I think all of those are great ideas, especially the cake.
If I understand this correctly, this guy went the extra mile to help the company he's leaving make a smooth transition. They "thank" him for his past performance and his willingness to make the transition smooth by essentially cutting him off.
That sounds like a company _I_ want to work for.
If I were him, I'd just walk after learning a valuable, albeit tragic, lesson about the corporate world. And I'd make sure the Tender Vittles made it into the Chex Mix on my way out.
