I found this short blog entry on how to quit your job. While useful (it's full of the usual stuff about giving notice, writing vague resignation letters, and other bromides) we think that there are ways to spice up the process.

There are lots of ways to let your company know that you quit. How about these time-tested techniques:

1. Place a mannequin in your cubicle, dressed like you, and take off for an unannounced six-week vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
2. Come to work wearing nothing but a bowtie.
3. Attend the next all-hands-on-deck meeting with a tape recorder and a big-assed microphone, and tell them you are collecting supporting evidence.
4. Wear your underwear on the outside of your pants/slacks/whatever.
5. Fill your mouth with alka-seltzer just before you walk into the room for your weekly one-on-one meeting.
6. Talk openly about "unionizing this shop."
7. Hang enormous phallic symbols on your cubicle walls.
8. Ask for six months' paid vacation in lieu of a raise.
9. Mumble incoherently about U.F.O.s and the fact that NASA never landed humans on the moon.
10. Fire up one of your medicinal-marijuana spliffs in the middle of the next staff meeting, and tell them it's for your health, so shut up.
11. Hire a stripper to attend the next company birthday 'celebration'.
12. Use a sharpie to make fake needle tracks on your arms, wear dark sunglasses, and rock incessantly scratching at your arms - then ask for some paid 'time off to clean up'.
13. Park in the president's parking space every day.
14. Ask the CFO for advice on funding a start-up. (Although this one might backfire.)

More to come...
