A Golf-Themed Goodbye
Caution! Do not force your employees to attend sporting events against their will. Especially if it happens to be a golf event. It’s a one-way ticket to getting a resignation letter on your desk. Well, in this case, the employer received more of a golf-themed meme than a full letter.
This resignation is as close to a hole-in-one as you can get when you quit your job for golf-related reasons. What’s great is that for employees out there who have fantasized about a football-themed resignation, here’s your inspiration! Actually, this would work with any ball-centric sport. You’re welcome!
A Poetic Parting
When you first start reading this poetic passage, it is not clear whether you have stumbled onto an unknown passage by The Bard or if this is simply a resignation letter. Quite a bit of concentration and reading between the lines is required in order to understand that this is a person who wishes to quit.
The part that finally gives it away is when the author uses the phrase “the end of all ends to my employment.” We don’t know what mercantile establishment this person was working in, but it was clearly a waste of their incredible writing talent.
Bittersweet Boss
Now that's one hell of a hexagon cookie! Or rather a dozen! Whoever received this not-so-cookie-cutter resignation at least got a sugar high while dealing with the low of losing such a creative employee.
Also, can we talk about the icing? We would have these at our wedding (minus the snarky comment of course). Employees come and go, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
A Tweet Goodbye
Despite the norm, you don’t always have to resign with a printed page, especially if you are a CEO. These days, with social media playing an integral part in many businesses, more aspects of work life can be carried out online.
You can follow in the footsteps of Jonathan Schwartz and resign on Twitter, for example. Although, we’re not sure you want to be in his shoes since his company was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the financial crisis. Well, at least he still had a sense of humor about the whole thing and resigned using a haiku. Letters of resignation don’t always need to be tangible. In this day and age, where the internet and social media are integral to so many jobs, it makes perfect sense that many areas of work are conducted online.
A Crappy Situation
Inspiration strikes in unlikely places, which is what happened when a bored employee was using the bathroom one day. The experience caused him to have an epiphany: his time on the toilet was eerily similar to his working life.
Once he realized how his state of employment was comparable to a bathroom visit, the employee knew he was on the right track for the topic of his resignation letter. He let them know in no uncertain terms that the place was a “dump” and that he was ready to “flush” this job right out of his life.
