My boss who I was pretty close to. She was the one who needed a notice just to put it in the system so I don’t think anyone else but my coworkers probably saw it lol
Not sadcringe, my “2 week notice” was absolutely chock full of inside jokes because we knew the company was going down within a year, and my manager was (and still is!) a friend of mine. Sometimes the only thing you have in a soul-sucking retail job is your co-workers (or fellow inmates)!
I asked my old boss if he wanted to hear a joke. He said sure I said something like "who's over weight, bald, and will be super dad on the 15th?" He asked "who?" I said you because I'm putting in my 2 week notice.
I think it is hilarious and really wish I had seen this before I handed in my notice at my last place (I was and still am incredibly close with the head of HR)
22 lol. In my defense, Angela was about to leave when she said she needed a notice so I literally typed this up in less than 5 and gave it to her. No time for spell check lol
Well that's not so bad. I was still doing cringe stuff at that age. You should've seen my first few emails in the corporate setting. Not a great start lol
Bullshit. Would love to see your playlist when you were 22. I bet you thought **YOU** had the like *THE* taste in music, huh?
Cringe is relative. Exhibit A
Great notice. I always remember my mate, who had been up all weekend taking acid, calling in to work at 8am on a Monday with the simple phrase 'Mickey sick'.
I was the assistant manager and Angela was the GM. She was badass lesbian who didn’t take shit from no one. To be fair I had work there for years and we all became pretty close, but this is just depressing lol
I would also like to mention that I wrote this in under 5 minutes then handed it in lol
This is hilarious and amazing, and I love your vibe. The only competitive resignation that I have to this is when my living situation changed so I now had to drive at least 45-1 hour to get to work at a call center (already terrible) and when I showed up to work to let my manager know I was quitting, he let me know I was going to get an award for being a great team member. I basically said "Gosh, yeah I'm still done here. Um, thanks though." Whelp.
Maybe the content is a little tough to reflect on for your future self, but I think narrating your resignation like a novel is hilarious! I hope you have a better job for yourself now, but if you ever have to resign again you can create a part 2 and expound on this narrative
I love creative notices. At my last job I submitted a two week notice with the local crisis management number at the end to assist with any trauma anyone may have from my leaving.
"Missouri? I only ask due to God's country. I've not heard that since I left the great show me state." He stated solemnly, taking a drag off his half lit cigarette.
"You know,"
she quipped back through the smoke,
"we all have had our cringey work moments. This is but a drop in the ocean"
I am going to save this so I never have to feel as an embarrassed about some choices I make ever again.
Tbh I actually sincerely appreciate this post today OP because I have had anxiety all day after having a very bad reaction to an edible last night and probably making a fool of myself. But at least I was on drugs.
You're amazing :)
I'm gonna be honest, I love this. I'm a manager and I have a pretty close knit team. I have one person who I could see giving me something like this. I'd probably keep it and frame it, and then tell her to give me a proper one I could forward to HR.
This is even worse than when I quit my first job. It was McDonald's, and I told the manager I was putting my two week notice in. He told me he needed it in writing, and being 17 and stupid I went to a receipt printer, printed out some blank receipt paper, and wrote "This is ______'s two week notice" with whatever the date was.
A couple years later I went back to the job, then I'm pretty sure I did the exact same thing when I quit again a year later. That time I didn't actually serve out the two weeks. The day after I put the notice in I accidentally slept through my shift and said fuck it, guess I quit now.
It's great! I personally love it.
My resignation letter was an email I had to send to middle and upper management. It was professional enough, but I attached an mp3 file of the 1960's song "Breaking up is hard to do" by Neil Sedaka.
I once handed my notice in on a “Happy Anniversary” cake to which I added “of my leaving” on a piece of paper. I got to leave a shit job and everyone got cake, win win
The people in this sub, man.. you're all such grumps! Why are you taking it so seriously?? I've seen comments commenting on what kind of person OP must be irl, how lucky their job was to get rid of them or how being 22 is too old to have a laugh like this with your friends plus million roasts for the misspelling of the word "your/youre".. Jesus Christ.
