Just about everyone with a job has fantasized about they day they quit. First, you turn in your two weeks notice, then you get to become a short-timer and no one expects anything from you for the end of your stint.
Then, you might get a cake or a happy hour in your name.
There’s also the part where you get to tell everyone how you really feel about them:
“John in sales, I never really liked you.”
“Reba in accounting, I’ll actually miss your smiling face.”
“Jason in marketing, everyone talks smack about you behind your back.”
Plus, there’s a subtle sense of petty joy that comes with being able to willfully leave a workplace where other people are stuck slaving away. Especially if the new gig pays better.
Sam Baines, a 22-year-old who worked at a call center in Sheffield, England found a clever way to tell his boss he was leaving. he sent him a condolences card.
The front of the card reads: “So very sorry for your loss.”
On the inside, Baines wrote: “My last day at work is the 28th July.”
The card was shared on Twitter by his his soon-to-be former coworker Hannah, where it has earned over 430,000 likes and 76,000 retweets.
Some funny folks on Twitter responded with their goofy going-away notices.
