Line 160:
* [[The Mole|Kim Philby]] was a [[Subversion]]. When the British found him, instead of arresting him, they baited him into requesting extract in a neutral city. He then got the [[Sarcasm Mode|sublimely attractive]] reward of spending the rest of his life in a dreary city amid the company of burly bodyguards who probably despised him. But he was allowed to retire.
* Aversion. It is quite common for Intelligence Officers to resign, not least wartime ones who are just doing "duration" service. Several of them leave on a quite friendly basis including remaining in touch with the old team in off hours (The SOE has its own [[Brotherhood of Funny Hats]]). Others find other careers, including [[John Le Carre|famous]] [[Ian Fleming|authors]]. It can be a problem if skills do not translate and there is a big hole in one's [[Backstory|reference]] though.
* In July 2023, [https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/14y780u/noquit_restaurant/ an image] appeared in multiple venues on the Internet, most notably [[Reddit]], of a sign that was apparently posted in an unidentified McDonald's declaring that it was a "No-Quit Restaurant" and that employees needed management permission to quit their jobs -- a blatantly illegal policy everywhere in the United States. Although it was believed to be specific to a particular restaurant or franchise, the McDonald's corporation as a whole took quite a P.R. hit over it, especially when bigger outlets like [https://www.inc.com/suzanne-lucas/mcdonalds-no-quit-zone-sign-isnt-enforceable-or-funny.html ''Inc.'' magazine] took up the story. On top of that was a December 2023 [https://www.dailydot.com/news/you-cant-quit-mcdonalds/ Tiktok video of a McDonald's employee attempting to give her two weeks' notice] and being told she can't quit. As of early 2024 McDonald's does not seem to have commented on the policy, either to acknowledge or repudiate it.
