I can't condone it, but quitting my job without notice. I've always put authority figures on a pedestal; no matter what they said or did to me, they were always right and something was wrong with me. Even if I didn't like or agree with them, I would put my head down and keep my mouth shut. My mom is the same way. I would always threaten to say or do something (confront them, file a complaint, quit, etc.), but never actually do it. After a year of being targeted by my manager, I finally walked (and immediately sent a detailed email to her direct boss) Now I have some of the most AMAZING managers, while she can't keep employees to save her life
