company.

I’ve never seen everyone quit at once, nor everyone completely, but I’ve seen close.27 out of 30 people quit within the same month, after the company informed them they would be closing our site, and moving everyone to another site, a long way away, and there was no additional pay or travel allowance.The 3 who stayed (I was one) were union members, and we got a proper severance. The union then chased up the 27 others, offered them a one-off membership, and fought for them too. It ended up scheduled to go to court. A few weeks before the hearing, they also got severance packages, but not as generous as the 3 of us who didn’t quit first. The head office HR person got sacked over that, as she knowingly let management believe it was OK. Mind you, any half decent manager would have clicked that it’s not that easy.On another occasion, I saw a whole department turn over in under 6 months, and the subsequent people nearly had another 100% turnover within a year. HR had metrics, where acceptable turnover was 12%. That is, they expected to have 12 out of 100 people quit. Some departments had 8–10 people, who had been there for years. Their metrics were awesome. But accounts, under “the dragon” - they had a rating of over 100%. That was not a good thing.And one last one. I lasted 6 months in a job after I worked out what the manager was like. I would have left sooner, but I wanted to find a decent job, not a gap-filler. Within 12 months, more than half the company’s employees left - including every single state manager, and all but one sales guy - the one who stayed was his nephew. The parent company finally realised, but it was too late. For several years myself and all the other state managers got phone calls asking us to come back. We all declined, the damage was done.

After a few years of struggling, my previous company decided to bring in a new CEO in an attempt to turn things around. Shortly after that, the layoffs and extensive restructuring began which sucked, but it happens. Morale slowly began to lower after this which obviously caused some people to quit as well.And then October of 2020 came. My company decided in all of its wisdom, to make some significant policy changes in the middle of the pandemic which made things more difficult for our customers and for the next few months we went into full damage control mode. We lost some big accounts and it became quite clear early on that these changes were not fully thought out and that it did more harm than good, however, we were instructed to carry on and continue to enforce these customer unfriendly policies.Over the next year, people would leave in groups, there one day, gone the next. There were so many that they stopped putting out departure notices, even for the people that spent many years at the company. The culture was awful, our customer feedback was awful, and our glorious CEO announced his retirement right in the middle of all of this but the damage had already been done. People were being stretched out, over worked, and and under appreciated for too long.I resigned last December after almost 15 years and now that the dust has settled, I am much happier with my new employer.

Not an event but a single person leaving. The problem with fast food restaurants is they suck. Even the managers hate being there and the working conditions are awful. At our particular store, we only were staying cause someone else was staying. Alex and John were staying cause I was staying. Theressa was staying because Alex was staying. Lily was staying cause Theressa was staying. And so on and so forth for the entire staff. I was tired of working there and finally got a job offer somewhere else. I put in my notice and instantly a chain reaction kicked in. Alex put his notice in, then Theressa, then Lily, and so on until even the managers left.

I worked for a small company that boasted profit sharing as an important and awesome benefit. The employees were accustomed to receiving a profit sharing bonus of anywhere from $5k-$10 at the end of the fiscal year. One year the company decided to reinvest all the profits back into the business and the employees received a check for around $300. Many of them quit.

Everyone didn’t quit, but a good number of people left due to poor management, lack of direction from the supervisor, little to no support, workloads that were excessively high with unreachable expectations. You can also add salaries that were not commensurate with other agencies for the same job, and a poor work/life balance. Employees need to feel supported, heard, and appreciated. Workloads need to be manageable. Expectations need to be realistic. Burn out is the number one reason people leave. And it’s generally due to all of the things I’ve listed.

You asked, “What event at your workplace caused everyone to quit?”.Our company told everybody that their jobs were moving to Florida - the housing was cheaper and the company was getting huge tax incentives.The employees decided that uprooting their lives was not worth moving from a state with low taxes (#11) and excellent education and public services, to a state with slightly lower taxes (#6), but terrible education and weeping infrastructure. Especially so their bosses - who were not moving – could get bigger bonuses.The administrative assistants were not offered the opportunity to move. Their jobs were terminated. They were to, move themselves, and reapply for their jobs in Florida.Some said “no” but to avoid getting fired immediately, most said “yes” which bought them time to retire or get new jobs. In some business units, it is expected only 25% will stay with the company - all that knowledge and experience is lost forever.The company is Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

For at least two months our employer had to go to a local downtown bank to borrow enough money to make payroll. This was a small town with only one or two banks . You know our employer did not get a good rate. We had to volunteer to take cuts to our already low paychecks. It was not the kind of place where people could just quit. But everyone who could sent out letters and resumes. Within eighteen months everyone who could find something better was gone. Including me and my spouse. Eventually, the outfit did shut down.BTW, nothing against small town banks. They, more than many, must be careful about loaning money.

