I love THIS, and not because they’re quitting Google, but because it closely resembles how I quit Sears Portrait Studio eight years ago.

Unhappy with the direction Google was taking their company, Dennis Crowley and Alex Rainert quit by posting a photo of themselves on Yahoo-owned Flickr with thumbs down and scowls on their faces.

When I quit Sears Portrait Studio, I took a much more intimate approach, I took pictures of myself flipping off the camera, holding signs that read, “This job sucks,” and one in which I pretended to burn a customers portraits. At the time, I wasn’t expecting anyone to see the photos but when that roll of film was sent off to be developed, a firestorm unraveled.

From what I later heard, my photos made it all the way to the VP’s desk. Yikes, I wasn’t planning that. Now, I’m banned from working at a Sears Portrait Studio for life, not that I’d want to go back there anyway.
