Reason for Quitting Cartoon: The Brutal Interview Truth

Sometimes the exit is the only open door.

The Scenario: In this reason for quitting cartoon, we witness the death of the "professional filter."

When the interviewer asks why the applicant moved on, the candidate doesn't reach for a cliché about "vertical growth."

Instead, they treat the corporate exit door as a survival tool. It is a moment where the candidate stops pretending that staying in a toxic loop is a virtue and admits that walking out was the most productive thing they did all year.

The Observation: This piece of job interview satire targets the "Loyalty Fallacy." It critiques the expectation that employees should have a deep, philosophical reason for leaving, when the reality is often just a broken culture and a functional exit door.

At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical irony that the most honest answer to "Why did you quit?"—because it was unbearable—is the only answer you're legally forbidden from giving in a hiring room.

The most honest 'reason for quitting' usually doesn't fit into a resume bullet point, but it fits perfectly through the frame of an exit door.
