What would you like to say in your resignation letter?

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

One place I worked a guy left after some hassles with the senior management. He kept it reasonably civil, polite leaving drink and all that. Then they found out about a week later that he'd left an out of office message along the lines of 'I have now left my position, if you were one of the people who messed me about (you know who you are) you can go and fuck yourself.'

Phil Daniels in Quadrophenia resigned in some style:

BOSS: A lot of young men would give their eye teeth for a job like this.
JIMMY: Oh yeah, well find one then.
BOSS: I beg your pardon?
JIMMY: I said find one then. Cause d'you know what you can do with your job? You can take it, and your eye teeth, and your franking machine, and all that other rubbish I have to go about with, and you can shove it. RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE!!"

However, I would fucking love to take a shit in the MD's bin on my last day. The man has made a job I loved into a living hell.

don't shit in the bin,pull a pot plant out of its pot, shit in that and put the plant back on top.

spike milligan reports that this particular message resulted in a telegram a few weeks later:

"we know what it is. we know who did it. but for christ's sake tell us where it is."

"we know what it is. we know who did it. but for christ's sake tell us where it is."

a few strategically hidden frozen prawns can be effective as well

Or you could send a lengthy and detailed e-mail to everyone in the company, e.g. this

'Dear Boss:

I won 20 million dollars in a lottery last week. As much as I enjoy working here and like all the people, I think I'll take this opportunity to try something else with my life.

Best wishes,'
