Allegedly, the above photo is one of thirty-three that a woman named Jenny emailed to her co-workers as her resignation letter. Her boss, Spencer, installed Internet usage monitoring software on the company's computers. Jenny had access to it, so she decided to let her co-workers know what Spencer was looking at on the Internet.

UPDATE: It's a hoax.
If you don't like your boss there's no need to be asshole about it.
Sorry but this person seems to not have been clever enough for the job she charmed her way into.
Hope she finds a job that doesn't tax her beautiful mind.
Plus she's young and pretty so, she'll get along just fine.
All the comments on the original post on TheChive and the repost on Mashable are in favor of this young lady. 4/5 comments on Neatorama are negative... XD
You be Trollin folks!
D work just fine for coworkers who know who you are.
Regardless of how she sounds, I bet you money her boss is no prize either.
If it gets enough press, she'll get a modeling contract or something. Maybe with careerbuilder.com, hahaha...
Doesn't matter if her boss is an idiot - she just showed her lack of class.
And maybe this appeals to a different demographic than Neatorama readers. Just calling everyone who doesn't agree with your attitude a troll is trolling in itself.
Same principle. She probably enjoyed it lifted the idea.
Why do this over email? Well, facial expressions for one thing. They deliver more of what you are actually feeling.
I side with her. Burning a few bridges along the way isn't the smartest thing to do, but sometimes it's the right thing to do.
I've been in workplaces equally as degrading for different reasons, and there has been at least one that I walked out on in the middle of a meeting (rehired by someone in that meeting at a later date in a different division).
I suppose for me I wonder just how bad the abusive environment is that she felt that doing this was only appropriate level of response to the situation. I've watched people who would have easily been justified with this level of response leave normally with a resignation letter and then get treated like they were being fired, so for those of you here lucky enough to work somewhere that's decent enough that you find this to be a hyperbolic overreaction just count yourselves lucky that you're not in a place that makes you ever feel like this is the level of response necessary just to leave.
You don't seem too bright, yourself. Frame 16 clearly shows her "shaking" the letters around to correct her boss's mistake. And I'm pretty sure she would know whether he meant "hot piece of ass" or someone of mixed race by the context in which he said it.
"If it were real there would be no need for the pictures."
She decided not to use regular e-mail and instead to be a little more creative, despite the "need" to do so, therefore it's fake? Critical thinking seems to have abandoned the Internet.

This is great for this girl's acting career. She is super beautiful, and she did the expression's really well. If it was real I would say she was a hero, hehe, but too bad. The main thing that tipped it off with a fake feel was that the set in the background and the dry erase board was too sterile, like what you would find in a home store display mock-up or a set on tv. And the girl's make-up was too well done.
One thing that made it seem real was how she actually is dressed pretty unstylishly, which tends to be a pattern with really smart girls who might execute something like this so well, and I wonder if they did that unstylish dressing on purpose or not.
As for the hoaxers, they really sound like wankers. I definitely don't plan on ever visiting thechive or whatever it is again after this or bothering to find out what the site is about. It would be more fun if it was just something this girl came up with to advance her acting career. They got a bit lucky with the girl, imo, who looks both unusually beautiful and sort of girl next door in these pictures, and that visual aspect is the main thing that made the pictures so popular. Almost all the comments on thechive about the photos were posted by men, hmmm.....
(I wonder if folks would have detected the fraud earlier, if she were less attractive...
I mean, an Internet tracking system that would distinguish Farm* from Facebook in general? Sure, it could be done, but does anyone do that?
A Blond with an entitled atttitude trying to prove to the world she is smart and a "hopa" or "hufa" or whatever it is, also par for the course,someone ring a bell.
Nothing interesting here folks.
No, I simply dismiss faulty reasoning for concluding that something is fake.