The company announced they were closing the operations center within 6 to 9 months and transferring all the work to another state. Within three to four weeks there was only a skeleton crew of people still working and a fairly large number of temporary workers from a temporary staffing agency had to be hired. The irony is that the company never intended on running people off. Most employees were going to be offered jobs in the new state, and those that weren’t, or didn’t take the new job, had plenty of time to get a new job. But about 90% of the workforce left like rats leaving a sinking ship.

I was an early childhood educator and I worked at my first job for five years. The first three years were amazing. We had a wonderful director who truly cared about her staff, the children and their parents. She was extremely professional and very hard-working.Then, she informed all of us that she would be leaving at the end of the year. We were all unhappy about it because she was doing a great job. She assured us that she would find the appropriate person to replace her. To make a long story short, the woman that she decided to hire did an excellent job conning her into believing that she was something that she was not.This woman was a horrible director and she was not a good person. We all discovered this a few months into her having started her job as director. The worst issues were that she was a liar and that she took credit for any effort or idea that any staff member had.After the first year working with this woman, the majority of us were getting frequent headaches and migraines. Another interesting fact is that in those first three years where things were going well, within a few months, we all ended up having our periods at approximately the same time. We were all in sync and it was very bizarre. Shortly after this new director started working in our agency, we noticed that all of our periods went haywire.We were all unhappy with what was taking place but being the kind of people that we were, we wanted to give this director the benefit of the doubt. We thought that it might be largely attributed to the fact that it was her first year at this job. We stuck it out another year in the hopes that things would improve, but as our second year with her was coming to an end, five out of eight core staff members (including myself) couldn’t take it anymore and we all gave our notice.Our agency had a phenomenal reputation and this woman was driving it into the ground. We couldn’t leave fast enough as we were all miserable. I was prepared to even take a pay cut if I had to if it would give me back my mental health.For anyone who had their doubts about how this woman would react to us leaving, she really outdid herself. She wanted to “show her appreciation” for our years of dedication in our jobs so she informed us that we would all be receiving a gift card in the amount of $10 for each year of service! Yes, you read this correctly. TEN DOLLARS for each year that we taught in this agency. Some of my colleagues got a $10 or $20 gift card while I was one of the fortunate ones - I got a $50 gift card!In all honesty, none of us were expecting any kind of gift or acknowledgement for our efforts and I think it would have been better had she given us nothing. It was very insulting! None of us had any regrets about leaving and we all found other jobs pretty quickly. Over a period of time, this woman was eventually forced out of this daycare for the many inappropriate things she had done.

I was working as employee communication manager in the HR department of a major newspaper company. Our VP involved us in setting strategy, then left us alone to accomplish the strategy while touching base with us monthly and being available to run interference with his peers when needed. We managers had frequent and direct contact with company leaders.Then the company wanted to break a union. They promoted our VP, who was also an engineer, into the VP Production job and filled the VP HR role with a former labor negotiator from a tiny newspaper with no people management experience. At our first staff meeting, the new VP told us how long he expected us to stay at our desks each night so he would look good to other senior leaders, regardless of whether our work was done. He told us we were to not take any initiative to handle issues that came up but just to do as he told us. He announced that he would not share with us information about where the company was heading that he learned during leadership meetings, but we were to tell him anything we learned that he might find useful. We were no longer allowed to contact senior leaders directly but to go through him for everything.People started leaving immediately, including the two people who reported to me. Because the VP had also put a freeze on hiring, I ended up doing both of their jobs, which involved very visible tasks like getting out two weekly newsletters, aa monthly magazine, managing Town Hall meetings, etc. When it came time for my annual review, I got a 0% increase because I had not been able to fulfill all my own more strategic, but less visible, responsibilities while doing two other people’s jobs. That was the final straw that led to my leaving.I stayed in touch with old friends in the department. Within one year every single person working in the HR department the day the new VP arrived had left the company except for two secretaries who transferred into new departments. Within 3 years, he had broken two unions and was retired with a ton of company stock. His replacement was much more like our original VP, with the result that he had to fire most of the staff because they didn’t know how to take initiative and many had no qualifications for their jobs (e.g., the employment manager had come from a telephone sales job at the newspaper). So within three years there was 100% turnover in the same department—twice.

