[ WP ] You hate your boss , and you 've just won the lottery . Write your resignation letter .

Hi Bossman, 
 
 When you hired me as a 23 year old fresh out of college, words could n't describe how happy I was to not only have a job, but also in a field that was very new and even fewer were working. I thought to myself, `` this is a great opportunity at a forward thinking company.'' 
 
 I hung in there and sucked it up. I took your verbal abuse, your ever changing opinions and direction, your archaic views on the industry that changes at the speed of light, but worst of all, I listened to the horrible things you said about every single person who you encountered. From the barista at Starbucks who asked you to repeat your order, to your superiors who were `` uninformed'' and also `` in your way to achieving your dreams.'' 
 
 However, the moment I knew that I despised you was when you rolled in two and a half hours late, smelling like booze and cigarettes and then realized that you forgot your laptop in your car, in the remote parking lot ( because you were late and they would n't give you a reserved lot ), and required that I not only stop what I was doing, but indulge and acknowledge how rough your life is. You then directed me to retrieve said laptop and on the twenty minute walk I decided right then and there, that it was time for a change. 
 
 While this letter may catch you somewhat off guard, I do want to highlight a few pieces of invaluable information that I gleaned from time working as your glorified intern. The first is how exactly not to treat someone, whether it be a subordinate, a superior, a potential client or even a stranger. Second, that I must continue to challenge myself to learn new things and master new skills, that my thirst for knowledge can never stop. The third and final, and easily the most important is that I never want to be you. 
 
 If you've made it this far, I ca n't tell you how happy I am to tender my resignation, effective immediately. I have provided copies of this letter to the other leaders of groups I work with and also the Human Relations department. In my exit interview, which will be happening as you read this letter, I will answer any and all questions about your behavior, demeanor and work ethic truthfully and honestly. 
 
 Normally, I would try to end any letter on a high note and this is no exception. Unfortunately, I do n't think you'll find this positive, humorous, or beneficial to you in any way shape or form. Over the past two and a half years I have kept a detailed log of every meeting where you spoke ill of others or me. I have corroborating accounts from many other employees, past and present. A copy of this log, along with a detailed account of other transgressions was delivered to X, Chief Legal Counsel by express courier at 9am this morning. I will be pursuing legal action against you for harassment in a civil court. 
 
 Finally, as our company requires, I am officially requesting that I would like the remainder of my accrued vacation time paid out on my final paycheck. 
 
 I highly doubt this will be the last time that we speak and until that day comes, I bid you adieu. 
 
 Regards,
