Many years ago in another life at another company, I had blown up about something silly and disconnected an entire online meeting. My manager called me a few days later to let me know that I’d be on probation for a few months. I saved her the paperwork hassle by giving her my notice to resign. The whole situation was overblown and I handled it badly, but it felt good at the time. I ended up not working in software development again for almost three years.
