If only I had the balls...

A Letter of resignation that I think we've all wanted to hand in at some point or another!!

**Naughty words contained within**


Dear Fuckwits,

    Please take this as my letter of resignation.  I will work my 4 weeks notice; that is unless, of course, you escort me off the premises, with nothing more than my shredded employee pass and a “fuck you very much” for my 10 years of service.

I would like to take this opportunity to explain some of the reasons for my departure:

1. Management are nothing more than a bunch of little Stalin’s and slimy apple polishers with little more than a primary school education between them.  I am not a smart man but even I think their retarded.

2. If management insist on treating us like children, well, we’ll just have to act like them, hence the reason I keep crayons on my desk.

3. If the aim of the company was to make sure each member of staff felt devalued, disillusioned, and just depressed to fuck, then they succeeded.  Well done – maybe another bonus is in order – arseholes!

4. When the company decides to go on a cost cutting exercise, enforcing an overtime ban will not help.  In fact this has the reverse effect.  When a minion does overtime they are billing the client, thus making you more money.  This is the aim of any good business – it’s very simple – the more we work, the more money we make for this evil corporate shithole.

5. If the management think that scheduling our breaks individually, will make us more productive, they are being more mentally devoid than usual .  We enjoy taking our breaks together – it’s relaxing and fun.  When you’re left to sit in solitude for your entire lunch break its boring.  This will also not stop us bitching about the company – we’ll just do it in the office instead when we’re supposed to working.  Please remember; freedom of speech is our birth right – you can’t take it away, no matter how hard you try.

6. Also I would like to take this time to let you in on a secret.  People with degrees should not automatically be revered like the second coming of Christ.  I don’t care what degree they have, they still can’t do my job unless I train them to do it.  So please, the next time you employ a grad student, remember to pay them less than me or I won’t train them properly.  Why should I part with my hard earned knowledge to some butt fucker on double my wages?  I say fuck that and fuck you – god I hate this multi-national tin pot company.


    Here ends my reasons for leaving this company.  My time spent here hasn’t all been a waste though; I now have ample supplies of post-it notes and marker pens.  I’ll be fucked if I know what to do with them mind you.

    Also, I would like to specifically thank the Hitler wannabes in this corporation; they have made my life hell, but funny as fuck.  There’s nothing like watching a sexual frustrate, balding, incompetent, power hungry, Nazi weirdo shout at you as if you give a fuck.  His face getting redder and redder as I sit there trying not to piss myself laughing like some overgrown naughty school boy.  If that ain’t funny then I don’t know what is.

Finally I would like to take this time to share my personal motto with you.  It’s simple and sums up everything about me:

THE MAN DON’T GIVE A FUCK.

Goodbye…
Don’t call…
Burn in hell...

Sincerely



Employee No: 14152020

Jeez, it would be nice wouldn't it. A lottery win and a completely free resignation letter. No come back, no worries. 
 
Enjoyed your rant, made me laugh. Thought you let them off lightly in one or two areas, though.  
 
Needs a proof read.

They do say the best revenge is, living well. I suspect you wouldn't totally subscribe to that after reading this 
:grin :grin  
This was a no-holds-barred all out attack and great fun to read,[if just a little scary] 
Fun to write, just so long as you don't post it, I guess 
:upset  
cheers

Enjoyed reading this very much, but I think life too short to put up with such people and inefficiancy that I find it a waste that you are not going to post it! 
 
Cheers
Thanks!

Phil/Jane/Brett - Glad you enjoyed. 
 
Yes it would be great to actually use this as a resignation letter but, alas, bills to pay, another 30 years of work ahead of me - don't think it would do my career any good, but on the other hand..... 
 
Also I wasn't joking, I actually have crayons on my desk, as well as various toys and gadgets to keep me amused all day. Sometimes I may actually do some work just for a bit of a change!!!

only just read this

and am wryly amused, as my 11 years of teaching for the University came to an end today. I don't think I would go as far as you in writing a goodbye letter. I did receive one from the Dean - but again was wryly amused by the fact that his card was an obsolete one from the former St Martin's college which now only exists within the University. 
 
I start a new job on Monday though and my degrees (I'm afraid I do have more than one) mean I can negotiate my own hours and rate of pay. Who says knowledge isn't power?

Thanks for the review Fellpony, Happy to have amused you. 
 
I hate to think what position you would get in the company I work for as 1 degree means big bucks and senior management, so I'm guessing 2 or more means 6 figures and a presidency!! 
 
BTW - Good luck with the new job. 
 
Nick
cheers Nick

we should send Ron (that's Fledermaus) to your firm - he's got loads of degrees!
feels good doesn't it?

I've written many of these in the past and boy are they good fun! Writing as therapy? what about writing as revenge!?  
 
Enjoyed reading this very much - my sentiments exactly. 
 
Only piece of advice I'd add is dont write it as an email - it's way too easy to press 'send' instead of 'save'...trust me.

Thanks for the review Beckaroo - Glad you lilked it. 
 
I have to admit most of my writing is for therapy or revenge (the revenge ones tend not to be very good - full of swearing and rsnting!!) 
 
Also very good piece of advice!!

You and me are colleagues?

You seem to work in the same grot hole that I do.  
 
Amazing coincidence.

Love it!

The type of g-d f'in assholes you describe seem to occupy so many managerial positions in virtually every organization. Good mental therapy, writing your rant. I put up with loads of shit and am delighted to be retired. I'm currently doing some part-time work, which will be done in 31 days. After that stint, no more, nada, rien, nichts. I like to work, but not for managerial morons. 
 
cheers

Ranes/Mary - thanks for the comments. 
 
Ranes - Sorry I must of missed your review from over a month ago but I can quite easily believe we work for the same corporation!!  
 
Mary - Yes retirement sounds nice. I can't wait for that day - Damn that's 30 years from now - I've just gone and depressed myself - I think I need a stiff drink!! 
 
Nick
Cheer up!

A few suggestions besides the stiff drink- 
 
1) As much as you dislike your job, remember that it pays the rent and that is important especially in a down economy 
 
2) Your free time is YOURS 
 
3) Don't bring your discontent home 
 
4) Take time for what makes YOU happy (being online at GW's website, having stiff drinks, etc.) 
 
5) LOVE yourself, i.e., value yourself; what the managerial morons think is not that important, and don't let them pull you down 
 
6) An opportunity for a more interesting position may become available; send out resumes; network 
 
Hope these suggestions help 
:)

Thanks for the tips Mary. 
 
I actual enjoy what I do, just hate all the office politics and idiotic management that goes with the job.

i really think you shouldn't put so many swears in this piece of writing. 
 
i am telling you and i am only 10 

Written by Nick (786 comments posted) 18th May 2009
Sorry If I offended you Mosw, but in my defense I did put a warning at the start and to be honest it isn't really aimed at 10 year olds. 
 
Having said that the kids round my way seem to know more swears than I do, so kudos to you for objecting to them 
 
Nick
don't be sorry

Strictly, our 10 year old is playing in the grown-ups' room. We expect our members to be over 13 and the registration form says so. I do think the f word is over-rated though 8)
Thanks Sue

Your right but I still wouldn't want a child to read my work. I don't think anything I've written is suitable for children. Is that a bad thing? I guess that's what happens when you post on the internet and anyone has access to it. 
 
As for the F-word, in the correct circumstance it can be a great word, but with over-use it becomes less powerful. I admit there was too many swears in this piece but it was written in anger and I felt it was justified. Probably just shows up my lack of vocabulary - Oh well - we can't all be smart!!!
