Oh a gift to the boss for allowing you to have this opportunity would be the cherry on top.
and also: you just got diagnosed with cancer but your doctor thinks you’ll be okay because your employer provided health insurance is going to get you the medicine you need to beat the cancer.
While simple, it can honestly be kind of fun to just go in and let them know. When I was recently laid off, it went something like this.
HR: “I know this might be a shock–”
Me: “Yeah, you’re letting me go, I know. Here’s my work laptop and badge, I’ve got all my stuff in a box outside, what do I sign? Trying to catch the next train home, so I have like 20 minutes.”
It totally threw off my boss and the HR lady trying to do their sombre, dignified thing, and was pretty funny to watch.
