50 Times People Quit In The Pettiest Way And Left A Lasting Impression On Their Bosses (New Pics)
There are many good reasons why a person would quit their job. Maybe it’s because of the toxic work environment or suboptimal work-life balance. Some jobs are not exciting enough and don’t offer a lot of growth and career opportunities so, after a little while, you feel like you’re stuck doing the same thing every day. Others simply don’t pay enough.
Whatever the reason, quitting your job is quite a big deal. In some cases, it can be quite an emotional endeavor, while, in others, it’s the most satisfying thing ever.
The list below is comprised of resignation letters and similar announcements filled with the latter sentiment. People quit jobs every day, but these examples are so creative they will definitely leave a lasting impression on the HR department.

Tbf, this is what happens when every company demands a formal letter of resignation before they'll start processing your exit paperwork. If somebody doesn't give a s**t then what do you want?

How I Quit My Last Job
michael Chock 3 years ago
It's true. Employers add all kinds of loopholes so they can abuse employees, they assume we are all too stupid to use them for ourselves. The most helpful is when they say "calls may be recorded", you better believe I will record my calls with a hostile corporation.

When I quit, I basically gave them three days' notice, because I was owed vacation time. I waived three days of vacation to finish out the week. The HR minion ranted at me about how unprofessional I was being, and I asked her if she wanted me to come back after lunch or not. Worked the rest of the week in the most blissful peace. Three weeks later, the old boss has the temerity to call me to come in to help. I told him he could buy blocks of time at $125 an hour. He hung up on me. bwahahahaha!
