The absurd notice got people thinking about labor laws, unionization, and the ways low-wage workers are consistently taken advantage of.

Even funner is getting your vacation approved, then turning in your notice. Thanks for letting me not even be here (they weren't going to pay out that vacay)

I got to do that once, being in a country where we get 5 weeks paid holiday every year. I hadn't taken any in a year and the boss tried to take the piss so I explained that I wouldn't be working my notice and left.

That was back in the day when jobs were easy to come by. So I got eight weeks pay the following month.

Company disappeared off the internet three months later.
