We’ve all been there: stuck in a dead-end job, just waiting until the clock hits five so you can get the hell out of there.
It’s a shitty feeling when you realize that your dream gig may not be so dreamy after all. However, it doesn’t get easier once you make the decision to leave. Breaking up is hard to do, whether it’s with a clingy significant other or your boss who sends emails at all hours of the day.
If you’re struggling to find the right way to tell your employer that it’s over, we have some hilarious ideas courtesy of late-night comedy show @Midnight. Their latest trending hashtag, #QuitYourJobin5Words, is taking Twitter by storm, with users sharing their short and sweet resignation lines.
While we can’t say some of these lines will go over too well with your boss, they are pretty hilarious. Like this one, which is apologetic but also tells your boss how you truly feel.

I mean, I don’t see how you can expect me to work eight hours with zero nap breaks. This is really unacceptable.
