Two Weeks’ Notice:

Operation: Let Them Eat Cake! Put A Cake On Your Boss’s Desk!

Recruits: Deliver a delicious treat frosted with revolution! Put a piece of cake on your boss’s desk and write a PFM slogan on the napkin. Snap a picture!

Examples of PFM slogans include, but are not limited to: “Vive les Employees!” “Please Fire Me!” or the ever-popular “F*ck The Boss!”

The best cake photos will be featured on PFM. The recruit’s submission that “takes the cake” will be announced Monday. The winning chef of la underground will receive a signed copy of Please Fire Me: Posts from the Revolting Workplace.

Submit photos through one of the following: PFM Tumblr, PFM Facebook, or @PleaseFireMe on Twitter.  Do not mail them in. The PFM Revolution has no address—our last meeting was held in a middle school bully’s tree house.

Companies take advantage of your need to eat. Cafeterias have become profit centers, and taking clients out to lunch has become like taking a lady on a date pre-feminism: you’re definitely paying. Meanwhile, your boss is brainstorming with her spa pedicurist and taking the company AmEx to the artisanal steakhouse for a quick power-filet, which synergized nicely with the pinot noir.

This cake will let your boss know that when the walk-out comes at lunch on May 6th for #PleaseFireMeFriday, she will get her just desserts.

Thank you for your cake photos; it doesn’t matter what baked good you use—cupcake, fancy muffin, carrot cake—these are all weapons of our workplace revolution.
