This being a respectable business blog and all, I’m a bit hesitant to include a letter from Dear Abby (I have an editorial policy never to use the word “closure” in my blog) but a Corporate X-Ray reader was kind enough to point out a letter that appeared in Monday’s Dear Abby column this week. In the spirit of serendipity, here it is.
Dear Abby: I read an article in our local paper a while ago that said good employees who leave a company usually do so because of their boss.
With that in mind, I would like to bring closure to my recent resignation with the following open letter to my former boss:
“Thanks for asking me to stay on, but I respectfully decline. I will be self-employed from now on. However, if in the future I ever feel the need to be publicly humiliated, blind-sided, ostracized and called a spy, be distrusted and disciplined by superiors for no good reason, fight for wages that are rightfully mine, stabbed in the back by fellow employees, used as a pawn in executive rivalries, or (especially) chewed out when you’re having a bad day, I’ll get back to you!”
