I need a really good resignation letter for april fools

[rsutoratosu]

A few people have quit (moving to another state) and got fired (not doing work) So everyone in the office has been playing a lot of pranks on my boss (IT), so for april fools we came up with me leaving my resignation letter this friday night, so she gets it first thing monday morning. I'm also going to write a few fake farewell letters to a few people that's in on the joke so they'll all come in and be like did you get this, Roranji is quitting, etc, etc.

so what kind of letter should I write ? I had a few ideas but nothing good.. anyone got a good one ? I was going to write my gf wants to move to south africa and she demanded I go with her

or I'm in love with a co-worker and I can't bare it anymore, i need to quit before i go crazy ?

So if you have a whacky one you like me to use, i will print it and leave it for april fools, i guess it can't be too whacky, has to be believable..

I think the less crazy it is the more believable it would be. You could amp it up with not being easy to find physically that day.

You have a brain tumor, and only four months to live. Be sure to talk about the doctor's appointment you have scheduled for Thursday, because you have been having headaches and blurry vision.

This idea, bad, this idea, not good at all. Really. No, really. Just bad. Never, ever put the idea into your boss' head that you are no longer an employee. Truly terrible idea. When the sun rises on Tuesday and you have no job and no unemployment because you "quit" you will understand the mountain of not good contained in this simple bad idea.

Worst idea ever?

, i guess it can't be too whacky, has to be believable..

i would rethink this

 

[iamwiz82]

This I would place in the "unwise idea" pile.

 

[stargazr]

I would never do this with my job, you're nuts.

 

[BoomerD]

Come on...what a bunch of nancy girls...encourage the OP to do this...if only for the LULZ that will be had when the boss accepts his resignation...and he's out of a job for his stupidity.

I was thinking this also, but I'm assuming they are planning on letting her in on it shortly after it's submitted.

Some workplaces require that the boss submit the resignation letter to HR immediately so they can have a datestamp for the beginning of the 2 week notice and an actual end date. It would suck if this got official quickly.

Done, we already planned it, im not coming in till 1pm and not taking phone calls too

I was thinking of coming in and saying friday is my last day and sorry i can't give you a longer noticed

 

[IronWing]

Oh well, the unemployment thread is stickied at the top of the forum so you know where to start looking.

 

[rsutoratosu]

Nono, this is done deal, other vp got green light from the our owner.. he's a prankster too. We're gonna try to put cameras in by friday to get her reaction

 

[T9D]

I'm going to laugh when she says "oh thank God I was trying to figure out who to let go next, you saved me a lot of time"

 

[rasczak]

Great, another idiot that will file for unemployment due to stupidity.

 

[rsutoratosu]

lol, if you guys wanna do a prank, get it approved by the company owner.. 2 vp and I got approval.. no chance of getting fired

 

[Mixolydian]

Would be hilarious if the OP was "let go" because of this.

 

[rsutoratosu]

so right now, im going in to her office to tell her we just lost another server...

 

[Vdubchaos]

I love how a GROUP of people are bringing this onto "ONE"......and OP is actually really thinking about doing it.

April fools joke doesn't work during Unemployment file claim either......and god forbid if your boss REALLY wants to get rid of you, this would be her perfect chance.

 

[Printer Bandit]

seems like you have more to lose than to gain by pulling this dumb prank.

 

[Jimzz]

Instead of a resignation letter, how about a question letter?

Like... Myself and employees are whondering if its against company policy if we had sexual relations with the cleaning lady... for example. Add a not at the same time kinda thing at the end.

I smell a rebound prank.
- OP turns in his letter.
- Boss calmly accepts resignation.
- No lulz were had, everyone in on the prank is disappointed.
- OP reveals it was a prank.
- Boss ignores OP.
- Suddenly the owner and VPs have total amnesia about any "prank".
- OP escorted from building, protesting that it was a joke.
- OP told in parking lot "April Fools!"