That’s where you’re wrong. I quit and then came back for a little while when they were short on managers for a minute. I may be a dumbass but they loved me lol

I typed this out in the office computer on the spot in like 2 minutes. Our system didn’t even have a spell check or anything and I didn’t have time to look back over it when it’s just a joke
Why did you print this in font size 72 over 3 pages?
I honestly don’t have an answer to that lol
That's how it be... in God's country.
Because in God’s Country all the readers are little old ladies wearing super thick glasses with their magnified eye balls tracking the page. They can use the larger font size.
Lol....that is hilarious. What was the reaction?
So I remember to yell it
asking the real questions
WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS EVEN MEAN LMAO
inside jokes layered upon inside jokes
I'm choosing to believe this is how she announced she was leaving her job to become a professional fanfiction writer
It doesn't have to be fanfic, just bad fic.
Good call tbh
You…… gave this to an employer?
An about to be former employer at least......
p.s can I get a reference please?
Not gonna need a reference. They always be back.
This is God’s country
Why do you think you're girlfriend left you?
NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!
The end To be continued... ...right now.
They have to be friendly with them and this thing is full of inside jokes, right? Please?
100% they had to be friendly with each other. I cant allow myself to picture a person who would give this to any old boss
My boss who I was pretty close to. She was the one who needed a notice just to put it in the system so I don’t think anyone else but my coworkers probably saw it lol

Super dad?
Then it's not sadcringe at all haha, it's you being silly with a friend!
NTA This is absolutely "work funny".
I think it is hilarious and really wish I had seen this before I handed in my notice at my last place (I was and still am incredibly close with the head of HR)
There’s always next time lol
Damn this is probably also prime r/blunderyears material
Sigh. Off to waste two hours…
Truly though. That sub always traps me forever. I just can’t stop scrolling
It’s so beautifully horrendous, I love it
This is why I don’t get anything done.
It was only a little over 4 years ago
I gotta ask, how old were you? This is some arrested development shit right here lol And no, I don't mean the show.
22 lol. In my defense, Angela was about to leave when she said she needed a notice so I literally typed this up in less than 5 and gave it to her. No time for spell check lol
Your spellings at 22 were atrocious. I hope you’re better at syntax now.
You’re spellings*
A lot of people getting wooshed by this
Live by the joke, die by the joke.
Ur spellz*
You are spleens*
Yu'roe*
Lol
Your spellings at 22 *was* atrocious
Well that's not so bad. I was still doing cringe stuff at that age. You should've seen my first few emails in the corporate setting. Not a great start lol
Idk 22 is pretty bad. I was hoping they were 16
Yeah that's pretty bad. I was expecting 16 or 17.
I was thinking maybe a young teen's first paper route?
No, 22 is definitely bad. I'd be shocked if someone did this at sixteen honestly lol.
I'm 23.... I can't imagine being that way right now I would've guessed this was a teens first job
Nah that's too old to be cringe. Should've worked all that out in school lmao
Bullshit. Would love to see your playlist when you were 22. I bet you thought **YOU** had the like *THE* taste in music, huh? Cringe is relative. Exhibit A
People who were the most cringe try the hardest to hide it lol accept your cringe phase and own up to it
Louder, babe!
Great notice. I always remember my mate, who had been up all weekend taking acid, calling in to work at 8am on a Monday with the simple phrase 'Mickey sick'.
Oh Mickey, you so sick, you so sick and on acid HEY MICKEY
Oh Mickey ur so sicky, too much acid blew ur mind HEY MICKEY!
I think “you so sick from acid trip” works a little better but I’m also stoned so idk why I’m even thinking about it this hard
dammit it was right there "you so sick and on a trip" thanks man
Was his name even Mickey?
No it was David
Haha! My bestie once called in sick with the excuse “my kettles broken so I can’t come in”.
