Let the fun begin: Yahoo auto resignation tool

June 21, 2008

In true Internet-foolery fashion, someone is having a little fun at Yahoo’s expense following its latest executive exodus.

By visiting the newly created site Yahoorezinr.com, current Yahoo employees can expedite their resignation to Yahoo Chief Jerry Yang with a host of Mad Libsstyle pulldown menus.

For example, the site reads: “It is with great ‘sadness/glee/self-interest’ that I ask you to accept this letter as my official resignation from Yahoo!

“As you know, for some time now I have been desiring ‘more time with my family/a more challenging position/you guys quit destroying all my net worth’ and thus I feel the time has finally arrived for me to ‘move on/take a new direction/tell you to go f*** yourself.’”

Though it seems like the site could have easily been created by a disgruntled Yahoo employee, Network Solutions Whois registration data points to a Mathew Honan, who could be a contributing editor at Wired. An e-mail to Honan was not immediately returned, so it’s unclear if it’s his creation.
