An e-mail to my manager...

[Yossarian]

you are a whiny bitch. terrible letter. just reading the first paragraph makes me want to beat you about the head and neck.

 

[gooseman]

Your job aint THAT important.

 

[HonkeyDonk]

I just read:

"Manager:

Blah blah blah, I'm a whiny little prick who tries to sound intellectual/witty while writing a letter of resignation.

I am a little girl and can't handle real life. I want to quit."

just messin...(sorta)

Actually, get rid of the first two paragraphs. After reading the first paragraph, I would not really be interested in reading anything past it. You come off as a snide ass and I'd just terminate your ass right there. I mean, you try to be clever by adding in the "blind man" bit and then to finish off that paragraph, you add in another smartass comment about good china. It's too much for a small paragraph.

And don't give him your life story on why you want to quit....that's just utterly pointless...

A few lines of why you need to quit (ie school load) and say thanks for a great work exp and shiz, wish him the best of luck and boom you're done.

Bottom line, you're too much of a smartass dick the way you wrote it just now.

seriously, why are you hiding behind an email.

Go up to the manager in person and TALK ABOUT your issues and your decision.

Be a human being.

danny~!

Try something along the lines of this.

Manager,

Please accept this letter as my two weeks notice of resignation.

As school has recently started, I feel I must spend more time studying since this is a crucial year for me and will have an impact on my future. I assure you I will do my best to make this transition as smooth as possible.

It has been a pleasure working for you and I wish you and the company nothing but the best. Thank you for having me on your team.

Sincerely,

I'm gonna copy, paste, and print that. is that ok?

Go for it. Glad I was able to help.

Seconded. Don't EVER give too much information. Leave on good terms.
BTW: If there is an exist interview resist the urge to talk too much. Simply reiterate what you wrote in your letter.

 

[Eeezee]

Why are you giving 2 weeks notice or even a letter?

E-mail your manager, tell him you're not coming in tomorrow. Or ever again.

Done, do this and you win.

 

[chuckywang]

What's your job?

 

[sygyzy]

Lame letter. Seriously. You are piling too much information on the good china. Nobody cares about your life, cetainly not your manager. And the use of SAT words, trying to come off as being some wonderchild. You don't need to type out a letter. Give him your two weeks notice in person, explain to him you need to go to school. That's it. Sometimes by not trying so hard, you impress people more.

 

[cjgallen]

If I was your manager, I wouldn't read that. I'd email you back and say "Cliffs?"

 

[silverpig]

Dear Manager,

Welcome to just-lost-an-employeeville

Population: you

PS: I am gay.

Sounds like you just like to whine about everything.

Just write that you are unhappy and are moving on and leave it at that.

When it comes to work...yes

However; I'm not quite sure that he realizes these things bother all of his techs. So it wasn't really meant as a kick in the pills, rather something informative/corrective

You don't care about his other techs - you should be caring what kind of reference he will give you if a future employer call him checking up on your work background.

Tell him that you enjoyed the challenges of the job. Tell him that you really appreciated the opportunity to get the experience at this point in your career. Tell him that if he needs you back to cover a situation in the future he should feel free to call you in an emergency, but because of your school such an engagement would have to be a limited duration.

Leave on good graces...your reputation is all that you have at this point in your career.
