Best Resignation Letter You've Ever Written...

[sixfan]

I'll start,

there's heaps of competition for good geologists at the moment in the mining industry, it wasn't always so....

I got lots of letters when I started out, thanks for applying...b;ah blah...tough competition...blah blah....

anyways the tables have turned, check out this old one I used while working for a bunch of twits in Kal:

It is with some regret that I am informing you that in this instance, you have been unsuccessful

In remaining my employer, I appreciate the efforts that you have gone to in the attempt to secure

my continued employment, however the competition for the role of acting as my employer has been quite

fierce. Please do not feel that this in any way prejudices me against any future applications on

your part to secure the position as my employer and your records shall be kept on file for future reference.

Best of luck in your efforts to build a professional, efficient and profitable mining company,

you’re going to need it

Bridge burning at it's best.

I've never actually written a real one....and no Grungee that's not because I get the sack!

Have received a few classics in the past though!

Did a bit of a joke on my boss last year.

"Although

I

'm ever so grateful of all that

...

I

'd just like to inform you that you are retarded"

Luckily she's got a good sense of humour or it could have gone pear-shaped!

the first post is gold

that's funny stuff!

I have written one before I kept it short and sweet!

One of the chiefs thought I wasn't serious when I told him I was leaving, he said if ya serious you will write it on paper and sign!

"im like write what" im leaving? and he like yeah

So grab a fine piece of paper out of the laser copier wrote my name and imn leaving and signed it and that was it!

I wish I had a camera to take a pic of his face when I handed the piece of paper over!

if my operations manager continues his attempt of reducing my long service leave accrual by 2 years I will have a fairly sarcastic and borderline slanderous one to post hahah

Getting ideas mick?

never sent this one. Opted for "the quiet exit"

During my time working at this site, I have endured three wet seasons, budget cuts, board interference

with programs, constant harassment to produce results “quicker” and being

paraded in front of investors and bankers like a trained monkey. This place is inflicted with more nepotism

than a Bengalese carpet shop and strategic planning occurs based on whim.

Indeed I do find this job challenging, it’s a challenge not to tell my co-workers who come to me ready to quit

that they’d be better off elsewhere and it’s a challenge to try and get my point across without having to

threaten to leave every second day.

My advice has been constantly questioned, argued with or just ignored. Expectation levels are so high,

you’d need to climb a waste dump to even see the top and alternatively, the drama, panic and fear

spawned by minor mishaps rivals that caused by the Mongol invasion. I’m constantly second-guessed

by a sheep farmer who’s sheep have more honesty and integrity than he does and a geologist

who is so old that when he looks at the Proterozic, it’s with fond memories of it’s deposition.

To top this lot off, you’ve appointed a Perth Office Parasite to be in charge of me who

wouldn’t know “rise mining” from “Plummeting Shareprice.”

The company option plan is so far away that astronomers have seen it and named it the 10th planet, “Dubious”

and when I read “Dilbert” alas, it’s no-longer with a feeling of ironic familiarity but with jealousy

as I compare his lot with mine. Indeed I do have options, in fact two , these are to leave or stay and go insane.

I choose life
