Good bye yellow brick road to Nowhere.

To whom It may concern,
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work for your company - and God did I work-not only did I do more than my share of the work load but things that are not even in my job description.
I not only DID NOT receive appropriate training but I surely am grateful for all the errors you have pointed out to me that were made because of my lack of appropriate training. Trial and error at my expense and embarrassment.

I want to thank you for putting your customers' needs ahead of mine even though you knew that there are well known complainers and down right bitchy people coming into the store. Even though I am an open, public target for anyone and my back faces the entrance door with the gust of freezing winter air- I know you do not want me to intentionally get sick or accidently shot in the back by some irate customer trying to steal your products.

The skills that I have learned by working for your company will be etched in my memory for a lifetime, and I can contribute some of my insomnia to the survival skills I have had to learn not from the public but within the company's policy.

I want to thank you for taking advantage of my compassionate, helpful and pleasant personality to increase your profits and to create an upheaval in my life by calling me in to cover shifts because you are always short staffed.

When my live in partner died and I needed time off to adjust to the trauma of the death and radical change in lifestyle I do recall the callousness and downright indifference to my situation. In fact, if it wasn't for the mean spirited attitude I would have never toughened up the way I did, and so fast. However, when another employee's dog died your were more than willing to give that person the day off with sympathy and you wondered why I didn't even flinch at the news.

I certainly am a valuable employee, I am skilled, trained and good at what I do -the job you hired me for. Regretfully, I must resign because I have accepted a position that is in keeping with my personality and life training.

I hope you consider me to work with your company in the future, should the opportunity arise but for now, my personal well being is more important.

My last day of employment with your company will be New Years Eve because it's as good a time as any to have closure and to toast your company's success in 2006 without me.

In kindred spirit (NOT)
