The jetBlue flight attendant has been given special star status by thousands of America’s lowest level employees and secretly applauded by others.  But, he really didn’t quit his job, he just lost it and turned against his customers and stole some beer.  What other knucklehead company would hire him and risk the same?

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything in life.  Quitting a job because your boss is a nut, or the job sucks, or pays too little or whatever, is not justification for being a baby.

The Huffington Post is offering visitors the opportunity to post their great ways to quit their jobs – but, we’re looking for your ideas on great ways to find a job and even more great ways to keep a job in this economy.  YouTube is fun, but will most likely not pay your rent.  So, watch the videos, but be careful of who is watching you. 

Jenny

She apparently got America’s attention by “quitting” her job via dry-erase board and filming it.  Not really original and unfortunately, most recruiters won’t be impressed.

An Unnamed IT guy

He quit his job by creating an error message.  With this kind of talent, it’s too bad he couldn’t make the job work, but hacking your own company doesn’t look good on your resume.

Doug

He’s “That Guy With The Glasses” who opened his shirt to a sign on his chest reading that he quit and danced his way through the business on film.  He should have considered face paint to make sure his next interviewer doesn’t recognize him.

A programmer

Another hacker quit his job by creating a Mario flash game for his employers to play. With each score, the words “I QUIT!” flash on the screen. Nothing else needs mention on this one.

Bookstore Guy

He wanted to quit his job at Borders and as the 7th Harry Potter book was nearing release, he filmed himself revealing the much-anticipated plot. What did Harry Potter have to do with him disliking his job?

Radio Rap

Others are offering radio channels their own forms of “I quit rants.”  Enough said about commercial radio, talk radio.

If you’re going to quit, please do.  We need the space to find jobs for countless others who have been looking for a long time, need to pay their bills, feed their families and save their homes from foreclosure.

Tomorrow:  what to look for in a resume writer.
