Best Resignation Letter Ever Written

Best Resignation Letter Ever Written

Following is a supposed letter of resignation from an employee at a computer company, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon afterwards! It’s Funny, but a bit harsh

Dear Mr. Smith,

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, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will.

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 recommendation. 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 administration.

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 nude. 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 recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation 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 mess with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that free time!

Wishing you a grand and glorious day, Cecelia

About fifteen years ago I was put in charge of the hazardous waste communication program for the largest utility in Arizona. As part of my duties, I was to put together a training video that was to be used in safety meetings to train employees on how to handle hazardous waste.

I worked of and on for months on this video, whenever there was no work for anyone else, I always had a job to do to get this thing done. I finally got it done. I was going through editing the video, when low and behold; there was my "superior" dropping his pants on camera. You could say I caught him red-handed.;)

I was shocked, since I have never been one to be a voyeur for such behavior. Since it was a union shop, I got the Bull steward, (this was the smartest move I made on my part) who happened to be one of my best friends at work, and had her view the video. Let's just say SHE was a woman of experience. She laughed for fifteen minutes as she viewed and reviewed the video.

She called my so-called superior, and asked him to come into my little hole I was editing this video in. I showed him what I found, and this poor, dark complexioned guy turned white. It was the funniest thing I saw, and since it was on the leader of the video tape, we could not get it erased. We tried for 2 hours, and it just would not work. (Hey, I was being good, and not trying to hang the guy)

After a very long time trying to correct the, ahem, problem, he finally confiscated it. He, with the help of the manager of the department, erased it with a magnet.

You would think that would be where the story would end. Nope.

About two weeks later I got called in by the department that dealt with union employees. They actually had the head of the department there. That was the first sign that something was definitely wrong. I was grilled for nearly 4 hours on this video tape. I had been accused of sexual harassment. Finally, the bull steward, who was there as well, spoke up. She looked at the guy and point blank said, "Document the harassment, and then get a note from his doctor saying he was circumcised, and then we will talk." Of course the supervisor refused to get a note, since the guy in the video was uncircumcised, and presumably, he was, too, and it was totally dropped. The supervisor did walk around on egg shells when I was around after that. It was truly amazing the change in his attitude towards me.
