Badass grandma quits job with brutally blunt notice letter

You go, Marlene.

Everyone who's ever worked in a bad job will have dreamed of handing in a notice letter like this one.

Not many people are as brave as Marlene, though.

On Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrory from Glasgow, Scotland, shared a picture of what she claims is the letter her grandmother handed in when leaving her job.

"Yee Ha".

Obviously we have no way of proving that Marlene's letter isn't just a glorious fabrication -- McGrory could always have typed the thing herself for sweet, sweet internet points after all (we've reached out to her on Twitter and will update this article if we receive a response).

We like to think that Marlene's letter is the real deal, though, and that even now she's out there somewhere in Glasgow, being a total badass.
