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.
So Long but Not Goodbye
All you have to do is look at that font, and you can tell this resignation letter is fancy, and that’s without mentioning writing the date in letters and not numbers. Leaving the office supply biz seems to have inspired this store associate to write the most heartfelt and eloquent missive of his young life.
This person seems to have a flair for drama, but it looks like they honestly enjoyed their time at work and performed their duties well. We’re sure that any manager who received this letter was sorry to see Pat go. At least they’ll meet again in the “Great Office Supply Store in the Sky.”
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.
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 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.
