Do-it-yourself Yahoo Resignation Letter
Just came across the funniest website I have a seen in a long time. Yahoorezinr.com is a do-it-yourself Yahoo! resignation letter…yup all you have to do is pick who you want to send it to, what you want to say and sign your name. Then you just have to click send and it will be forwarded to Jerry Yang himself. The form gives you the option to me nice, mean or brutally honest…all depends on your experience working at Yahoo.
Here is an actual example of the letter that is sent out…

Dear Mr. Yang
It is with great glee that I ask you to accept this letter as my official resignation from Yahoo. My last day here will be tomorrow after which time I shall be taking a position with Google. As you know for some time now I have been desiring more time with my family and thus I feel the time has finally arrived for me to move on and of course I would not be forthright if I failed to mention how much it distressed me to see some of the moves management has made in recent weeks.
For example I found the recent advertising agreement reached with Google to be unwise. Furthermore as I have watched management squander once-valuable properties such as Flickr I have come to realize that management does not seem to fully understand social media. Thus, I am tendering my resignation as of today. If you would like me to sign a non-compete clause I will be glad to do so seeing as my new position is in a different market segment.
Sincerely
John Q. Yahoo

I actually choose some of the “nicer” and less vulgar options when it came to putting together the letter. Sadly, considering the moves Yahoo has made in recent weeks many people might feel some of the more risque options are completely valid. Plus, with all of the senior Yahoo people leaving recently this Yahoo resignation letter could come in handy.
Of course the big question is still where does Yahoo go from here?
- Yahoo writes love letter to shareholders, begs for forgiveness
