Need help in writing a letter of resignation

[lobadobadingdong]

I accepted a position that pays more, I only have to drive 22miles a day for work instead of ~300 or so miles a day, and I'll only be working 40hrs a week (w/occasional paid overtime) instead of 70hrs a week (currently on salary, no overtime at all)

I actually still enjoy working for the company I work for now but I worktoo much with pretty much no help, and aren't able to spend nearly as much time with my family as I feel I should be spending.


what I've come up with so far

Letter of Resignation

I am turning in this notice of resignation for an effective date of February 11th 2005 as my last day with (company X). I will continue working until Feb. 11th while a replacement is found and will assist in the training of my replacement.

I will be available as a contractor for after hours and saturdays if (company X) would like to make arrangements for me as a contactor. I will honor the conflict of interest agreement and will only be available for contract hire by (company X)

I expect to receive all of my late after hours compensations, and to receive the annual profit share bonus on my last pay check, as I did work the entire year of 2004 and contributed to the success of (company X) as advised to me by my attorney.

I wish (company X) best wishes on future growth and prosperity.
Sincerely,
Doug Williams

revised

 

Take out the "seperate negotiations of course" part. They know that. Prosperity is spelled as I have done.

Looks okay, and better then burning bridges with "I Quit"

 

[OrByte]

I never did a letter of resignation before...so my opinion is WORTHLESS however,

that part about spending time with your family, just doesnt seem to fit....

...my .02

You should cut-out each letter individually from magazines and glue it to paper.

 

[pyonir]

Don't mention the other job. It's none of their business.

 

[sygyzy]

It's intersting that you call it a letter of resignation rather than a 2 weeks notice.

 

[BigJelly]

while pointing to people in the office say "fvck you, fvck you, you're cool, fvck you. I quit"

EDITED:
or sexually harass that coworker--you know the one

EDITED AGAIN:
i know the quote is from "Halfbaked"--there now im not stealing it but using it

I wondered about that, its been a while since I had to do this.

 

[DrPizza]

Now... get some magazines, cut out the letters, and glue them to a piece of paper, ransom note style

Honestly, that's how I turned in my resignation from a former company... I was a well liked and respected staff member; they knew though that I was leaving for educational reasons. 2 weeks before my last day, I turned in a ransom-like resignation... they got a kick out of it.

 

[ErmanC]

Write this on a piece of paper...

Screw you guys. I quit.

And just FAX it in. Don't bother calling or anything.

 

[ampdot]

Sounds pretty fair... the only thing I saw was "i before e, except after c"... should be "receive"

 

[xirtam]

You had a good start. I've made a few minor modifications.

Letter of Resignation

I am officially submitting this notice of resignation, as February 11th 2005 will be my final day of employment. I need three days to prepare myself for the mad Valentine's Day orgy my neightborhood puts on every year. As I'm irreplacable, your corporate jackoffnesses will have to excuse my denial of responsibility for training a suitable replacement. I guess you should have worked harder at keeping the help happy.

I will be available as a contractor for after hours and saturdays (yeah right... saturdays? in your dreams) if y'all would like to make arrangements for me as a contRRRRRactor (that really does need fixed). If I sell corporate secrets at this point to Mother Russia, you will have no hold over me, and I'm thinking I will charge 1800% of my current pay, plus royalties on any finished products or patents generated from not only my work, but all work taking place in the company while I am in the building.

I expect to receive all of my late after hours compensations, and to recieve the annual profit share bonus on my last pay check, as I did work the entire year of 2004 and contributed to the success of Ye Olde Coffee Shop Deluxe, Inc. as advised to me by my attorney. Although we were both high at the time, the idea of suing you guys for not ponying up my hard-earned cash seemed like a viable option, should I run into the usual corporate impedance to positive work effort that I've observed over the last 20 years of <serving coffee>.

I accept payment in the form of Swiss bank transactions, suitcases of cocaine, or gift certificates to Best Buy.

Good luck,
Doug Williams

So. Two spelling errors. That is all.

WTF you drive 300 miles to work? What is your current job title? I thought only public accountants and investment bankers worked 70+ hours a week.

I'm a field engineer, I drive around all day and go onsite to do warranty repairs for stuff like Dell (servers/pc's/laptops/mass storage/etc), Lexmark printers, Unisys document processing robotics sytems, HP, and a whole bunch of others. I don't really have any office outside of my truck. My coverage area is about 100miles radius from my house and since I'm the only tech in this area, I have to drive a lot to cover my calls, and since I have a retardely large amount of calls (enough for 2 people easily) I have to work rediculous hours to attempt to keep caught up. (you'd be surprised how pissed off people get when they don't get their next day service on thier warranty repair)
