What a fantastic week for quitting your job!
Did you hear about the JetBlue guy who popped the emergency exit and jumped? Yer doin it WRONG, dude!
Or how about the “hottie” who quit on her chauvinistic boss by calling him out via a clever set of photographed white board cue cards? (See sample below.) Yer doin it RIGHT, “Jen!”
For the first few slides, you may think that “Jen” is just another entitled Millennial who “doesn’t get it…” but stick with it. I think she “gets it” just fine…
…and bosses who don’t think that there are more “Jens” coming are in for just as rude awakening as her former boss, Spencer.
So, upshot: There will always be people like Steven the flight attendant around. Whatever. But “Jen?” She’s a new breed.
You have been forewarned.
UPDATE: You have earned yourself a reprieve: Jenny, as of the current moment, is fictional. Which bums me out. She coulda been somebody… she coulda been a contenda.

jason, i don’t get where the jetblue guy’s doing it wrong. he calmly asked the passenger to wait to take down his suitcase. the passenger cursed at him. he went to close the overhead compartment. the passenger’s luggage hit him in the head and slater asked for an apology–which he didn’t get. then, admittedly, slater went a little above & beyond in his quitting. but so did jenny. i think they both did what most of us only dream of doing.

@Fran—(1) The guy got himself arrested on a felony charge. That’s a pretty big FAIL in my book. (2) The guy flipped. He wasn’t in control. Jen, the gal with the whiteboards, took a calculated risk. She knew what she was doing… it could work out great, it could blow up in her face. But the risk she took was measured.
Apparently Jenny didn’t really quit – wasn’t even named Jenny (http://thechive.com/2010/08/11/a-word-from-jenny-16-photos/?obref=obinsite) but the flip side is that it it was such a great story that we all want to be that person…
@Mo—yep. I saw that… hence the update on the post that I put up the morning of 8/11!
