Long hours, stultifying dull work, crap colleagues and one of the meanest bosses ever.
Most of us at one time or another have been in a job we thought about packing in every time we walking through the door. Some of us got to do that. And they even did it in style. Here are some of the best job resignations we’ve seen in a long time, right here:
Making it public
We can’t help feeling the US garage owner should really have seen this coming. All the signs were there… Ok, our little joke, but we guess he got the message next time he arrived at the garage to collect his takings. We’re just not convinced the guy who quit is going to get a great reference.
Making a statement resignation
Yes, all those cereal boxes really are upside down. Or, as one wag said: “So this is what a supermarket in Australia looks like!’. But maybe this wasn’t a resignation after all. Could it just be a shelf stacker having an off day? Maybe there’s something cereally wrong with his or her eyesight?
Losing it – but not the job
“WHAT SORT OF LIFE IS THIS AND WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING BOARDING A TRAIN FOR MOORGATE AT 6.30 IN THE MORNING AND THEN STANDING AROUND FOR AGES WAITING FOR A TUBE WHILE STARING AT A SIGN TELLING YOU THAT IF YOU WAIT FOR FOUR MINUTES YOU CAN BOARD A TRAIN TO UXBRIDGE I’D RATHER WAIT FOUR HOURS FOR A JOURNEY WITH THE GRIM REAPER QUITE FRANKLY.”
It’s not quite a resignation, more of a rant. One freelance cricket reporter obviously didn’t get much sleep the day he started his match report for the Guardian newspaper. Surprisingly he still works for the newspaper to this day.
Saying it like it is
Sometimes, only the truth will do. And being straight to the point means there’s no confusion. Wonder how long it took the management to realise there was no-one to supply the whoppers. Or maybe it was the management who left? Either way this particular McDonald’s outlet is burgered.
Chewing it over
Possibly our favourite job resignation of all – this secretary wasn’t messing the morning she decided to quit. Delivering these to her boss’s breakfast meeting she made it quite plain she was ‘outta there, pronto. Yes, let them get their own breakfast is what we say…