We didn’t all quit per se, but the end result was the same.Let me explain: Back in the ‘90s, before the internet was really a thing, I worked for a high-tech company that was putting out a medical series on CD-Rom for your computer. Cancer, Breastfeeding, Amputee… if you wanted to know about this stuff you wanted a shiny disc to put into your computer.We had an amazing team. I was the medical illustrator, but we had 3D animators, regular animators, a team of developers, etc. For the time we were cutting edge. We worked out asses off (one guy slept under his desk), we stayed late, worked weekends, etc. Most of us were in our 20s and when a product went to gold (meaning it was done testing and was about the be manufactured), we would party hard at someone’s house. We were like a family. Sadly, we were never given a dedicated sales team and so the product was never marketed properly. One year after I joined, we were called into a meeting and told that the line was being discontinued…BUT (I like big buts and I cannot lie)… A successful multimedia company from Toronto was buying the product, they loved the team and they were willing to keep us together!BUT (okay, now I’m not so fond of buts)… They were based in Toronto and they would really prefer that all 18 of us relocate to that city (I guess I should mention that we lived in Ottawa, approximately 400km away). They wanted to interview all of us and they promised that they were seriously considering leasing office space in our hometown if we all agreed to stick together.Here’s the thing… I already mentioned that we were tight. Family-tight. Like, “Do you need a massage?” tight. Not sexual. Close. We truly loved one another. Had this new company just let us do what we had already been doing… status quo… just hang a new shingle on the door… then… aside for the day we’d take moving our coffee cups and sleeping bags to a new address… we were ready to go. Here’s the thing. The new owners sent us our new offers, and to a man/woman, they offered us 10% LESS than what we HAD been making.Did they think we wouldn’t discuss this with each other?!

We got a new administrator and DNS (director of nursing services) at the same time, they arrived at the same time supposedly to clean things up, which was weird as we were #2 after the private Jewish facility. Turnover for those positions are generally 18 months as we are the smallest facility the owners have so a training facility for new administrators who then get transferred to more challenging facilities making room for another new one. The morning meeting went from discussing patients coming and going to picking on a department head to drive them to quit. All the department heads, most of the nursing staff and quite a few others quit without being replaced when the two left. Turns out the DNS was being hidden as she was the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit and the administrator was also being hidden for verbally abusing patients and families. Don’t know where they went but was happy to see them go.

So it wasn’t a singular event so to speak that cleaned house, rather a single manager whose behavior was incredibly unbecoming of anyone in a professional environment much less as a manager.This was in a retail, front-end customer service/ sales position. This guy was a loose cannon on his best day, and entirely insufferable on a normal day…and that’s if you were a guy. The women had to endure relentless sexual advances, innuendos and contact. Now mind you, there wasn’t a single person that I worked with who didn’t complain to upper management about his behavior. Several women filed sexual harassment grievances against him, the guys were filing hostile workplace and retaliation grievances against him…all which fell on deaf ears. I don’t know what kind of backwards, criminal company I was working for or how they managed to dodge every single grievance and allowed him to maintain his posting and manager status.Also incredibly important to note: this didn’t happen years and years ago, no this happened between November 2021 and January 2022…at a company that claims inclusiveness and intolerance towards inappropriate behavior. So in January myself and 20 of the 22 employees quit over the course of a week. The nasty ass manager and the man protecting him were the only people left. That company didn’t recover, so lessons to learn…protecting one person is not worth it.

In the early 1980’s, during college; one job I held was as a banquet waitress at a Marriott. Customers came to our hotel, and planned weddings, bar mitzvahs, ski group trips…. When I began, the 15% added to each plate as a gratuity got distributed equally among the waitstaff who worked the event. In addition we received the standard sub $2 hourly wage for tipped employees. We had regular classes in proper soup service, fish deboning, etc…got along well as a group- having each others backs. We worked hard, and were compensated well.Coming down from corporate, someone got the ‘great idea’ to pay the banquet wait staff a flat wage of $5 an hour, and pocket that 15% added on gratuity. Mass exodus of staff occurred. I was one of the stragglers, who held on till I could find a better position (needed the money for school,) and I saw the banquet manager hiring warm bodies while out for a drink at the local bar after a shift. Begging people to work a breakfast the next morning. Morale went to zero. Quality of service had the same trajectory.

