I need a really good resignation letter for april fools

[baydude]

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!"

This would actually provide 100% more lulz than OP's original intent.

This is TERRIBLE, this idea.

 

[darkxshade]

lol so much backfire potential...

 

[Newbian]

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

Don't forget the one in the bathroom.

 

[Cookie]

Meh... What's the worst that could happen?

 

[zinfamous]

Best part would be arriving on Tuesday to find that your position has been filled.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Nothing funny about this at all.

I actually did this about 5 years back. I had planned on quitting about 10-12 months after that April fools anyway. I used it as an information recon exercise to see the process/reaction of people for when I actually did resign. Joke went over very well, had the bosses laughing pretty good. The only difference between the April fools and when I actually left was I was the only one laughing.

I read this imagining George Costanza for some reason.

Really? I don't. If I were to put him in this situation, I see backfire and him actually getting let go.

I read this imagining George Costanza for some reason.

if he used ">" instead of - it would be a greentext, maybe that's the link?

Anyway I'd never do this because of the risk, I don't see how the reaction could be funny either, it's not like her world comes down on her because you resign.

Just play video games all day...when your boss objects just hand the letter and say "here"...then go back to your video gaming

bookmarking... hoping for joke backfire

 

[TheVrolok]

I'm with the majority of the others .. this is a terrible idea. Even if you do get away with it (this time), it's still an awful idea.

Even if it does you are looking at a 99.9% troll thread.

This is a bad idea. If you go through with the bad idea, a resignation letter in the form of a ransom letter (letters cut out of magazines, glued on the page) would suffice for your purposes.

 

[RearAdmiral]

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

Then prank the 2 vps/owner.

 

[Lifted]

And if your boss says "Oh, good luck."?

Do you actually expect her to beg you to stay, or cry, or even find it amusing when you say "April Fools!"? She'll most likely think you're just flat out retarded for the rest of your time working there.

I can't see any reaction that your boss could have to this that anyone would find funny.

 

[ioni]

A turd on your boss's desk would be a pretty wacky prank of a resignation letter.

 

[Slew Foot]

LOL worst idea ever

 

[brianmanahan]

worst idea ever

 

[Baked]

Only funny if OP got fired for real.

 

[Ken g6]

The closest I might come to a fake resignation letter would be something like:

I hereby resign myself to working for you indefinitely.

But that would make me sound like I didn't want to work for my boss. So I wouldn't even say that. :whiste:

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.

I recommend a different prank. Something that will actually stress your boss out a little until she realizes its a prank. A threatening letter from the IRS stating that 100% of her salary is to be garnished until a multi-million dollar tax liability is to paid or something. Ideally, it should be getting her on the phone and yelling at someone who has no idea what she is talking about.
