I Hate This Job And You!!

[Lorena]

The time has come... the shit will hit the fan when I submit my resignation tomorrow. What's hysterical is that after months of working my ass off, I finally get an assistant to help with my workload and I'm leaving them with a heap of paperwork. Too little, too late :rolleyes:

I'm always at a loss for words when submitting letters of resignation so I googled "resignation letter" and found the following:

Dear [Recipient's name]:

Yesterday I woke up and realized that this is the worst career experience I've ever had. Therefore, I'm officially notifying you of my resignation from [company name]. My last day will be today.

This company has many problems. [insert problems here]

On top of that, I can't stand to work for you any longer. You, alone, have been a constant source of pain and suffering for me ever since I started this job. I can't understand how you made it this far in the professional community.

Today is a great day for me. I will never have to see, hear or listen to you ever again. Goodbye, and good-riddance!

Warmest Regards,

[Your Signature]

Funniest thing I've ever seen!! Anyway, my supervisor is off tomorrow so I won't be able to submit my resignation to her, but to someone else... DAMN! Oh well.

I'm stoked to say goodbye to Phoenix and hello to Austin, TX! :cool:

[Lorena]

dola,

Oh, and no, I won't be submitting this as my resignation letter.

[stevew]

Funny, I debated using something similar at my last job. Instead I chose to ignore them and stopped going to work. Found a better job. Now those assholes know what it's liked to be ignored for a change.

[Lorena]

dola,

Or maybe I should go out ala Richard Nixon:

No resignation is complete without coffee getting thrown on someone.

[terpkristin]

DC,
Good for you! You've been having some issues lately, if I remember correctly, and I think that this is probably the best thing you could do for yourself!

/tk

[Bad-example]

The Half Baked resignation speech would be my first choice.

Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!

But it loses something when printed instead of spoken.

Good luck with the move!

[MacroGuru]

I gotta say the market must be picking up a bit where everyone is at as I am seeing more of these, I am leaving a shitty job to something better threads...

Congrats DC! Thats aweosme, and I love Austin, TX.....fun place to play (I don't know about living though)

[Eaglesfan27]

Congrats Dodgerchick.

[Qwikshot]

I would love to do that, but I can't walk away from 56k.

I once made a co-worker's resignation letter. She LIT me up. They actually put the damn thing in my file.

The deal was...I was training her, and she only lasted like ten days. Oh yeah SHE WAS A RAVING BITCH. She resigned but basically she was let go for writing a complaint letter to a senior VP, basically ripping him out for some things he had done, including chewing me out for one of her mistakes(actually my failure to double check her work).


To put the chewing out into perspective. Her mistake was to deposit a bank's cash reserves into the Federal Reserve account of another bank. So it was a pretty big deal. This senior VP(My Boss', boss', boss) walked into the data center called me into the server room, a separate room with glass walls, and explained the situation to me while all my co-workers looked on. I got the point. Anyway she was so pissed that he yelled at me, instead of her, that she wrote him a letter. I liked her so little that I didn't talk her out of it.

The funny thing is I can't remember exactly what it was that she complained about me in her resignation, just that she distinctly didn't like me.

[clintl]

I hope it's not standard practice in the banking industry to allow brand new trainees the access and opportunity to make that kind of mistake.

[Franklinnoble]

My advice? Just don't burn any bridges. Be professional about it.

[JeeberD]

I'm stoked to say goodbye to Phoenix and hello to Austin, TX! :cool:

We're looking forward to having the Meister clan here! :)

[Shkspr]

I would love to do that, but I can't walk away from 56k.

Dude, lots of places have upgraded to broadband by now. A couple hours on a high-speed line and you'll never go back to a dialup job again.

Damn, ya beat me to it.

Be careful what you wish for! :D

Edit: okay well maybe you don't truly wish it, but I am going to pretend you want us there badly.

[IMetTrentGreen]

[cartman]

Woot! Party at El Rancho Cartman once y'all get out here and get settled.

