A normal boss might be a little sad to see you go, but a smug rather complacent boss would think that you took something away from him or her that should have been rightfully his or hers. In that case, yes your boss might get mad at you for quitting. But if they are that much of a jerk, you shouldn’t care about what they think of you anyway. Just go along with it. Send in your 2 weeks notice, or just up and leave, whichever you prefer.
It’s when they quit without notice or communication- just stop showing up or walk out or cause drama on the way out that get employers upset. Acting that way is unnecessary and disrespectful. Even if a person must quit immediately, they can still communicate that, which is better than just falling off the face of the earth. What makes an employee upset about the disappearing act is that they cared about their people and their well being. If someone didn’t show and couldn’t be reached, they would genuinely worried that something had happened to them. But When they find out that they just decided to quit and not say anything, it would be frustrating and upsetting, even more so further down the road, when they came back contrite, wanting, needing another chance, but policy had required to mark them as ineligible for rehire due to the way they quit.