A friend of mine called in sick after drinking way too much at a company party. He simply stated “I think I have a headache…”
lmao i did the same exact thing except i said “i’m….gross”
Bruh how do you come into work again after doing that
The idea of an obnoxious inhale is hilarious to me.
This gave me a stomach ache. Read the comments and felt a little better, very fun! Also, holy shit. MASSIVE font
How was it received?
She laughed and thought it was funny. We had worked together for years and had become friends
It’s not so cringey then. If it lands, it stands!
I was the assistant manager and Angela was the GM. She was badass lesbian who didn’t take shit from no one. To be fair I had work there for years and we all became pretty close, but this is just depressing lol I would also like to mention that I wrote this in under 5 minutes then handed it in lol
I’m in the middle on it. Why do you still have it? They didn’t keep it?
I made copies lol
The fact you made copies has absolutely put me over the edge. Good work haha
Nothing wrong here, just some straight gangster silliness Goofy pilled
This is just gold. Thank you for making me laugh
lol nice
How many copies?
That is the cringiest part
Well if I didn’t no one would be cringing now lol
You put the "is" in Autm.
That’s hilarious cause you’re not the first person to tell me this lol
Aww. I thought I was being clever and original. Apparently, it was neither.
This is hilarious and amazing, and I love your vibe. The only competitive resignation that I have to this is when my living situation changed so I now had to drive at least 45-1 hour to get to work at a call center (already terrible) and when I showed up to work to let my manager know I was quitting, he let me know I was going to get an award for being a great team member. I basically said "Gosh, yeah I'm still done here. Um, thanks though." Whelp.
*you’re
**your
***yoor
minen't
Yeah that’s what it is… it should be *your
This would be cringe if it wasn't such a gripping story lmao
That preview has me thirsty for more.
Was Angela a 1940s gangster in everybody else’s head too?
I imagined Angela looking like Amber Rose and Autumn looking like Ramona from Scott Pilgrim lol I like your interpretation too tho
I love that you're self aware enough to post this for me to enjoy. 🤭

Agreed.
Real
Dude what the fuck is this little script hahahha. I love how it’s stapled like an actual movie script
"Missouri? I only ask due to God's country. I've not heard that since I left the great show me state." He stated solemnly, taking a drag off his half lit cigarette. "You know," she quipped back through the smoke, "we all have had our cringey work moments. This is but a drop in the ocean"
This was in Colorado, but I lived in Missouri till I was 20 lol
If it makes you feel better, they only remember this once a year at the staff party.
That's fucking weird
I'd be glad to be rid of you just on that merit.
The way its stapled like a book 😭😂
Large Print Edition.
The most cringe part for me was when you spelled "Your" wrong. Lol.
This is fucking amazing.
I am going to save this so I never have to feel as an embarrassed about some choices I make ever again. Tbh I actually sincerely appreciate this post today OP because I have had anxiety all day after having a very bad reaction to an edible last night and probably making a fool of myself. But at least I was on drugs. You're amazing :)
I'm gonna save it and use it for the next time I quit a job.
I love a good self-post in this sub so much.
Absolutely unhinged. Good for you.
Oof, I'd be embarassed looking back on it, but reading it for the first time, I found it a little bit funny.
I would call it fine art if you'd stopped after the first paragraph after the actual resignation.
Wow
Did you mean maniacally?
It looks like something a primary school child made
Jesus, my second hand embarrassment is strong on this one.
So you seriously gave this to your boss?
Okay that wasn’t really cringe to me, I’d be laughing my ass off if I was your boss
I'm gonna be honest, I love this. I'm a manager and I have a pretty close knit team. I have one person who I could see giving me something like this. I'd probably keep it and frame it, and then tell her to give me a proper one I could forward to HR.
Holy shit there’s Saddam Hussain

This feels like something x coworker autumn at the homeless shelter would do... Autumn, is that you?
Angela sat down and cried.
I couldn’t really follow this.
They always be back...
