I need a really good resignation letter for april fools

[melly]

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.

Yeah, that one.

 

[RedRooster]

You're gonna get him so good!

 

[Krazy4Real]

I don't see anything wrong with this idea. Let us know how it goes.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's actually pretty awesome. As long as it does not backfire LOL.

 

[manlymatt83]

unwise

 

[Schfifty Five]

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

Please, please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the prankster get pranked.

It would be EPIC if rsutoratosu actually did get fired and his VPs told him his "immunity" was the april fool's joke.

Best Joke Ever, but give it a little opening.

"I must inform you that I am leaving the company, effective immediately. I do have some reasons and thoughts I would like to leave with you though. I feel I can best explain this with a story I heard some time ago:
'So, there's a man crawling through the desert.
...'"

But is that not a sign of great efficiency?

 

[Yossarian]

This is such a colossally bad idea that I want you to do it.

 

[Ichinisan]

I can't bear it anymore

FTFY

If he's borrowing anything of yours, make sure you ask for him to return it and don't offer an explanation.

 

[Phoenix86]

What a bunch of pussies, he has approval from his boss's boss and the owner. Go for it.

Well, the other problem is that it isn't that funny

Thank you Jeff for your Marvelous idea.

I've already talked to my HR lady and our 2 Admin Assistants who will be a part of said joke. The 2 Admin Assistants are going to essentially talk to him about the letters I am going to give them thanking them for all of their help while I've worked here. Both are going to recommend they talk to the HR lady who will sell him on the fact he really should sit down and read the letter as it goes into very good detail as to why I am submit this letter.


I will let you know the results when I come back to the office on Tuesday.

:thumbsup:

P.s. I am only doing this because of 2 reasons:

1) I know my boss will be upset at first, once he finds out it is a joke, he'll totally laugh his ass off.

2) Since I have the HR lady, who likes me a ton, involved I am more likely able to come back to work on Tuesday.

I don't like the idea, but make a statement of intended prank and get it notarized before doing this. Heck, have those authorizing this sign it too.

Anyway, you said that you planned on not answering calls, coming in late, etc. Most businesses will not tolerate lost productivity for the sake of a prank. Sure that won't get you fired?

 

[Ns1]

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.

For my sake, I am going to be out of the office for WonderCon which was planned months ago and which he will also be attending, but at a different time as myself.

We prank other people in the office constantly and the fact the timing of me being out of the office, works perfectly. Like I said, if my HR lady wasn't involved and I didn't know the CEO well enough to know he wouldn't let me be fired anyway, I wouldn't do it.

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 do not see a possible negative consequence that could possibly result from engaging in this course of action.

DO IT.

 

[Ichinisan]

Make sure to use all of your sick time and PTO time now so it looks like you're planning to quit.

 

[rsutoratosu]

pranks already started, my boss emailed me and ask me when i'm coming in, i told her 3:30, 30 min before she leaves. i'm on a different floor working as long as she doesn't see much go out for lunch im safe for the day, i still dont have a letter yet, ill be working on it later today..

 

[rsutoratosu]

had to google for one, gonna rip one off

[bigrash]

I wouldn't do this. Specially not leave a letter so he can see it in the morning when no one is there. His first instinct might be to let HR know and they might start processing your termination paperwork. If you have benefits/401k that's the last thing you'd want to happen.

 

[veri745]

I will have no sympathy for you when you have no job on April 2.

 

[darkewaffle]

Just do this

 

[gorcorps]

This is the greatest idea for a prank I've ever heard

Looking forward to hearing how it comes out
