Outside of IT
I walked from two non-IT jobs. On one, I was (I thought) the number three man in the company. One day a customer came in and asked me about a business change I didn't know about. It turned out to be true. The second time a customer told me about a major change and the one owner had not told me or his partner yet, I knew it was time for me to go. I was out of there in 48 hours.
The other job instead of using the most recent quarters numbers for our review, we were told to go back two quarters, to when the whole place was being torn apart for remodeling. When we needed to close for half a day because the fumes put three employees in the ER. What a surprise, our numbers sucked, no raises, written warnings on performance. My resume was out the next day.
