The time has come. You're finally quitting your job. Might as well go out with a bang! Don't worry, Even if you go a little bit overboard, what are they going to do? Fire you?

To highlight how satisfying it can be to leave your employer in style, Bored Panda put together a new list of people who just did. From making a meme to naming one of the urinals after themselves, here are some of the most creative "resignation letters" ever written.

#1

My Boss's Secretary Quit This Morning After Delivering Breakfast

To learn more about quits, we contacted Germany-based personal growth and career coach Trish Lee.

"There are numerous reasons why a person should consider leaving their job," Lee, who also creates content for Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, told Bored Panda. "For example, if they are surrounded by toxic colleagues (and they've tried to improve the situation by talking to their manager or said colleague but nothing changes), the company provides no continuous personal development opportunities, or their job isn't even something they want to do—maybe they got into it just to live someone else's dream. Or maybe they're offered a great long-term career opportunity elsewhere."

If someone is serious about quitting but aren't quite sure yet, Lee said it would be a good idea to start by simply considering the pros and cons of staying vs. leaving. "You can even write everything down on paper or an Excel sheet for better clarity!"

"Try to do some background checks on the new company if it fits your personal growth needs, financial needs, technical skills, future career goals, company culture (check reviews on Glassdoor, Kununu, and Google)," the career coach advised.

"If still in doubt, accept the invitation to go for an interview (for this, it's important to have a list of questions ready!). Clarify any doubts you may have about the new job or company background."

Lee highlighted that going for an interview doesn't automatically mean you're agreeing to the offer but it can provide valuable information and make your decision a lot easier. "It is just an opportunity for you to have a deeper understanding of the job and whether it suits you, while it gives the recruiter a chance to get to know you better if you suit the job—think of it like going for a first date! It doesn't mean you're gonna get married."

The personal growth and career coach reassured that when someone is good at what they do and believes in their capabilities, there will always be a stream of opportunities that will come their way.

But with that being said, Lee doesn't think that quitting your job on the spot is a smart move. "If you resign too soon but, for example, haven't got sufficient savings to tide you over the next few weeks or months until you find a new job, you are putting yourself in unnecessary stress."

"The interview process (from application to the actual interviews to signing a contract) can potentially take months in some companies!"

Unless, of course, you're in a really bad situation, like "the VP of your company or colleagues are sexually harassing you or bullying you in some horrible way. Which by the way, please report it to the police and consider sharing your experience online (Glassdoor, Kununu, and Google)."

At the end of the day, trust your gut. "Doing a job because of the salary is a good form of extrinsic motivation, but it can never give you true happiness and a sense of purpose," Lee said.

"When selecting a job, it is important to do something that gives your life meaning and joy (this is how intrinsic motivation and a sense of fulfillment is created). It really doesn't matter if that means being a bartender, a cashier, a hairdresser, an entrepreneur, an engineer, whatever. Your position or salary does not equate to your self-worth. This is a misconception many people have."

Your aim, according to Lee, should be to find a place where you are about 80% happy, leaving the rest 20% for possible minor inconveniences that both you and the company can work on in the future.

I hope these resignation letters will inspire you towards positive change.

The note says: "Due to the nature of my bills and the fact that I occasionally enjoy eating more than once per day, among other issues, I have accepted a position at another company. I have attempted to address these issues multiple times to no avail, so I feel it is in my best interest to take a new approach. They have requested that I start on December 29th, so my last day will be December 23rd, as I have prior commitments the 24th through the 28th. Thanks"

I Got The Offer To My Dream Job And Sent This Resignation Letter To My Division President And CC’d HR When I Quit On The Spot

The letter says: "I am resigning effective immediately. By the time I have sent this email I will have already dropped my laptop off with IT and probably left the building. I want you to know that the reason I am leaving is because you specifically have created one of the most toxic work environments I have ever worked in. I have never worked in an environment where I have had to defend someone from being fired because of their accent or because they had to miss work due to medical reasons. Both of which I have had to do with you. I have never worked in an environment where someone in management was so micromanaging as you yet knew so little of the actual work it takes to get those tasks done as I have with you. And finally I have never worked in an environment where I could be warning management of issues that prevent us from accomplishing our goals only to be ignored then be lectured when things go south because of the issues I tried to flag. 
I truly don't know how this division has not imploded due to the micromanaging and toxicity at the top levels and I will be very happy to leave."
