By what method would you then ask for a reference? Probably begging, or asking with an expensive bottle of alcohol. This seems to needlessly burn bridges.
Well, if you want to make absolutely sure you'll be blacklisted in whatever you're doing and don't want to commit a felony, this is definitely an option.
This is the sort of thing professionals do in person.
More confusing to me, I don't even see the problem this app solves. If I wanted to quit without a face-to-face meeting I'd just send an email, text, chat, DM, PM, or letter. If I needed help phrasing it, I'd use Google. Am I missing something here?
"In an age when nearly everything can be done from the convenience of your smartphone, we thought job resignation was an area that needed some attention."
CAN be done, but sometimes SHOULD NOT be done. This is a prime example of something that really shouldn't be done over a text.
Am I to infer the young kids nowadays like to burn their collective employment bridges more often than simply putting in their two week notice? The best advice I ever got from my Dad was never, ever, ever, ever, burn a bridge with an employer, you never know when you might need that job, co-worker, manager to help you out down the road.

Cardassian quotes aside, this is obviously a joke. I would be really surprised if someone actually used it to quit a job. Except maybe something like McDonald's
Perhaps this is a clever attempt to apply natural selection to the employment pool: Anyone who uses this has voluntarily flagged themselves as someone you probably shouldn't ever consider re-hiring or recommending.
