Is It Ever OK to Quit on the Spot?

For almost all of us, there comes a moment when we are tempted to quit our jobs on the spot.

A growing number are actually doing it, many employers say.

Some bosses blame young employees who feel frustrated by limited prospects or have little sense of attachment to their workplace. But employment experts say some older workers are quitting without notice as well. They feel overworked or unappreciated after years of laboring under pay cuts and expanded workloads imposed during the recession.
