Want to greet your mother on Mother’s Day? Hallmark is there. Feel like writing a sentimental birthday card for a friend? Hallmark is there. Looking for a nice way to congratulate your cousin on graduating from college? Hallmark is there. It’s like they’re stalking you or something…
Apparently, Hallmark isn’t stalking Todd, or he would have found the right card to break the news to his boss. We do have to appreciate Todd’s ability to deliver his message in such a thoughtful way despite him not finding the right card to do it with.
Mourning Shift
Here we are thinking Hallmark cards were no longer a thing that people actually purchased. Well here comes the greeting card revival! If you're thinking of resigning then why not pop into your local store and grab the nearest grievance card? Bam! You've got yourself an effective yet hilarious way to quit.
It has all the creativity of a hilarious resignation with MINIMAL effort. Just sit back, relax and let the card do the talking!
Homer Humor
We didn't think freedom had a color until we laid our eyes on this joyful note. Now it's clearer than ever that the color of freedom is Simpson yellow. If we were fancy art critics, we would say that this piece makes wonderful use of a pop culture reference to demonstrate the weight of corporate life doomed to be carried by common workers. But we're not, so we won't.
We commend this person for using the company printer as the last hurrah before leaving. It is simple, funny, sophisticated, and perfectly delivers how happy this employee must be to tell his corporate job to kiss his behind goodbye.
Tough Cookie
Grace's mom is a role model. Not just for Grace, but for anyone who feels like they've had enough of their abusive boss and his diabolical minions. These giant cookies and the vibrant design on them are the perfect way to let her superiors that her spirit isn't broken and that she's off to a better future.
In the words of Fountains of Wayne, Grace's mom has got it going on. Thanks to Grace's tweet, the whole world is about to know that too. Where can we enlist in Grace's mom's army? We promise to serve and protect her at all costs.
Me Three
So here is how we imagine the legend behind these two cakes: Once upon a time, there were two people — let's call them Purple and Violet. Purple and Violet worked together in the same drabby call center for a year, constantly denying their feelings for each other.
When Purple found out that Violet was planning on leaving, his world collapsed. He realized that her absence would make his work and his life unbearable (a tad dramatic but that's the way we like it). He immediately confessed his love, much to her delight. The two got matching quit-cakes and started a small basket weaving business. Needless to say that they lived happily ever after.
