You're going to quit if you hate your job. You can either resign, give your boss a call, or have a couple of C-list celebrities tell your company for you.
After two years at a tech startup, RB felt disrespected. They didn't get a raise or promotion during their annual performance review, there was a reorganization of the company that left them low-spirited, and they just didn't want to work there anymore.
"If I hired Ghostface Killah to quit my job for me, it would be hilarious," said RB, who asked to not use their last name. I like to keep friends that are committed to the bit. We egg each other on until I did something.
If you want to hire someone famous to quit your job for you, you should use a service like Cameo, which allows people to pay for custom videos from celebrities. Users like Chris Diamantopolous, All Felt No Filter Puppets, Chris Sapphire, and the like have seen a 30 percent growth in job quitting requests over the past year.
Ghostface Killah isn't currently taking any requests, so he couldn't go that route. The Island Boys, twins from Florida who made their fame from TikTok videos of them singing and rapping, were available. The 35-year-old in Brooklyn, New York ordered a video from the Island Boys and asked the duo to quit. They posted it to a company-wide slack channel on Monday.
It's possible that Tweet has been deleted.
"We're letting you know that Robert doesn't want to work there anymore because they're island boys," the Island Boys said on the Cameo.
Their coworkers immediately responded with the island, skull, and affirming messages.
"I was thinking of chewing them out with it," he said. I thought it would be funnier to treat them like they were treating me, and the Island Boys were like, 'OK, you're gonna clown on me?' I'm going to clown on you. I feel like it said that I'm good. I'm not bitter.
It's not just because you're "sort of throwing a molotov cocktail on your way out" that using Cameo is a bold choice. The videos can cost anywhere from $5 to $2,500. The Island Boys' base rate is $200 right now, but RB says it's the best money he's ever spent in his life. What about the molotov cocktail of it all? RB is not worried.
They said that they bounce back from every stupid thing they have done. "And usually for the better."
Over the past year, we've seen this trend blow up. There are record numbers of people quitting their jobs. In August, 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs, or 2% of the workforce, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. They're quitting for a variety of reasons. The way we view our lives and the world has changed because of the Pandemic and remote work.
Everyone who isn't happy with their job can leave it and do it. We're hoping they will ask celebrities to do it.
