A 17-year-old teenager quit his job at Walmart by announcing it over the store's intercom [thisisinsider.com] saying that nobody should work there -- ever. A big motivation for quitting was that employees are treated poorly there [edmontonjournal.com].

Jackson Racicot, who is 17, quit the Walmart in Grande Prairie, Alberta. He posted a video of his announcement on Facebook on December 6, and it's since gone viral. In the video, he said the store's management lied to employees and insulted them and unfairly cut his pay.

At the end, you can hear people clapping. Racicot said he left through the fire exit.

Racicot told the Edmonton Journal that he had already handed in the paperwork to leave and secured another job before his viral exit.