[JeeberD]

Ooooook then... :rolleyes:

[sachmo71]

A guy at my old job once compared his department to a Nazi death camp. Very entertaining.

[RendeR]

Ooooook then... :rolleyes:

Wish I could help you here Jeebs, but nothing I've ever seen of Texas makes his comments wrong. Texas sucks =)

You are very, very wrong.

All people from Buffalo see of Texas is the scoreboard, I suppose. Poor, poor Buffalo.

Gotta be better than the frozen wasteland called Buffalo... :p

Driving 28 years in Cali, I'm sure we'll adapt just fine.

[Lorena]

dola,

I've submitted my resignation from jobs more time than I can remember and each time has been very difficult so I was really nervous this morning. I gave my letter and left her office breathing a sigh of relief.

Now I fell like Hell Atlantic did a few weeks ago... I feel damn invincible!! Thank God it's over with. Now I gotta keep things as professional as possible for references in the future.

Insert sandwich joke here.

Ding ding ding.

Even if you've just won the lotto and never plan to work again, it is good to never burn a bridge. Not that you would need them again, but pissing off people, while enjoyable at the moment, can always lead to unintended consequences later... e.g., imagine if you move to a new job and love it and then the old boss you BURNED gets hired at your new job and maybe even becomes your boss again.

I have a very active imagination, but I'm sure this type of shit happens.

Even so... CONGRATS! I've always left my jobs for better employment, but have always felt horrible leaving because I felt like I was leaving them high-and-dry (but, I probably wouldn't have left if they compensated me properly :D)

GOOD LUCK DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

It's funny you mentioned the lotto thing because I thought the exact same thing.

Bah, some may deserve a good verbal thrashing. If your boss was a joke, don't be afraid to tell him. In fact, please do, he/she needs to be in his/her place. :cool:

[oliegirl]

Yay Dodgerchick! Congrats on the resignation :)

[FrogMan]

Good for you girl, good for you. I'm sure you remember my wife and her job situation from that good thoughts thread I started a while ago, well I'll be sending back good thoughts your way.

Best of luck to you in Texas! :)

Well played.

[RendeR]

Well played.


Actually, this is a strike out, as usualy Sachmo doesn't pay attention to WHOM he is speaking =)

I don't give a rats ass about buffalo teams, well ok i DO like the Sabres, but its a new era for them.

As for the Bills, blah, thats the wife's problem to live with ;)

That's funny to me. Coming from Phoenix and having lived in California, the traffic in Austin is nothing. Now I hear it is different in Houston, but Austin doesn't have traffic as far as I am concerned.

[IMetTrentGreen]

its all at the rush hours that last 3 hours each. thanks to our stellar state and city government, we have two and three lane highways to support a town that needs the same 4 and 5 lane highways other cities have. we've got to be on a very short list of cities that has a highway that gets down to one lane . . . into a stop light

they've started clearing out for the expansion project finally. to be completed in 2018

Sounds like someone who has spent too much time in Dallas ;)

SI

Yeah, the incredible slowness of the freeway expansion is rather annoying, but unless you have a house in one of the suburbs, the rush hours aren't anything compared to Dallas/Houston. Plus, there are enough back ways that, once you learn the city a bit, you should be fine. At least that's what I think and I've lived here my entire life.

You just described the greater Seattle area.

i live just north of disch-falk, so anytime i need to get anywhere in the afternoon, all i see is a wall of cars on 35. 15th street may have kept me from committing homicide

before that i lived in oak hill, so i had to deal with that 290 bullshit every day. since they built the mopac bridge over william cannon its easier to get back in there, but it does me no good now

all that being said, summer weather + college girls + barton springs = all worth it

[Lorena]

Adios TriWest and onto a new adventure... tomorrow is my last day. I feel like getting really smashed tomorrow.

[Ksyrup]

Maybe it's just because I'm one of those switching jobs around here so I'm noticing it more, but it seems like an awful lot of us are making job/career moves at the same time. Good luck!

Indeed. Good luck, Dodgerchick.
