"In an age when nearly everything can be done from the convenience of your smartphone, we thought job resignation was an area that needed some attention."<p>CAN be done, but sometimes SHOULD NOT be done. This is a prime example of something that really shouldn't be done over a text.<p>Am I to infer the young kids nowadays like to burn their collective employment bridges more often than simply putting in their two week notice? The best advice I ever got from my Dad was never, ever, ever, ever, burn a bridge with an employer, you never know when you might need that job, co-worker, manager to help you out down the road.
This is the sort of thing professionals do in person.<p>More confusing to me, I don't even see the problem this app solves. If I wanted to quit without a face-to-face meeting I'd just send an email, text, chat, DM, PM, or letter. If I needed help phrasing it, I'd use Google. Am I missing something here?
Perhaps this is a clever attempt to apply natural selection to the employment pool: Anyone who uses this has voluntarily flagged themselves as someone you probably <i>shouldn't</i> ever consider re-hiring or recommending.
In lew of work, the "quit-your-job" app toys around with the idea of quitting without actually following through. Great idea for corporate zombies.
By what method would you then ask for a reference? Probably begging, or asking with an expensive bottle of alcohol. This seems to needlessly burn bridges.
