Most dramatic quitting story?
I’ll go first. The intern sent ‘bye’ on #general and was never seen again.

Here to take ideas for my last day message
Boss was about to hand me a big new project and was very excited to grow my career. I came to the same conversation saying ‘I do have some news to share…’
Friend of mine got the hint that there are about to be layoffs. They ended up pre-empting it by resigning the same week 😂😂

They would have gotten more money if they get laid off right?
Yeah, they just felt finding a new role might be tougher if they are part of the laid off group

Had somebody who came into the company - just would not talk to anyone. Tried multiple times to meet with him, chill together, would just end up avoiding all our efforts
4 weeks in, just left without most of us figuring out why
Some clarity he had

Grabbed Joining bonus and flew
Someone I know joined a large AlcoBev company. Didnt receive their laptop for a week after joining. Their boss still wanted her to start delivering with no handover or laptop. Used their personal laptop and figured out things on their own. Boss told them I dont have time for you, figure out the shit on your own. Spoke to HR in a couple of weeks, took the boss on call, and resigned right there on the call.
Know of one colleague, she kept asking about future plans of all fellow interns on Slack Huddles during my internship. She kept denying having any plans whatsoever.
When I joined full time, she was nowhere to be found. Came to know that she went to the US to pursue her masters.
Hell, when we asked her via LinkedIn. She ghosted everyone.
The twist is that, we had asked her about her GRE scores, Safe/Ambitious schools, etc. and she denied knowing anything about it. It felt so out of possibility that she even got a US visa, atleast the way she was acting all clueless.
Later I came to know that apparently, her family was against going abroad and she planned all of this while saving money during Covid working remote.
Big brain moment and no one knew about it. Not even her family.

Bosses were telling the whole team off for some shit, threw in something like "please quit if you don't like working here". I did :D
They ended up still wanting me to work as a freelancer because they didn't have backup resources for my work. Did that for a bit while looking for next job.

Someone at Byjus, one of the best Product Leaders I have worked with, voluntarily resigned when he was asked to fire people in his team saying ," I don't need salary to survive anymore but lot of people in my team need it". I will resign and don't let my team go in this round

These were age old office phone rotation days to support folks. Must be 2010-12.
One guy was harassed before giving his relieving. He served the extra notice period for few months and finally left the company.
Later, company started getting 30-40k phone bill per month on one of the support phones.
On checking, they realised that they forgot to take the phone from the chap and he went to South Africa for next job and started using the phone for international calls.
Later our company folks were begging him to pay the bill and return the phone.

I was that intern last year
There was one huge disco ball hanging in our office just for the sake of aesthetics. On the last day, broke the chain and disco ball knocked down rolling and I never showed up again.

I was preparing for interviews and planning to leave the job. One day, i was seating in a meeting room and the chair broke in the midst of a meeting. My back got hurt. 2 days later I got an offer.
So, I made an issue about that incident and told the HR that it's a workplace accident and i want to leave immediately for operation otherwise I'll sue. The HR accepted my resignation and i was released immediately. Product manager was not happy though.
Joined the new company with an early joining bonus.

Went in to talk about quitting. My Lady boss made it about her and spoke for 2 hours straight. By the end of it not only did she accept the resignation, I got a low down on her career and personal life. The most awkward conversation ever
