If I'd already had a job lined up that's pays at least 20K more and has better benifits why should I care. I also have a lot on my table (programs, applications) and there are certian things that I only know and no one else and must be completed by next month to keep the organization within state requirements.

Then I'd make sure that your next boss got a copy of the resignation notice....anonymously of course

I don't tell you where I'm going........

It's a small world.

precisely
With the amount of communication and the possibility of company tops meeting together at assorted business consortiums, meetings, and global business lectures and whatnot... you'd be surprised how many people, through as few as one or two 'degrees of separation', will talk about business happenings and possibly discuss inter-business happenings if they are not competitors.

you'd be surprised how small the business world really is. ;)
Don't do it unless you like gambling with future potential employment opportunities.

What is it going to accomplish? I'll tell you, nothing. You'd be better off getting drunk to get it off your mind.

I'd say it introduces a number of entertaining possibilities for follow-up threads.

There is a reason people with half a brain don't do this more often.....

Send in a letter of resignation, you spends a night in the box. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top... the top sheet on the bottom... and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one'll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I'm Carr, the floor walker. I'm responsible for order in here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in...

A resignation letter serves one purpose only, to inform HR when to take you off the payroll. Any other intended use for it can be used against you later.

The exit interview is where they ask for your feedback. If you want, it may be useful to write an essay that details the inefficiencies that led to your dissatisfaction. However, understand the management involved already know those inefficiencies exist and have accepted them. You telling them what is wrong will not change their minds. They will just view you as a wildcard who is unable to adjust.

When someone wants to be unhappy, they can always find reasons.

I work at one of those companies (bolded). I also can't adjust as well.

Me too. :eek:

The above information is what I use to convince myself not to act out of line. Additionally, I discussed with my supervisor the office inefficiencies that bother me. She told me that is how things are done here. There was no following comment on fixing things, just an understood tone that told me I need to accept it.

However, when looking online I find many say not to do this. What do you guys think?

If this is an example of your written communications skills, then I'd dislike speaking to you in person.

I think it's a good idea to write it but not give it to your boss ... vent your frustration by writing it out but as everyone else on the thread has said, don't submit it. You can always posted here once you're done writing it :)

Now, I can be a good guy, or I can be one real mean sum-bitch.

You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set, 'cause you gonna get your mind right.

Don't forget the following bullet point:

* The fry station does not have an adequate splatter guard and often leaves my t-shirts stained with grease.

Does anyone else find it odd the OP is trying to find an example letter on-line detailing two pages of angry listing of things that are wrong with (I assume) his company.

If you're going to submit an angry letter of resignation, at least write it yourself and put what YOU want to bitch about and not what some other chump and some other chump company wrote.

Okay....wow, SO stupid.

If I quit my job, there are things which nobody else there understands how to do either. Which is why I would give enough notice so that I could train someone at least in the most important parts - and the rest they would just have to figure out. But then again, I'm not a douche. Even a bad job isn't EVERYONE in the whole company usually. It's just a few.

What if you left them with that shit, they are out of state compliance and they get shut down? All the other employees are SOL because of you. That's a shitty thing to do. Now this is an extreme, but plausible.

Don't be an ass.
