Less is More
In some cases, it is not the content of your resignation letter that is important, what really matters is getting your point across. This two-word letter is definitely crystal clear. This person is leaving their position, probably as quickly as possible.
In this instance less was more. The story behind this letter, however, puts the whole thing into a more sensible context. When this resignation letter was shared on social media, it came with the caption: “My ex-manager wouldn’t give me my last paycheck without a resignation letter.”
A Hangry Goodbye
Fighting for higher pay is unfortunately nothing new to most employees nowadays. However, it seems that this former worker was so fed up with not being able to feed himself that he quit.
With a little sprinkle of sarcasm and passive-aggressiveness, this former employee served up what's known as a dish best served cold...an unexpected resignation letter! And during Christmas!
Can’t Put a Price Tag on Freedom
Although this is not a letter of resignation per se, we still think it deserves a place on this list. First of all, the intent to quit couldn’t be clearer, and second of all, this person plainly does not care about their retail job at all.
This obviously disgruntled worker took advantage of their responsibility for making price tags for the electronic equipment to make a statement. Customers who came in got all the information they could want about the price of the oven plus as a bonus what this store assistant thought about their boss.
Ring in the New Year with a New Job
Although there are many reasons to quit your job, it doesn’t mean that you don’t want to keep in contact with the company you are leaving or with your coworkers. Especially during the holiday season.
This soon-to-be ex-employee made their feelings about leaving their job abundantly clear. The "I QUIT" in this resignation letter is enormous and in all caps. But that didn’t keep them from adding the small print that they would still be attending the office Christmas party. This person knows what it’s all about.
Resigning with Style
Here is another example that shows that, in some cases, less is more and what really matters is that you get your point across. Matt had been cooped up in that office cubicle for three years, and he just couldn’t take it anymore.
He felt like he had worked really hard and had little to show for it and that his actions over the past few years spoke for themselves. That made his decision to quit and the writing of his resignation letter pretty easy. He walked to the nearest bathroom, grabbed some paper towels and a magic marker, and got to it.
