My Resignation Letter

Every story has its origin, and I guess the same can be said about resignation letters. Below is the letter that sparked this whole adventure and is the reason you’re here today. If nothing else, it offers you a tiny taste of the workplace rebellion waiting for you, courtesy of a Resignation Weekly subscription.

Taking My Talents to Resignation Letters

Dear My Soon-To-Be Former Employer,

It is with an elated and lifted heart that I announce it’s time for something new, and actually rewarding, for me. Effective immediately, I will be abandoning this modern form of indentured servitude to pursue a bold and most likely misguided venture: writing resignation letters for a living.

Why, you ask? Well, I crunched the numbers, and it turns out my chances of making more money crafting snarky goodbyes for strangers are marginally higher than what you called a “competitive salary.” That piece of creative writing in your job listing? Truly impressive work, but let’s be honest, calling it a salary is a stretch.

If I manage to earn enough from my latest reckless venture to cover my LinkedIn Premium subscription, I’ll declare it a resounding success. Dream big, am I right?

So, here’s the part of the message where I’m supposed to express gratitude for the opportunities for growth and the connections I’ve made at this job. Uh, yeah... sure. But if I’m being honest, I’m genuinely excited about the prospect of connecting with similarly disgruntled souls who share my penchant for office sarcasm and unfulfilled career aspirations. Maybe I’ll even inspire a few brave souls to type up their own “I quit” masterpieces. In a weird way, I guess I have you to thank for pushing me to the edge.

Oh, and before I forget—I’m keeping the stapler. Consider it severance.

Sincerely,
JT