I left a company just in time. I managed a large hi-fi store in Hollywood, Federated, in 1975. I had 30 salespeople and most were former mangers of competitive chains. They were making about $30,000/year or more (good money for 1975). The company decided on a very large national expansion project and reduced wages to near minimum wage plus a minimal commission structure. All of the “heavies” left. The company survived for a couple of years and then folded. What they did to their vendors was similar to super market tactics (net 90 payment, paying for shelf space, etc. but without enough volume to make it worthwhile. The better vendors left as soon as they could, before the company went chapter 11.

Kinda funny its happening right now at my job. The entire night crew is quitting because of extremely poor management and extremely low work effort from the shift before us and low pay. For me its because they lied about what they were paying me to manipulate me into the night position.

I’ve yet to have an event where everyone quit but I have witnessed events at the workplace that caused a people to walkout. -We had two employees walkout after DM decide to give a manager position to someone who was totally unqualified instead the most deserving. -We had another event where a few people quit because a beloved employee was let go. I chose to stay as the truth eventually came out that the employee was also stealing product and cash. -The funniest one, to me at least was watching at least a dozen employees to walk out due to a dress code change from business casual (khakis and polos) to more businedd (shirts and ties for men and more professional attire for women)

Employer wanted to reduce number of employees but wasn’t allowed to fire them. Offered huge compensation event for everyone who leaves. Unfortunately no maximum was set, so a whole group left the company asap ($$$$$$) and came back as external consultants some months later.

Well there are some really toxic workplaces I’ve had the misfortune to work at in my life and I quit in desperation but I was the only one — except one. I worked for a non-profit Arts organization which was in a severe financial situation due to a long term down turn in the the economy. 90% of the staff were extremely unhappy with the founder and Artistic Director who over the course of about 10 years earned a horrible reputation in the arts community. He treated people with contempt and many quit over the years. We went to the Board of Directors and they did absolutely nothing and alienated the staff and allowed this Machievalian to get away with abusive and destructive behaviour. Over the course of about 3 months the Executive Director and other key management people were fired (one of which sued and won a financial payout) and the Board Chair did nothing to mitigate the financial situation or direct the remaining staff. I worked with the finance manager and when there was absolutely no cash or credit to pay the employees and they were down to their last reserves most of the staff quit and walked out and we got paid with the last remaining scrap of financing there was. A responsible organization would have laid off staff — not wait until the end of money was being cut off and force us to quit which is what happened. So the Board was stuck with a hated and completely disgraced Artistic Director who didn’t give a damn about anyone except himself and a Board Chair who drove the organization in the ground and had a huge disaster on his hands of his own making and a massive debt with no credit available. What a dumpster fire! So glad I did much better for myself after that.

Over the last decade the turnover at my employer has skyrocketed. I have heard extremly ignorant statements during the few visits from the “higher ups.” Most are generalizations like the entire new generation is lazy. And some go as far as saying insane statements like more overall work should take less time. Basically the culture has swayed in the direction of some dominanting warlord from the middle ages. So people quit rather quickly. That style of culture forces middle management into some understaffed predicaments, resulting in excessive mandatory overtime. And our managers just cannot keep new hires. It is really toxic. Hoping for some rationality to return. When I was hired the job was much more acceptable. And it would be nice to retire along with the few work friends that remain.

A new management staff at the federal agency where I worked caused every employee who was eligible to retire instantly.

An improper Works Manager! Yes, that’s what prompted all 5 of the GETs (Graduate Engineer Trainees) quit within a span of 6 months. Let’s call this hulking impolite man AKC because those were his initials. He would always be cynical about ‘today’s privileged generation' who, in his view, didn’t have the intelligence or the vision to study engineering like they did in ‘his' times. This man had a way with the labour unions so that they turned belligerent while working shifts with and under the fresh incumbents. They would throw disrespectful remarks and more so at me, considering I was the only female among nearly 300 men. The man (Works Manager) would turn up for work in his trademark ludicrously scarlet pullover that make his bulk look like a tractor more than a human being. He would throw acerbic remarks aimed at all of us, especially at one of my friends, who he had somehow targeted the worse of all. He would berate us in front of the chargehands and the workers and in front of literally everyone. We all lived 35– 40 Km away from the works and would have to take the local trains to be back to our hostels. And the man always found ways to stop us from catching the intended train, so that we had to take the next one or the next one. This was not only exhausting, it was quite unsafe for me as a girl too. The ladies' compartments generally remained empty at such times. The general ones would be too stifling because of all the hordes of men who loved groping around in the crowd The situation was really really bad and thankfully we all left for better jobs and are better settled now, nearly 15 years later.

