Popular culture is full of scenes involving highly public and dramatic resignations.
Who can forget Jerry Maguire walking out on his high-powered sports agent job to start his own shop? Or Jennifer Aniston’s character Joanna quitting her waitressing job at Chotchkie’s after one too many reminders about her flair in the movie Office Space? Or the Johnny Paycheck song “Take this Job and Shove It”?
