Everyone quits a job at some point in their life, even if it's just from the lemonade stand you started in elementary school when you realized it was too hot to sit on your neighborhood sidewalk all afternoon to only make 10 cents each glass — that's in the early 90s; we're not factoring in inflation, here.
This week has surfaced two stories the social media-sphere can't stop talking about. First, Steven Slater blew his gasket, grabbed some cold ones and high-tailed it down the emergency slide on a JetBlue flight after being provoked by a disgruntled passenger. Then, "Jenny" won our hearts when she quit her job dry erase board style and exposed her FarmVille-playing boss, only to crush our hopes and dreams the next day when
actress Elyse Porterfield revealed it was all a hoax put on by theCHIVE.com.
This inspired us here at 352 Media Group, and when we get inspired, we like to give stuff away. In honor of these two noteworthy rebels, we have a free webcam up for grabs to the young whippersnapper who best answers this question: How would you quit 352 Media Group?
Would you steal all of our computer wires, fashion a slingshot of sorts and catapult yourself out the door with the Rocky song playing in the background? Would you replace our
homepage's current flash video header with one of
you publicly announcing your departure to anyone who visits our site? Would you hack into our CMS and create a slideshow detailing, image-by-image, your final steps (and what office supplies you stole) from the building?
Whatever it is, we want to hear it — and see it. Starting now until the end of August, post a comment on this blog post, comment on
our Facebook wall, or follow and @ us on
Twitter with how you would quit 352 Media Group. The most disgruntled honorary employee with the most dramatic, imaginative or just downright ridiculous method will win a free webcam. Don't worry if the logistics for your quit method of choice are far from realistic; we just want to see what you can come up with. Pictures or videos will earn you massive brownie points in your quest. We'll be announcing the winner via our blog, Facebook and Twitter on September 1, 2010.
And no, current 352 Media employees are not eligible to participate because we all know we love our job too much to quit, anyway.
Happy quitting!
