Dear Mr X,

As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic
expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an
intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your
consistent and annoying harassment of my co-workers and me during the
commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few
true genetic wastes of our time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of
everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a
waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I
know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to
provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly
attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as
binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why
people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you .........

You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in
others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked
for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn
it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring
ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae
that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of
the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to change without
you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my
resignation.

However, I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you
to give me a bad reference. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not
to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of
years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on
your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every
password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I
am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when
you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like
"Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the company.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother's
birthday," you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of
yourself in the mirror. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron
you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a
sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe
places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of reference. (Try to use a
spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the reference on my desk by 8:00 am
tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted
repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your
systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that free
time!

Wishing you a grand and glorious day.

If a person write this kind of resignation letter, it will come back to haunt the person. If I know of any person that write this kind of letter, the person will be forever blacklisted and never hire by me. This is highly unprofessional.

There are times and places that you do not joke about something. And, there are people that do not understand you do not put anything on a formal letter like a resignation letter that might harm you.

Once I know someone that is resigning from my company. He was putting in his two weeks notice and then he is going to a surgery while using his vacation days. But, he made a crucial mistake. He said I resigned on the letter as opposed to this letter served as two weeks' notice. So, he was out of the company on that day and he ended paying thousands of doillar of his own money for his surgery.

DO NOT TRY TO BE FUNNY WITH YOUR RESIGNATION LETTER.

Actually revenge can be done in various way.

For me, I will perform my job as best as I am able to make the boss solely depends on me. Only boss with no calibre will depend on subordinates entirely anyway.

Then, when the golden chance arrives, just give him letter and enjoy his face expression. That is my best revenge.

Success is the best revenge.

Writing that kind of letter will show either

A) you are stupid (Why the hell you leave some documented proof for your boss or ex-company to spread around the industry and bring you a bad name???)

or

B) unprofessional.

Either A or B is bad for you?? Why do you stick a knife to yourself??? Just be happy that you have left this horrible place and said nothing.

Success is the best revenge.

Does that mean you do not train anyone to do your job?? What happen when you are a senior person?? Do people want to work for you if you do not teach them anything?? Just because your boss is bad does that mean you will not teach any junior people?? You have to be bad too?

Just do your job the best you could!! Do not intentionally make the boss depends on you. A boss is lousy because he/she do not care whether the company will do well or not. So, if a person do not care how the company turns out, he/she is not dependent on anything.

Dreamer, Its been a long time since i've seen you active... smile.gif

Just to add, much as we hope to show people that the dept/company/colleagues cannot run without our talents involved, it just isnt right to hold back all your skills to yourself. Practice subordination, and teamwork and you will reap rewards of being respected in your own rights and feeling proud of it. Winning at work is very much about self-satisfaction through knowing you contributed selflessly.

oh btw - revenge is never good. just because someone treated you bad, that doesn't mean you have to revenge. just wish the person the best of luck in whatever he's doing and be on your way to a new career and be happy.

that 'old' boss that treated you badly could be a valueable ally some day, don't make him your worst enemy.

Haha..no lar, entire dependence just my exaggerated example only. I was and still not a senior, so don't have anybody to train. Actually last time our task distribution's nature is more vertical, means that more project specific, handling it from start to end, not like process specific kind. That time work load was high and we had severe shortage of manpower. So, one experienced guy's exit to him was like missing one hand.

Of course I understand your point about training young guys while we keep on learning.

Look look, if you think someone is going to be stupid enough to use that as a template for resignation, then that person deserves whatever he got from handing in those letter. And from what was written, it is very obvious it is meant to be funny.

You really should learn how to lighten up.

Spanker,

Unfortunately, I do know of many people that has no idea when to be funny and when to be serious. And, they do get into serious trouble for cracking jokes when they are not suppose to. Most of time that it happens when a person is under serious stress and not thinking straight. And, changing job is one of the most stressful situation in life.

Real life is stranger than fiction.
