Want To Tell Your Boss Where To Stick It? There’s An App For That

Have you decided that 2014 is the year in which you finally quit the job you hate and move on to greener pastures? Well, as with so many other things, it seems that there’s an app designed to help with just that.

Recently launched in the App Store, the Quit Your Job app takes users through a series of questions to determine why they are thinking of quitting, before crafting a bespoke text message to be sent directly to their boss.

“Despite all the advances in technology we still quit our jobs the same way we did hundreds of year ago,” notes Alex Douzet, chief executive officer of The Ladders, the New York-based employment company that produces the app.

“There’s a lot of anxiety around the resignation process, so we used technology to ease the pain in that moment and make it seamless to breakup with your boss,” he added.

The texts generated aren’t necessarily the most considered way to sever ties — although you’ll certainly be remembered with messages such as:

Lucifer, Outside the office window today, there floated a butterfly. It danced in the wind; graceful and elegant. Turning my stare back inside, my desk mate gorged on a rather pungent tuna fish sandwich. A part of me died as I watched him miss his mouth slightly, globs of tuna and mayonnaise falling in chunks on his shirt. So I quit. I quit my job where I’m surrounded by ogres and am going to become rich as an exquisite dancer. I know I don’t have any experience, but if I start now I can be a prima ballerina in what, 10 years? Screw that. I want to make MONEY. I still quit. I’ll just find a joint in Vegas where I’m paid cash – exclusively in ones.

Quit Your Job is the unofficial sequel to another app called BreakupText, whose designers team up with The Ladders to create this employment-based variation.
