I quit when I get sick of what ever hierarchy I've been implanted in refuses to flatten after consistent attempts (overt or subvert) by myself to instigate positive change. My life is governed by a set of rules inspired from daoism and taijiquan. First and foremost is "Make good change"(The secret trick is to smile, from you heart). If the authoritarianism is standing in the way of this, it's time to move on.

Make good change is about making small steps of progress all the time. In the context of my employer, if they are hindering or ignoring my attempts to make the workspace efficent, healthier and more productive then it's time to leave.
