Mel here obviously knows how to deliver bad news. They don’t teach you that in college, kids! You are either born with it or you aren’t, and Mel was born with it for sure. Looking at her cake journey (yes, it’s a journey) makes you fall in love with her and feel bad that you’re not moving to her new workplace with her.
Here’s to hoping that Mel’s new job is as sweet as her farewell cake. And if it’s not, we are sure she will know exactly what is the right treat to deliver her news.
Saying No to Noodles
Saying that running your own business is hard would be an understatement. There is nothing like running a small business to bring out the worst in people. Apparently, that's what happened to May from M Noodle.
It's a good thing that working at M Noodle didn't ruin Spencer's sense of humor. We don't doubt that his time at this place was terrible, but at least he was able to produce a hysterical resignation letter and sign it as "Your stunningly handsome ex-employee." Silver lining, anyone?
But Why Chipotle?
Big food chains are fun for the most part. You know what to expect, there is always something nice and familiar to look forward to, and it feels like you're never really away from home because you identify your lunch even when you're miles away. Backstage of this industry, however, is often not as fun as the customer's side of things.
This resignation letter serves two purposes — one is to obviously let the big corporate bosses know how badly they've treated their employees, and the other is to spread the word so more people know about this. What helped us get over the sad story here is the thought that all the employees possibly started their own business together. Preferably ethically sourced organic coffee shop with 3000 different kinds of soy milk.
Mourning Shift
Here we are thinking Hallmark cards were no longer a thing that people actually purchased. Well here comes the greeting card revival! If you're thinking of resigning then why not pop into your local store and grab the nearest grievance card? Bam! You've got yourself an effective yet hilarious way to quit.
It has all the creativity of a hilarious resignation with MINIMAL effort. Just sit back, relax and let the card do the talking!
Homer Humor
We didn't think freedom had a color until we laid our eyes on this joyful note. Now it's clearer than ever that the color of freedom is Simpson yellow. If we were fancy art critics, we would say that this piece makes wonderful use of a pop culture reference to demonstrate the weight of corporate life doomed to be carried by common workers. But we're not, so we won't.
We commend this person for using the company printer as the last hurrah before leaving. It is simple, funny, sophisticated, and perfectly delivers how happy this employee must be to tell his corporate job to kiss his behind goodbye.
