Jarrad Farbs quit his job by creating a playable Super Mario Bros resignation letter
How do you break the news to your coworkers that you’re leaving your job at a major game studio to pursue indie development? With a game, of course.
Jarrad Farbs decided to leave his position as a developer at 2K Australia in order to take up independent game development full-time. But he wanted to let people know about his upcoming departure in a memorable, yet legal and non-horrifying, way.
He stayed up all night working on his resignation, a short, playable Flash game featuring Mario delivering the news along with a very nice farewell message. “Thank you 2K Australia!” the game says at its conclusion. “You gave me a paycheck, an incredible project and a world-class team to learn from. But my princess is in another castle.”

Brilliant
Great!
buggy game, should have stuck with his day job, or maybe not
I really appreciated the epileptic "I quit" message and dance party at the end. hahah… Although I'm sure those who are really epileptic will very much not enjoy this. You should probably provide a warning for them.
This was just awesome. Talk about laughing all the way.
Cute. Don't use it as a resume.
Awesome! If only I had the know-how to do that…
