IT letter of resignation!

[Lord Evermore]

I know it's nitpicking, especially with the assumption of it not being real, but one would generally be inclined to grammar and spell-check one's own resignation letter in which one derided the abilities of the boss.

"harassment" would automatically be presumed to be "annoying", thus making that redundant.

"myself and her employees"?

The use of the word "shiftlessly" is somewhat odd. Technically usable I suppose, but only barely.

"sharp dressed" should be hyphenated. Probably a comma after it as well but perhaps not.

"Managers like you're a sad proof of the Dilbert principle." -- the most horrific use of a contraction I've ever seen. I'm not even sure if it's technically wrong, but I'm betting it is, since "you" is not the subject of the sentence; "managers like you" is, and one would not expect a phrase to be used in a contraction. It's also plural, so it should be simply "sad proof", not "a sad proof".



A search for Zantex Computers of course brings up this letter many many times.

Incidentally, is it okay to talk about dicks on AT? Odd that it isn't in the word ban filters or prevented by the mods.

Ah a dry sense of humor..either that or you are extremely anal. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with a dry sense of humor

Even though I find this letter amusing...I cannot condone this type of behavior. It's a privilege to be a Network/System Admin. In some cases, this privilege yields complete control over the company's computer systems and networks. This power should never be abused...after all, you get paid to do a job and not screw someone over. Here, in this letter, this person should not have initiated these tactics...unless Mr. Baker's superior specifically asks him/her to do so. Instead of spending time to think of ways to cover yourself...why not just do a better job?

that's does not matter...what matters is teaching the young impressionable minds that read this board what's right and what's wrong

A oldie but a goodie

I would think to that some of those grammatical errors have come from editing the original 'letter'. I've seen a few variations of that letter and it tends to get updated with the technology. I'm assuming that someone got lazy while changing it and made a couple of mistakes.

This is almost as good as the old IBM field Technician's "mouse balls" memo.

For the less fortunate who may have missed it in the past:

Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit). Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist-off method.

Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items."
