If I were going to quit my job...

Re: If I were going to quit my job...

  • That's pretty awesome.
  • I love her a lot.  Although I doubt she's going to find a new job anytime soon if this explodes on the internets.

    It already has exploded. I've seen articles from 3 different sites posted on FB.

  • i bet that will get her a job!

    That was my first thought, and then I figured I was just being all Captain Serious. It's the same way with the guy that quit via cake.

    It's funny and all, but are you really going to get a good reference after that?

  • The guy who quit via cake did not say anything negative.  It was just a funny way to hand in his letter of resignation.

    What this chick did is in a different league.  I stand behind her 100% because her boss sounds like a douchebag.  I doubt he would have given her a good reference anyway.  I just hope it doesn't prevent her from finding a new job.  Then again, it might be a good way to weed out all the other potential douchebag bosses.

  • I agree that it will probably be tough for Jenny to get a job at first.  BUT also think that she did something that we all want to do at some point and I give her props for doing it.  I would love to tell my boss that his fingernail clipping, 45 minute bathroom breaks (we have one bathroom), constant staring at the computer aimlessly and the month one of us had to cart him to/from work because he was too cheap to get his car fixed by a reputable repairman are all NOT COOL.

  • She and that JetBlue steward are living out a lot of How to Quit Your Job In Style fantasies this week.

    Still, I'm a fuddy-duddy and my first thought was "I hope she doesn't want another job in that industry."

  • I guess we're all pearl-clutchers at heart because I had the same "But how will she get another job!?" reaction. Maybe she'll be on a reality show and then wisely invest her earnings?

    The Apprentice, perhaps.

  • meh it was stupid but she looks super young and if she was someone's assistant and transferring phone calls she's not that big of a deal. at the level she is applying for jobs i doubt anyone is going to do a particularly big google check on her.

    She is a celebrity now, after all, and that's all Trump seems to be interested in these days.

  • She is kind of a HOPA.  I've never heard that term before and will be using it in a sentence five times today.

    how is HOPA=HPOA?

    Thank you. That has been bugging me all day.  

    image
  • My interpretation is that her boss referred to her as HOPA because he's too dumb to get the initials in the right order.  It looked like she was shaking the dry erase board to rearrange them in the correct order here:

  • Brilliant translation, Cali.  I was also struggling with that one.

    I think this was very calculated, and I'll say she's expecting not to have trouble getting a job after this, but actually be rolling in offers.  And she's probably not wrong.
