Best job-quitting ever!
This person quit her job and emailed this series of pix explaining why to everyone in her office. She did this today, and it's already going viral. Most Excellent quitting, ever!
Jenny quits job on whiteboard, emails office.
UPDATE:
As others have pointed out here, turns out this is a hoax.
Apparently TheChive.com invented this story and published it at 4:30am 8/10, then today admitted to Tech Crunch and others they made it up. It was an exercise in intentional viral meme production meant to "entertain."
The notion of quitting by email is certainly plausible to me: I've done it in a company-wide email blast my self, although only listing written points, not attaching pictures. I think more people wish they could or would do this, hence the story's popularity.
What bugs me about concocted stories like this is the motive as stated by one of it's perpetrators, John Resig:
"People, particularly journalists, underestimate America’s appetite for a good story.... it was done purely for the entertainment of the people first and foremost. The purpose of the hoax was to entertain and inspire, not to inform, so what difference does it make if the story has a single ounce of truth?" (http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/11/elyse-porterfield/)
How dense can this man be?
People want to know their fiction is fiction, and to know their factual stories are exactly that: real facts. Not invented b.s. How we think of something, as fiction or fact, colors how we perceive it, the lessons we draw from it, and its implications and broader social impact. We believe things that are "true" (provable, or alleged to be true and supported with facts) in a different way than we believe "stories". Yeah, people have an appetite for a good story, but I think they want to know it's a real story, not concocted falsehoods.
Feh.
