Letter of Resignation
FOUND by Georgy Cohen in Medford, Massachusetts
I found this on the floor of the elevator in the parking garage at Tufts University.
Vinny Vegas in Durham, NC
Haha how unofficial! I wonder if that person really turned that note in. Funny.

If that's the only stationary in the office, the job quite possibly sucked in the first place. hehe.

Kinda makes you wonder about the job, the employer, the resigner? Perhaps she didn't speak english, and needed some help?

Regardless, I wish them well...

Hahaha classic. Short and sweet. What more could an employer want?

Informal and concise. A perfect way to quit.

Geeez, he/she should have at least signed it. I wonder what kind of job it was.

Here's my op in ion !
This person was fed up with The Man . Probably left a whole drawer full of unfinished business and snagged a few office supplies on the way out the door too .

Sounds like they had had enough. I hope the
resignation is a good thing.

Being a simple scrap written perpendicular to the ruled paper makes it infinitely more touching and powerful. Great find!

Short, sweet & to the point. Okay then...

This letter should be made available as a template for anyone thinking about quitting...

I knew an attorney that quit with a Post-It note. He hated that place.

Maybe it's a report on his psychological state rather than anything about a job.

A former coworker of mine wrote an 8 page letter of resignation. I like this one, short and to the point.

i'm guessing this was from a drunken RA or a workstudy student who was sick of filing judicials.

This one kind of makes me sad.

If I had a job at Tufts, I'd probably resign too.

I agree with Becky, or it is some student writing a note to a friend in class, saying that they give up. People don't often use ruled paper in offices anymore.

I get creeped out looking at this. Like it was a suicide note......

My mind immediately assumed that the writer was "resigning" from life rather than a job.
+ January 23, 2007 09:02 AM +

Why should we assume the writer is resigning from a job? And why should it be sad. Perhaps the writer is resigning from a state of sadness, a bad relationship or a bad habit. Perhaps its an assertion to live more positively.

Samm in my place not myspace
maybe the person left it in the elevator in the hope that he/she could leave without telling anyone and someone would just find it and be like oh k.

Jenny in Oswestry
Well I think the person resigning had told the boss face-to-face, then they said "Oh dear you'd better write a letter of resignation to keep it formal" so he/she typed one out and went to the Man's office but he had gone to play golf so he/she left it in the in-tray but thought he might not notice it so left the note on top.

this looks a lot like Kurt Halsey's handwriting

I have written a lot of these notes. I never actually quit but it makes me feel better to write it down.

Do you go to Tufts? Did you play softball? I googled you...not creepy, just wanted to know. I'm going to be a sophomore there!
