number 10 reporter quits on live TV
and that is why personally I cannot be
part of network funded by the Russian
government that whitewashes the actions
of Putin sometimes you have to take a
stand for what you believe in Liz Wahl
was a reporter for RT America a Russian
supported news network based in
Washington DC while working there she
felt the network was slanting stories to
promote Russian propaganda in 2014
controversial reporting about the
Crimean crisis pushed wall over the edge
and she resigned from her position
during a live broadcast with an
emotional speech I’m proud to be an
American and believe in disseminating
the truth and that is why after this
newscast I’m resigning as she walked
away from her desk for the final time
wall walked into a media storm with some
people questioning of her resignation
was actually American propaganda leaving
the reporter to weather the criticisms
on her own terms the world wouldn’t know
what the station is about and I athlete
morally I felt like I had to say the
truth number 9 Mo’s managers dance
routine working in the restaurant
industry can really test ones patience
one anonymous restaurant manager showed
that he completely lost his with this
unique resignation armed with two backup
dancers and Vanilla Ice’s signature hit
Ice Ice Baby
the manager leaped up on the counter
[Music]
after ripping off his shirt to reveal I
quit on his chest he and his partners
kicked off a choreographed dance routine
the manager brought the restaurant to a
standstill with customers and employees
left with nothing to do but laugh and
film it all with over 600,000 views this
video may become more recognizable than
the restaurant chain itself number eight
writing a novella Ernest Hemingway was
one of the most important writers of the
20th century Ernest Hemingway may have
been a Pulitzer Prize winning writer but
he had issues at work like the rest of
us early in his career he signed a
contract to write for publishing company
boney and liver right however things
weren’t hunky-dory his BNL contract
would be terminated if one of his next
three works was rejected so Hemingway
allegedly wrote torrents of spring to
accomplish just that the novella
satirized writers had a crazy romantic
plotline and most importantly was denied
weeks after it was submitted while most
writers try to avoid rejection
Hemingway’s swift break with his
publisher may have led us to classics
like Old Man and the sea

number seven during a Superbowl
commercial if you want to make sure your
boss knows you’re quitting then why not
go with one of the most-watched events
in the u.s. Queens native Gwen Deane was
working as an HVAC technician while
pursuing her dreams of becoming a
full-time puppeteer after spotting a
godaddy.com ad about puppeteers quitting
their jobs
she knew her time had come during Super
Bowl xlviii she starred in a short
commercial with John Turturro
wherein she announced her resignation hi
Ted I quit
she just quit her job the spot was so
well received a Dean’s former boss

naked YouTube video you don’t need
clothes to quit your job joy Mukerji
decided to leave his position at a
communications company by sending in an
exposing video it begins with an
imitation Star Wars credit scroll that
lists his reasons for quitting and is
followed by a list of the co-workers he
thought about sleeping with the video
then transitions to joy dancing naked in
front of a green screen thankfully a
picture of a man prevents us from seeing
too much of Joy’s joy and the video
closes with an offer of his
special-effects services to George Lucas
well based on the video quality we hope
joy sent his resume elsewhere
number five music video at the office
[Music]
the only thing better than quitting your
job is going viral while doing it Marina

the background

went viral
getting over 11 million views and
netting her job offers from people like
Queen Latifah if you’re interested she

she has better reasons to dance nowadays
[Applause]
I was gonna go to my parents basement
number for marching out with a band I’m
going to go in and quit right now with
the help of my bandmates in the what
Shear Brigade working at a hotel isn’t
for everyone but for Joey DeFrancesco it
was unbearable during his time working
at a Rhode Island hotel he attempted to
start a union to make conditions better
for employees but was met with
resistance in 2011 he fought back with
the power of music DeFrancesco led the
marching band wet cheer into the hotel
and right up to his manager he then
dropped his resignation letter at his
managers feet and happily marched away
[Music]
after the video went viral he continued
to fight for better working conditions
for his former coworkers and what cheer
continued to bring sweet music wherever
it’s needed
[Music]
number three
Trump Twitter blackout let me talk about
Twitter I think that maybe I wouldn’t be
here if it wasn’t for Twitter sometimes
actions can speak louder than 140 or
even 280 characters in 2017 president
Donald Trump’s Twitter account seemingly
vanished from the website for 11 minutes
given that the social media platform is
the controversial president’s primary
method of communicating with the
American people it didn’t take long for
other users to notice and tweet out
their concern or relief about the
missing account silly juvenile behavior
another level that person could have
potentially posted fake tweets could
have posted threatening comments when
the account returned Twitter released a
statement saying that the incident
occurred due to human error
but later revealed that the account was
deactivated by a twitter customer
service employee who wanted to make a
statement on their last day at work
based on the response we’d say they were
successful
what if someone who had hacked in and we
had sort of a war of the worlds’
situation where he said we’re nuking
North Korea now people would panic and
riot in the streets number two quitting
live for cannabis now everything you
heard is why I the actual owner of the
Alaska cannabis club will be dedicating
all of my energy toward fighting for
freedom and fairness legalizing
marijuana is a topic still debated in
America but one reporter made her stance
clear with her resignation
Charlo Greene was reporting 4k TV a
alaska in 2014 when they aired a story
about the local Alaskan cannabis club at
the end of the segment green live on the
air admitted that she owned the club
before giving an r-rated resignation not
that I have a choice but good I quit
as you can imagine her co-anchor was
left flustered in the wake of the blunt
announcement a few years later despite
facing some legal troubles Green
launched a youtube series called
the weed show where she focuses on
advocacy and education about marijuana
with as much colorful language as she
wants
come through and share what happened
because it’s very very real
number one sliding out of a plane
this is 39 year old Steven Slater
leaving a New York police station Monday
he was picked up for what some are
calling a flight attendant f-bomb
meltdown most people hope to never see
an airplanes emergency slide but it was
the perfect route for flight attendant
Steven Slater to resign in 2010 a
passenger allegedly hits later with some
luggage as they removed it from the
overhead compartment
this incident combined with some outside
stress resulted in Slater taking to the
plane intercom screaming I’ve had it
grabbing two beers and finally exiting
via the emergency slide do you think if
perhaps you hadn’t been drinking that
day you wouldn’t have acted like this no
I think it was it was time to go whether
whether I would have left in such a
spectacular fashion I certainly don’t
have it I don’t know he was later
arrested and sentenced to a year of
probation and a ten thousand dollar fine
but more than that shortly after the
incident
Slater story became a part of pop
culture and may go down as the most
insane way anyone has ever quit a job
