Resigning is never an easy task. It is like breaking up with your organisation and especially with your boss. You have had your good days and bad days, but the feeling that I don’t have to come to this place anymore is absolutely priceless!
While most people think their whole ‘leaving the company’ process through to make sure they don’t burn any bridges, there are a few others who just don’t give a flying fuck. They have had enough of the laws and the ethics and now they just want to get the hell out of there. And so they do it differently, they leave their boss, like a boss!
Need an example? Here are many:
1. Resignation level: Star Wars
This guy did not just resign via Star Wars themed video, but also expressed his desire to have sex with everyone in the office and as a bonus, added his naked dance video in the end.
I did not see that coming!
2. A sweet treat!
Shooting an e-mail is so boring and mainstream. How about a resignation cake? A guy named Chris Holmes wrote his resignation on the frosting of the cake and sent it to his office. Why? Because he worked in immigration and wanted to pursue his dream of opening his own bakery. How cool is that!
3. To be precise
While some like to be detailed enough, others like to KISS: Keep It Short & Sweet! (literally)
4. A little party never killed nobody

You will really wait for the day this happens in your office. A guy called Joey was so tired of his workplace that after working there for three and a half years, he called a marching band to his office who kept playing really loud music and marching around. Dancing to the music, he went up to his boss and handed his resignation to him.
5. Asking Mario to break the news for you
A gamer tweaked the famous Super Mario video game to display the message ‘I quit’ every time it would get a mushroom. Now that’s what I call is mixing work with play.
6. Send messages from the beyond
As a brilliant technique to remind his colleagues how he felt about them even after he was gone, this graphic designer hacked his own computer to display interesting messages every time someone would try to work on his computer.
7. Break it to the world
While you and I get in stealth mode as soon as we decide that we need to resign, this man called Greg Smith who worked in a reputed global investment bank, got his resignation letter published in The New York Times, while calling his colleagues ‘muppets’ and the clients ‘toxic.’ You can read the complete resignation letter here.

8. Old fashioned hamburgers with brand new resignation
Grey was so done taking shit from his boss every day that one day he thought of having some fun with the signs outside. As a result, he changed the sign to ‘I quit’ and the rest is history…
9. Hey! I just started using whatsapp…to send out my resignation letter!
If you think that such things happen only in the states then you are so wrong. A Sub-Inspecter in Kanpur was so harassed by his senior officials that he immediately sent out his resignation letter through WhatsApp.
And people say our police officers aren’t modern enough! Huh!
10. When you know you can’t handle another shitty customer
Cabin crew member Steven Slater was called names for the nth time by a customer in reaction to his polite request. He had simply asked her to take a seat till the flight lands while she replied, “Fuck off motherf*cker.” So Steven went to the plane’s public address system and resigned on the loudspeaker saying, “OK, I’ve had it. To the passenger who called me a motherf—er, f— you! Those of you who have shown dignity and respect these last 20 years, thanks for a great ride, but I’ve been in this business for 28 years and I’ve had it. That’s it. I’m done, motherf—er.”
So the next time you feel frustrated at work, try and imagine your own wacky way of resigning and share it with us! 🙂
