'Here's something sweet to remember me': Employee quits, announces departure on cake, internet drags him

Some may call this going out in style and some may call it missing the point. The idea of announcing your two weeks' notice to your office via red velvet cake is fun in theory, but let's start our analysis of why this didn't work with the fact that the bakery in question did a horrible job with the spelling and grammar. Since the announcement is kind of the whole point of the cake, the misspelling is kind of significant. 

 

Next, let's discuss what several folks pointed out in the comments section below: this Redditor fully paid for this cake himself, rather than on the company's dime (which, of course, would have been far more empowering). Finally, there's the fact that two weeks' notice is more than generous to one's coworkers. Now, you're also giving them a cake?! Talk about faux self-empowerment!
