The Cake of Resignation

March 19, 2009

Maximum respect to Neil Berrett in the good old US of A who resigned from his job in the tastiest manner Guru has ever seen.

Berrett presented his 'Cake of Resignation' to sweeten his departure from Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco. Announcing his intention to leave the company in icing, he wrote:

Dear Mr. Bowers,

During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.

However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.

Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.

Sincerely,

W. Neil Berrett

Just one question: What type of cake was it?

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator and dispenser of workplace wit and wisdom. He was once an HR Director but is now the antithesis of good people management. He is right-leaning, most certainly politically incorrect and ever so slightly misogynistic. He is also lazy, married (to Mrs Guru) and refers to himself – as all self-important people do - in the third person.