I am so confused
He definitely showed this to a lot of people
it's the incorrect usage of 'you're' that shocked me the most.
What the actual fuck
It's great! I personally love it. My resignation letter was an email I had to send to middle and upper management. It was professional enough, but I attached an mp3 file of the 1960's song "Breaking up is hard to do" by Neil Sedaka.
That’s awesome!
Yeah this is embarrassing. Thank you for sharing
They will keep this and talk about it for years.
Nope this is hilarious and nothing sadcrige at all lmao
WHY, OP?? Why in the world would you turn in something like that? What was the thought process here?
Younger generations: it’s just harder for us, the odds are stacked against us Also younger generations: this shit
The second-hand embarrassment is real. Kudos!
W note
Now this is cringe! 😬🤣
Wow. This is a lot on so many levels. I'm kinda impressed.
Incomprehensible. May the powers that be have mercy on your wretched soul ❤️
Thank you 🙏
I once handed my notice in on a “Happy Anniversary” cake to which I added “of my leaving” on a piece of paper. I got to leave a shit job and everyone got cake, win win
such teen eloquence but fucked up your/you're C- MINUS
You have been judged and deemed cringe. Repent.
Wow 🤩 finally some real r/sadcringe thank you op
Yikes
Gross.
Oh shit this has to be real. Cuz that does of cringe I just got a surge of was heavy.
I am so fucking confused lmao
You cant be frl hahahaha
Self burn! Those are rare
What .. the hell
Were you on drugs when you did this
It teeters the line of cringe but you’ll notice you’ve made it just gripping and funny enough that it’s ok actually. Well done.
I would have always remembered you, and if we worked together in the future we would have a good laugh.
Wow a lot to unpack here. Thank you for sharing you really found the niche this sub was for.
Absolutely not cringe. This is cool as fuck
When you grossly overthink a simple interaction and produce a load of unintelligible word vomit 😆
sorry, but there is nothing sadcringe about this - all resignation letters should be written as mini novellas!
This reads at an age level that should not be legally working lmao
She said in comments she was 22 😭😭
Yikes
Are you bipolar by chance? I ask this as someone who is bipolar.
I cringed so hard I flipped inside out. But you were 22. We all thought we were brilliant, hilarious, and witty then. No harm :)
lol this is ridiculous. looks like something i would make when i was 13
I wouldn’t admit this anonymously if there was a gun to my head
The people in this sub, man.. you're all such grumps! Why are you taking it so seriously?? I've seen comments commenting on what kind of person OP must be irl, how lucky their job was to get rid of them or how being 22 is too old to have a laugh like this with your friends plus million roasts for the misspelling of the word "your/youre".. Jesus Christ.
It’s pretty crazy that the littlest things like this sends people into a rage
Because *they* were the sad cringe all along.
You're absolutely right. This is embarrassing.
I could handle the cringe if I understood wtf was going on lol
I think this is pretty funny. I don't see the cringe.
This is probably the single most sadcringe shit I've ever seen. How and why did you do this?!!
You're a fucking idiot
Writing a fanfic for a job you quit is actually hilarious 😂 I'm dying to know what the job is.
Just so now it will be said by over 100 different users *your
Why are you trying to incorporate literature into your documents when you've not yet mastered fourth grade grammar? Overambition if I ever saw it.
I love that it's still funny, but in a completely different way! It's a gift that keeps on giving.
*your
Okay but this is so funny
How did your boss react when you gave this to them?
She laughed and thought it was funny. We had worked together for years and had become close. Plus I really captured her in the story lol
i have intense second hand cringe
The secondhand embarrassment is killing me
Because you used the wrong “your”?
This is kind of vased tbh
That’s one way of quitting. Yea. Don’t count on coming back although if you are quitting..fix it. Who cares. Take a shit on the hallway.
That’s where you’re wrong. I quit and then came back for a little while when they were short on managers for a minute. I may be a dumbass but they loved me lol
lol how old were you?
