Resignation 101

*sound of “Jackie Skates” ringtone coming from handphone*

Pick up phone, look at name on screen and answer with a cheery “Hi!”

This is totally unacceptable!

Huh?

When was the last time you wrote a resignation letter?

Uh … 14 years ago.

Okay, have you got pen and paper?

Can you amend and email to me? Actually, all I wanted to write was “I resign.” And maybe “Thank you.”

You must never burn your bridges behind you. A friend of mine wrote “I resign. F you.” She definitely burned all her bridges behind her.

Ok.

In the end, we forgot to mention the length of notice I was giving, and the HR Department thought I was giving 24-hour notice.

Haiyoh …

*big sigh of relief*
