Best Resignation Letter Ever Written
Following is a supposed letter of resignation from an employee at
a computer company, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon
afterwards!
It's funny, but a bit harsh.

Dear Mr. Smith,

As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few
very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct
superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground
squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my
co-workers and me during the commission of our duties, I can only
surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our
time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance
of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office
is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen.
I was hired because I know how to network
computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide
amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly
attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the
hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly
simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also
never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and
explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as
effective as telling you what an IP is.

Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will.

You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for
fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you
that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually
have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping
their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of
managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone
else eats and laughs at.

Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since
this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full
frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation,
however I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is
illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can
say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends
randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you
honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I
know every password you have used for the last five years. If you
decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list",
which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless
files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually
viewed favorably by the administration.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your
Mother's birthday," you neglected to mention that you were going
to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot
to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to
say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I
assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places
pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try
to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your
mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation
on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and
all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to
the public. Never **** with your systems
administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that
free time!

Wishing you a grand and glorious day, Cecelia

As for the resignation letter sad to say after working in nuclear plants for
