Take This Job and Shove It

If you're feeling bitter about your job and are ready to get out of Dodge, you may have spent some quality time imagining the perfect letter of resignation.

It wouldn't say, "I've really appreciated all the opportunities I've been given here", would it?

NW Jobs has an amusing template called The Resignator you can use to write the resignation letter of your dreams, a la Mad Libs.

It's clever advertising for them, too, if you forward your letter of hilarity to your friends (uh, not from your machine at work, OK?)

This sounds like a healthy way to blow off some steam if your job is driving you up the wall. People who are seriously thinking about resigning, however, should remember that the departure from a job should be just as professional as the arrival - no matter how bitter you are. Last year, one of my colleagues submitted a scathing letter, but six months later she wasn't happy at her new job and wanted to come back. Her performance at our company had been stellar, it was that letter that did her in. Bottom line: you never know when you'll need these people again, and bashing them on your way out won't achieve anything. Perhaps check out this site instead.

Alexandra,

I totally agree. Keep the actual "adios" professional and diplomatic. The Resignator is just for fun.
