resignation

Lapeer County Animal Control Chief, Carla Frantz, resigned her position last week. Frantz, 43, hired into animal control in 1994. She began as a kennel officer, was promoted to road officer, and in May of 2012 she replaced Walt Rodabaugh as chief.

In one fell swoop, the director of the Lapeer Downtown Business Association, the president and the treasurer, all resigned their positions this week. Mary Jo Wenzlick, the DBA director for the past seven years, and a huge advocate for the business district, resigned over the workload, time constraints, and income challenges from the job.

Some people leave their jobs on good terms, keeping their friendships (and, of course, future references) intact, while others come up with clever ways to burn every possible bridge between themselves and their soon-to-be former employers. But Karen Cheng chose to combine the two, making a cute video of her rewrite of Don McLean‘s ‘American Pie’ to give her notice at Microsoft.