The company president hiring his wife’s unemployed best friend to run operations. We were a market research firm. She’s been the manager of children’s clothing at a department store. All the managers were gone in a month or two.

When the owner of the store sold the store, it became a nightmare. We went from close knit family environment to a cold, distant, and judgmental environment, within a few months the entire staff that was there, when it was sold had quit. Our vacations we acquired were gone, they even lowered everyone’s pay, and the workload was doubled. They were very unreasonable about everything, they accused us for everything that went wrong, even if you were robbed, they expected you to finish the shift, without calling a relief in. Everyone had quit within the first few months, I stayed on for 8 more years, until I quit when I moved.

Not everyone but a huge chunk of workers. My first job at a McDs had a General Manager who was taken out to eat at the local Hardee’s where she was informed she was fired. The GM was well-liked so when she went to work for the just opening a new store Wendy’s a good portion of Mcds workers went with her as they felt corporate had done her dirty.

I worked at Spaghetti Warehouse in Oklahoma City in 2015 as a server. One day, I was scheduled to come in as a bartender in training. Some of the servers got word that they were going to shut down and not tell any of the workers. They were just going to post a sign saying they were permanently closed. Well, word spread very quickly, thanks to technology, and when none of the workers showed up to work the next morning, the restaurant was forced to shut its doors prematurely. Just to clarify, the managers were the ones keeping the staff in the dark. To this day, we don’t know who the leak was, and frankly, I don’t care. We were worked to death. Most of us pulled double shifts on a nearly daily basis.

A company I was working for sold off a business unit (the one I was in), including all the employees in it. I had no idea employees could be part of a “sale”, but it is what it is. Within a couple months, the new company “adjusted” everyone’s titles, eliminating two levels of their technical career track. Everyone (yes, everyone) within those two levels were shifted down to the next available level. Of course, pay scales were considerably less once you were dropped one and two levels down. As a result, virtually all of those employees received less than 1% pay raise (if they got anything) because they were already at the top of the range for their adjusted title. But the…

I was in an insurance office, I was 1 of 4 employees (plus 2 admin). Over the next year, a total of 29 more were hired, for a total of 33 in the office at one time. The company had to move us twice into bigger offices in order to accommodate everyone . Near the middle of the third year there, I was only 1 of 2 left (and 1 admin- 1 quit), in an office that could hold 40. The one that was still there was only because he had a hard time finding another job because he had burnt so many bridges and I had already turned in my 2 weeks. The management had changed 5 times and each time the company brought in someone greener than the one who quit. Management pay sucked and they were hiring anyone who would take the job as none of us office people would. The company ended up closing that entire office in a greater city area of over 1 million people because of upper management inability to understand what the public wanted. It went from the fastest growing insurance company in the area to totally losing it’s only office because it’s market share tanked to the bottom, all in 3 years.

It depends on the individual and the specific situation. However, some things that could cause employees to quit their jobs include: 1. Poor management - If management is ineffective or doesn’t care about the employees, they may decide to leave in order to find a more positive working environment. 2. Lack of communication - If there isn’t enough communication between management and the employees, it can cause tensions to build and eventually lead to quitting. 3. Unfair treatment - If employees are being treated unfairly or unfairly judged, they may decide that it’s not worth it and resign instead. 4. Inequality in the workplace - If there is a lot of inequality between employees, it can create a hostile work environment and lead to quitting.

I know this isn’t exactly what you are asking but, here it is. Bad leadership. I saw an entire class of airmen come and go because of bad leadership. I was leaving too until I got orders out of there. Treat people badly and they won’t stay. Wasted tax dollars, too. Trained and then run off.

I have never worked anywhere where everyone quit simultaneously for the same reason. I did read in the news recently that all the staff quit their job at a Burger King restaurant in the US because they all found better paying jobs.

The closest I got to that, was Covid-19. It led the company to lay off their Accounts Receivable department, myself included, and only the newest employees were called back. So much for company loyalty.
