Hmmm. Interesting. I don't mean to be rude but this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also of you can't find anything, you could always apply online for apple customer service. You literally don't have to leave your house and most problems can be fixed with "Have you tried turning it off and on again"

He's being sarcastic.  He's saying how much money he's "making" now by getting rid of his source of income without a place to go to.

Not really. I wouldn't read into what Piotr said as that way. I've had several jobs. Each time I quit I found a better job. Either making more money or better benefits. I didn't always have another job lined up before I quit. So I don't see him being sarcastic. I think he is just saying something outside the box. Perspective is a funny thing. (Like right now) I could be reading into this too much and defending it how I see.

I'm with Rass on this one. A lot of people complain without making any move. If your current job sucks, or if you simply want something else, find a better one and quit. Decision to quit can be made before you actually quit, I do not recommend quitting before finding a new job first.

I get it now.  my bad.

Life experiences help with this. I thought you said somewhere you are in high school. Trust me there is a lot more real life experiences/knowledge/wisdom you will get. Personally I don't think I really started to understand things until my mid to late 20's. I thought I did before then but I really didn't.

Yea I always find a job before quitting and only once did I burn the bridge by quitting.  The funny thing is that company still called me back a year latter and offered an increased job position.

But yea, quit only when you have a new job lined up, and never burn the bridge cuz you can always boomerang back to old employers.

I finished my masters degree in project management and an old company called me back after seeing my new Linkedin status and offered me a project manager job.  Needless to say I am very happy I left the company on good terms.

i would have certainly preferred to complete the two weeks notice that i gave, but after being threatened i didnt feel like that was right anymore. hopefully the managers that arent idiots will see that and still give me a good rec.
