There’s a news story doing the rounds at the moment about a worker who wrote his resignation letter on the icing on a cake that he’d baked, which he handed to his management on his 31st birthday. He handed them a normal letter as well, but there’s nothing like making a statement when you decide to walk out!
Here are five other ways, if you have the time to organise them, or money to spend on them, to make your resignation really hit the mark:
I Resign! I:
Take out a double page advertisement in a competitor company’s newsletter, and scatter a few copies around the office, open at the page. It would be advisable to only use this method if you were certain you were going to resign, with no intention of ever trying to go back. Probably best used after a humungous Lottery win.
I Resign! II:
Hire one of those sky-writing companies, who write messages in the sky using a plane as a pen. On the day you choose to resign, and at the time you have booked the sky-writing session, set off the fire alarm, and evacuate the building so everyone can see the letter being written from the fire assembly point.
I Resign! III:
Whilst volunteering to work in the staff canteen, open all of the tins of Alphabet Spaghetti, and spread your message all across the management’s table… or the table next to theirs, if you think you may want to ask for your old job back one day (it would also be advisable to clear up afterwards in this case)
I Resign! IV:
Ask NASA to get the Mars Explorer to write out your resignation in letters formed by stones gathered from the Martian surface, and photograph it afterwards so the text looks like the opening sequence of Star Wars. Maybe adding the Star Wars theme may add to the atmosphere a little with this resignation.
I Resign! V:
Travel back in time to when the Pyramids were being built, and write your resignation in hieroglyphics on one of the walls of a Pyramid that will be opened in the nineteenth century. Use a different style of hieroglyphics, so that your letter will not be uncovered, or deciphered, until the very day you resign. You will, of course, have also arranged for this discovery to be broadcast on every news network around the globe so the message gets across. Mentioning your company’s name in the ancient message may mean that your job will remain open for you, should you choose to return.
Once you’ve resigned, you need to ask yourself what’s next? Perhaps the first thing you could do is come up with a list of five things you could do after resigning… but remember… feel good every step of the way!
