The best ways to resign in PR

Sometimes, well often, I dream about informing my bosses, journalists and clients what I REALLY think of them. If only I had the money to make a quick exit on a luxury yacht, I’d tell them where to stick it! Unfortunately, I need this job, and sometimes I even enjoy it.

Here are the top seven ways to resign:

1. Post a video on YouTube. Tell your bosses what arses they are and list all the stupid things they’ve made you do. Do it on film. post it online and email it to all your colleagues, clients and contacts.

2. Dish the dirt with journalists. To hell with diplomacy! Here is a chance to tell everyone about all your clients’ secrets.

3. Tweet terrible things. Be horribly honest on Twitter and Facebook about your bosses.

4. Write a scathing letter of resignation, and then email it to everyone you know. And even a few you don’t.

5. Get steaming drunk and storm into your boss’s office to shout abuse. Throwing up could be a final flourish.

6. Go out for lunch. Then never come back. This may seem restrained, but it could slowly drive your bosses mad with curiosity. Change your phone number, never go on Twitter or Facebook again, and swear your friends and family to secrecy.

7. Put up a poster. A very large poster. Pay for a site near the office, and have all your grievances with your employers written out in HUGE LETTERS.
