Or alternately you write "NIGGA PLEASE" in 72 pt type, Comic Sans.

the first time i quit my job it was because a girl i was seeing at the office dumped me. because, she said, it was too weird to work together and date each other at the same time - so she immediately started seeing the design director. i immediately went mad. in difft economic times i might have stayed on but i had an embarrassment of other opportunities so i actually wrote my resignation letter AS A WEB PAGE, including a .gif of my signature, and left a note with the URL on the design director's desk! haha what a twunt!

But if I had a photo copier and a audience to rant to I might have chose that route too. Good luck.

SINCERELY,
MANDEE

(like that)

Once I got "taken off the schedule" pending a discussion with the general manager over some comps and voids that none of the managers remembered making (I never showed back up for that tearful reunion).

Every other time, I've found another job and just quit showing up.

Others I've usually been comfortable just to sit down with the boss and tell them verbally (usually there have been good reasons like moving, better job etc, and they are understanding.)

Once I was just fed up with my life, left at lunch break and never returned or called or nothing. With the exception of that one, obv., all instances inolved usually about a mth's notice but never less than 2 weeks.

DEAR METROPOLITAN BAKERY*,

I QUIT.

LOVE, JESS

*your employers name here

And if you don't have a positive career change/opportunity to look forward to, well, making one up won't hurt. :) I dreaded leaving my last job and then I wrote a resignation letter, but decided it was best to tell my boss face-to-face - I think writing the letter first helped me figure out what to say. good luck!

Alternatively "haha SUCKA!! Fuck this shit I'm outie fizzle!"

After much thought, it is with regret that I now tender my resignation. I have enjoyed working with you all these last several years, and I appreciate the opportunities you have given me. I have learned so much during my tenure here at G_& S_, and I thank you all for your patience, kindness and support. I will miss you all, and wish the company continued success.

Very truly yours,

A.

P.S. Now that I have my last reference letter in hand, I must tell you that the preceding letter is a bag of lies - I loathe each and every one of you equally, I hope this shitbag company continues on it's downward spiral and ends up as it was meant to be: nothing more than a flaming bag of dog crap on the doorstep of life. You are all cordially invited to go fuck your hats, you elitist, scum-sucking, shit-eating, motherfucking cocksuckers.

See you in hell, asshats!

And it was. They never called me to see if I was alive.

Very truly yours,

A.

You can all eat a bag of dicks! U R ALL GAY! I ROXOR!

"Can you prove you didn't offer to save my job if I'd let you blow me?"

I really hated that job.

However, as you may be aware I am only eight and my mom says I must go to school now. I will miss you all, and wish the company continued success.

...I have a "friend" who may well be quitting his current job to take up another post, but this is actually the first time he has quit a job with another actually lined up. How is the best way for him to manage this? At what point does he hand in his notice at his current job? Does he need to sign something with his prospective employers first?

I think I'll say, "You win. Happy now?"

Martin OTM, preferably when the entire 'organisation' consists of only 2 or 3 people.

and then somehow turn that rage against the machine riff into word form.

at least that's how i'm quitting.

This is what I said:

I hereby resign my position as senior producer at K*** effective June 26, 2007.

I have enjoyed every opportunity that [my company] has offered to me over the past eleven years. It has been, and always will be, a very valuable experience for me. The people I worked with weren't just fellow co-workers, but friends. It has been my pleasure to work with the team that [the company president] has assembled to facilitate the success for both radio stations. I look forward to hearing about more successes related to this company in the future.

I will be happy to assist in any way during this final transition period.

In other words, I QUIT MY MOTHERFUCKING JOB TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*cheers and applause*

(In that you sounded pretty sick of the place over time.)

I hereby resign my position as senior producer at K*** effective June 26, 2007.

I didn't know you worked at Kmart!

(music: Johnny Paycheck, of course)

Congrats, PP, what's the next career move?

Also, arranging last day/first day to give yourself a couple weeks of vacation: CLASSIC if you can do it.

I didn't realize that my "sickness" showed that much!

I'm leaving here on good terms. I just had to get out of here before they took my red Swingline.

I'm heading for a job along the same lines, just not in radio. And I won't have the general public gnawing my ear off on the telephone for three hours a day.

Rock, I get three days off plus the weekend before going into the new place. Really, any more than that and I would've got too antsy.

Starting today, all resignations shall be delivered by text message LOLcat jpg

I CAN HAS PINK SLIP LOL

Also congrats PP, bit of extra time with GTAVCS. Oh and Beeps of course!

The last time I was between jobs, I sat on the couch for a week, eating fried shrimp and watching coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Man. That was a great week.

guys remember how we used to be able to post to ilx in 14ft red letters.

i was coming on here just to post the link to the youtube of christopher guest calling everyone "bastard people" and saying he was quitting his position and going home to bite his pillow but the giant type distracted me.

I am semi-procrastinating on telling my boss that I was offered a new job Friday afternoon (less stress I HOPE, more $$$$), partially because I have work I need to get done (obviously, since I'm posting!), and partially because the dude's a leathernecked mule-headed SOB that's as likely to cuss me out as he is to help me transition my BS to other folks.

i aimed to tell my boss face to face that i was leaving in a month but he was away so i had to do it via email. still not told my co workers though. they might already know though.

<I>The last time I was between jobs, I sat on the couch for a week, eating fried shrimp and watching coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing.</I>

I have never been between jobs (as I have only had one job). The only time I was *between* things (in a non pervy way) was when I quit university, had a vacation.... and then A WEEKEND OFF before I started The Job. Well, I have had days off (of course), but never in such a deliriously wicked non-commital way ever since.

Your parents work you too hard, seriously.

You say WOOT

I just resigned.

samez :D

well pretty much. Told boss i've been talking to recuiting agencies and stuff. I'll prob be gone within a month

i quit today! well, i submitted my resignation two weeks ago, but today was my last day. i start the new one monday. it's going to be hell of boring, but at least no more, "oh hay, we need you to go to corpus christi (or philadelphia or tampa or kansas city) for 6 weeks to work 7 days a week and not come home once the whole time, thx."

"Kiss a million percent of my ass! Except you. Wanna get a drink or see a movie or something?"

My current boss is a nice duder, so hopefully he won't require me to give the whole 4 weeks notice

I just learned that Percival is Neil Young's middle name. That was kind of tough to wrap my mind around

Multiple browser tabs are a wonderful invention, but they can cause problems.

someone should make fuckyou-fuckyou-yourecool-fuckyou-imout.gif

When I resign from this job i am going to attach a bill for a consultants fee to my resignation letter (which, 4 months before I turn it in is already taking shape), as it will point out all the ways in which this shitty company is failing.

I tried resigning twice in May and they promoted me. Jammy hey.

the first time i quit my job it was because a girl i was seeing at the office dumped me. because, she said, it was too weird to work together and date each other at the same time - so she immediately started seeing the design director. i immediately went mad. in difft economic times i might have stayed on but i had an embarrassment of other opportunities so i actually wrote my resignation letter AS A WEB PAGE, including a .gif of my signature, and left a note with the URL on the design director's desk! haha what a twunt!

crikey, I won't be doing that, at least.

cos I wouldn't know how.

You can do blue writing, that is enough.

I say "Thank you for your help in this matter."

"I want to leave."
"Is this because of anything..."
"No." (knowing laugh)

I was 17 tho
