Working in the Oil and Gas industry as I've done most of my life, I've always changed job because of a lay-off or reorganization. So, please let me know what you think about this letter of resignation (besides the fact that it's full of lies! ;): Re. Termination of Employment Dear Sirs: It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have worked for you at CGI (formerly Container-Care International) for the past thirteen months. I have learned a lot during that time and hope that I have contributed positively to the business as well. So, it is with regret that I must tender to you my resignation. I have been offered a job working at my first career choice, web architecture. Because of the pressing needs of my new employer I can only offer you one week's notice, but intend to help, however I can, to ease any transition issues you may face because of this short notice. Since my new employment starts Monday, June 6, 2005, I think the best plan of action would be to transition my administrative duties and, as Mr. XXXX had previously suggested, contract to CGI, either through my new employer or directly, any services you will need to continue the development of the company intranet. Thank you, all, for making my working experience here pleasant and rewarding. I am going to miss working with you and I wish you and your company success and prosperity. Yours, CatNipped IMHO -- why bother with a letter? Just walk in and tell them you are giving them one week's notice. Do not elaborate -- the less said the better. If you feel you must write a letter, make it as simple as possible and don't give excuses. MLB I like the letter. She is killing them with kindness and making them feel as small as they are for mistreating her. I think it shows great personal style. But to each her own. |

So, please let me know what you think about this letter of resignation (besides the fact that it's full of lies!//// I've got a better one VBG Dear a$$wipe, Because you were such sh*ts to me and I was unable to do my job because of the fact you are all unreasonable a$$holes, I've decided to get a better job - which I now have - Hahaha. BTW - I'm suing you and your company because I now have long term stress no thanks to you! Up yours, Catnipped. Then again, maybe not ;o) On a serious note, It's a great letter although I personally wouldn't tell them that you've moved back into web design - I'd leave that out altogether. It's none of their beeswax. Good news about the job! Helen M ROTFLMAOWTIME! Oh how I *wish* I could send your letter instead! ; Hugs, CatNipped I agree with others not to give them details of your new employer, nor to commit to doing any of their web stuff on a contract basis. I would state I found a position which better fits my professional skills and leave it at that. If you WANT to do some contract work, I would phrase it in such a way that you MIGHT be able to assist with some web work on a contract basis once you've settled in to your new position. I realize you don't want to slam the door, but you don't really know how busy you're going to be in your new position. And frankly, you don't owe anyone, especially your old boss, a damn thing. So leave the contract option open, if you wish, but don't tell them specifics about how that would work unless they approach you later about it. My 2 cents. Jill |

MLB If Catnipped doesn't send a letter of resignation, someone can claim (and probably would) that she didn't officially resign and then try to stick it to her. Personally, I'd keep my new information vague and not let the old company think that they can continue to use her, as was suggested by the other members of the group. I think that Lori was much nicer than I would have been, but then I'm not a nice person. Pam S. |

They're kind of fun Don't know what's right or wrong, but here are some comments solely based on how I did mine. Re. Termination of Employment I called mine "Resignation". That way, it's clear to any reading this in the future that they didn't terminate you, you resigned them. Exactly right. The boss sounds like just the kind of dipwad who would claim he fired her, especially since he just belittled her and turned down her requested raise. Dear Sirs: I wrote mine directly to my manager, and cc'd HR Yep, I've always done that, too. I didn't provide them any information about my new employment in my letter. I told him when my boss asked, but otherwise I didn't think it was any of their business. Agreed. Again, I didn't bring up my new employer. I told them that I'd be happy to transition my duties to anyone they designated and let it go at that. And to be honest, if they didn't have a backup plan for what to do if she quit or got hit by a bus, it's really their own fault, isn't it? I'm constantly told by former co-workers what a shambles and mistake it was for that manager to let me go. People started bailing right and left, either electing to move into other departments or even go back from whence they came after clamouring to get into Support. I am much better off, even if I am still technically unemployed. Life was becoming living hell there. My comments aside, that's a nice letter Too nice, IMHO!

Yeah, after reading all the comments I agree. I changed "termination" to "resignation", I altered it to still be nice and respectful, but not quite so gushing, I took out all details about my new job, and I didn't commit to anything beyond the end of my employment. Thanks, all, for the help! Hugs, CatNipped Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha Jill |
