My Dream Resignation

While the lovely Diva is out dirtying some laundry, she has graciously allowed me to step in and write a guest post.  I’m not really using my “real name” in case some of my friends or co-workers come looking for me here.  Not that they follow me in a strange stalker way but they do follow my blog.  They wouldn’t figure out that I’m one of the diva’s top commenters and one of her biggest fans.  Only you all are smart enough for that.

So…on with my letter of resignation I wish I could deliver…

Dear Asswipe Boss Man;

Since the “Reduction in Workforce” of June, I have noticed a significant impact in the office morale.  I have been overall quite impressed with the willingness of the staff to step up and fucking kill themselves do what it takes to get the extra work done, and yet they don’t cry publicly complain.  It is this teamwork, and winning attitude, that makes me proud to be a part of it.

I myself have been logging 13-14 hour days, working weekends, and essentially taking it in the fucking shorts doing everything I can to get through the workload.  It is the efforts of my fellow team members that keeps me from losing my mind motivated with a positive attitude.

My primary concern what the hell are you thinking, however, is that the timing of the “Top Employer in the City” surveys may be coming in at a bad time and faced with fuck you some opposition.  When you send us 3 reminders a week, reminding us how important it is to the company that we all log in, take the survey, and lie tell everyone what a wonderful place you are to work, it might send the message to the staff that you’re an ungrateful moron you might not be properly recognizing the efforts they are putting forward.

I feel compelled to kick you in the junk caution you that perhaps the results of the survey might be (hosed)skewed a bit.  Your expectation that we take it in the shorts and send you a thank you card to boot be in a position to write unbiased reviews about the company and not reflect on the fact that you don’t give a rat’s ass give a rat’s ass, is not helping the situation.

I very much appreciate your willingness to not write me up for my verbal vomit with the HR Manager last week.  If you care to discuss this matter further, please try to ask around.  The expressions I revealed  are not shared by just me alone.

At this point in time, I respectfully tender my letter of resignation.  I am moving on to a company who doesn’t annoy the shit out of me have to be reminded of the importance or value of having a team willing to do the job of many that they’ve been given.  THAT is what should be considered important to the company.

Thank you for the learning experience, and the friends I’ve made along the way.

Sincerely,

G-Bug

  1. Ah, the joys of writing a dream resignation letter. Just be sure that you don’t accidentally leave it up on your computer screen!

    I always found those employee surveys to be a waste of time. In one of my old offices, the higher ups hand picked the people who were to complete the survey. Of course, only the brown nosers and toadies completed the survey with excellent comments and high praises for the big cheese. Since there were never any critiques, business went on as usual.

  2. Dingo~ I’m sorry, I didn’t come back here and respond to your comment, which I always do on my site.

    Yep…the surveys are crap.

    Even on questions where I wanted to be realistic, I tried to think of my immediate team and ended up with a higher score than the company would have received.
