With the sincerest hope that Tom was not employed as a journalist or a copy editor, otherwise, his atrocious spelling would have been severely reprimanded, we can enjoy this strangely informal resignation letter.
Tom was just trying to be considerate and let his boss know about his last day of employment for the record. He even took the time to include his last day and the date the letter was written, not once but twice, to make sure Doug definitely knew when this was going to happen. What a grrreaaat guy!
Peace-Out Peacock
The term "peacocking" refers to the act of dressing in extravagant outfits in order to draw attention to yourself. It appears this former employee used this as inspiration when quitting. There's no doubt that this brightly-colored peacock painting got the requisite attention from HR.
We also love the ironic joke included on the back of the...umm..artwork. "I am a peacock! You gotta let me fly." We hope that both employee and employer understood the joke since Peacocks aren't regarded as the most capable flyers.
A Vicious Cycle
Feeling like you are not earning as much as you deserve is actually pretty common. This employee, however, took that feeling to the extreme and claims it led their life into a downward spiral.
According to them, the low wages they were getting made their entire life into something negative, causing them to eat a lot, become fat and become detrimental to the company's image. Apparently, if they don’t resign, they will make everyone else eat a lot too. It’s nice of this soon-to-be ex-employee to be so considerate of the greater good.
It's Been Brewing
What's more amusing than the weird and wacky flavors of craft beers these days are their rather...artistic..names. That's why we couldn't help but giggle at this former employee's resignation. He dubbed his resignation beer the "2 Weeks Notice IPA." Brilliant!
We truly hope that this person's next business venture involves making these resignation beers for job quitters everywhere. It would certainly make the whole process s a little lighter for employees and employers alike. We'd drink to that.
Out of This World and This Job
The usual resignation letter is normally a plain white paper with many long and boring paragraphs, which explain the individual’s desire to resign from whatever company they have been employed by. Although, sometimes people are not content with the ordinary and decide to reach for the stars.
There is no doubt though that his boss will never forget him, especially after leaving behind this epic framed picture. Not too sure what the vacuum cleaner’s for, though…
