You may hate your job. You may want to quit. You may want to look to do it with some class… as these upcoming examples show, the impression can last a long time.

1. Bikini Girl Inspired Me to Quit

Kevin Nalty, who used to be the consumer product director for Propecia at Merck Pharmaceuticals, used American Idol and his bare chest to leave his job in order to pursue an online video career. While Big Pharmaceutical to YouTube might sound like the worst career move ever, after viewing his resignation video, we have to think the US Health care system got the best of that transaction:

Last night Katrina Darrell sang Mariah Carey’s “Treated Me Kind” on American Idol 2009. Her song inspired me to quit the full-time job as a Product Director at Merck. Thanks to my Merck friends and co-workers for tolerating me!

I was the consumer marketing director on Propecia for hairloss. Shut up, okay? You should see my brother’s hairline.

Gotta do what you love, and trust the money to follow. Should have listened to that advice right out of school. Not too late for some of you.

Full steam ahead in video “entertaining,” and helping brands engage in social media and video… via Hitviews and via my own consulting firm to be announced next week!

Seriously- thanks so much for watching and subscribing, since I couldn’t afford to do this without some income from the ads you watch.

2. Star Wars Naked Guy

Sometimes the best way to say “I’m leaving” is by waving around a naked penis. Or by filming a video using the Star Wars crawl to describe how you would have sex with everyone in the office, and then waving around your naked penis obscured by a clown face. OK, that’s never the best way to say anything, but don’t tell that to this guy:

As he puts it “Thank you Emakinian”:

3. Manager with a [bad] song:

If you’re going to quit, you might as well do it in front of a bunch of people so somebody can describe you in detail to the police. The below Moe’s manager decided to dance to “Ice Ice Baby,” a song that somehow expressed his desire to pursue better employment with lyrics like, “the girls were hot wearing less than bikinis,” and “wax a chump like a candle.”

4. Intentionally Poor Performance Review: The writing may be on the wall… and in some cases, the writing may be literal,

but failing a performance review is another bad way on which to leave a job:

5. Bombing the computer network: There is a fine line between brilliance and stupidity, way number five will definitely leave you without a future reference.
