An "Ohhhh SNAP" Resignation - Girl Quits Job on [Viral] Dry Erase Board

This is pretty awesome:

Jenny, a broker's assistant, quit her job yesterday by sending a company-wide email with photos of her resignation letter written in a series of hilarious dry erase board posts (Huffington Post). I've included a few here, but check out the full letter at The Chive.

There's speculation over whether this is a publicity stunt; The Huffington Post reported today that the guys behind The Chive post were responsible for a fake Donald Trump story in 2007... 

Besides being hilarious, the kicker - that "Spencer" aka the a**hole boss in question, spends 19.7 hours a week on Farmville - illustrates the recent findings from Nielsen's "What Americans Do Online" report.  Nielsen reported last week that Americans spend one third of their time online playing games and social networking.

Nielsen "What Americans Do Online"My bet is that this is a stunt by a media company, promoting the prevalence (and value) of social gaming today...  Apparently The Chive will reveal more tomorrow.

What do you think??

Farmville, anyone???

Hoax confirmed!

The Chive and Tech Crunch (among many others) are confirming that Jenny was indeed a hoax, brought to you by brothers Leo and John Resig (who run The Chive and were also responsible for the Trump Tip Hoax and the Teen text Disaster Hoax).  All of these pranks have targeted mainstream media.

They targeted Tech Crunch because they wanted to get a write up, and claim that they did it just to see if they had it in them.  And for the thrill of creating something incredibly viral while the rest of the world was asleep (it was posted on The Chive at 4:30am).

**Thanks LC for the Tech Crunch Tip!!
