Walking away from a job is rarely easy, especially when economic uncertainty makes employment feel like a privilege. Many employers these days either lay off employees abruptly or push workers to perform more tasks for less compensation, creating unbearable conditions. But even amid this tough environment, some are boldly saying "enough." One employee recently crafted a resignation letter so brutally honest and amusing that it quickly went viral, perfectly capturing the frustration so many workers feel.

The letter, originally shared by Reddit user u/Spacemage (though the original post has since been removed), appears to have been written with minimal effort, likely by editing a standard resignation template. Yet, the bluntness of the edits clearly reveals how fed-up this worker was, and how liberating it must have felt to finally leave.

The resignation, dated February 3, 2023, states, "I regret to inform you I will be departing from my role as (Job Title) at (Company's Name) in two weeks." The employee continued, "While I've generally tolerated my tenure at (Company Name) for 10 years. I will be leaving in order to pursue happiness. Working with a few talented colleagues has been an honor." Ending on a brilliantly honest note, the letter concluded: "I will never forget the many things that happened there. Goodbye." Noticeably absent was the typical corporate politeness, replaced by a refreshing directness many dream of employing.

This note quickly resonated online, capturing thousands of likes and shares. Many Redditors related deeply to the straightforward resignation, using it as inspiration to reevaluate their own toxic work environments. One user, u/Griffindance, shared their own memorable resignation experience, writing, "I quit a job and handed in two letters. One, for upper management and another for the people who answered directly. The first was similar to the posted letter without the pen notes. The other just said 'This place is a mind f*ck. I don't want to die like this.'"

Leaving behind an unhealthy work environment is challenging, but it often proves essential for personal health and happiness. Toxic workplaces not only sap productivity but also erode workers’ mental well-being, relationships, and overall satisfaction. Some clear warning signs of workplace toxicity include consistently high stress levels, negativity, feeling unsupported or unappreciated, and unfair treatment.

In another striking example, employees at a Jimmy John's sandwich shop in Florida publicly expressed their frustrations by posting dueling signs. Management posted a note stating the store was "temporarily closed due to labor shortage," alongside an apology for inconvenience. Former employees countered this with their own note, reading, "The owners of this restaurant treated their employees like dogs, never once helped us out - they don't even live in Florida. All employees (including management) were students and did a great job keeping the store running with no help from the owners. The past few months of crappy business have been the result of lazy, careless ownership."

The viral resignation letter and similar stories remind us that prioritizing mental health and happiness should always come first, even if it means saying goodbye to a paycheck.

Millennials are roasting themselves and the internet can’t stop laughing

A dad, a dog, a mystery: Goofy’s voice actor clears up decades of fan confusion

For generations, fans have lovingly argued about what exactly Goofy is. With his long ears, dog-like snout, and anthropomorphic antics, many have assumed he’s simply a talking dog—Pluto with pants. But as Bill Farmer, the man behind Goofy’s voice since 1987, explains, it’s not quite that simple.

“Pluto is a dog, but Goofy seems to be in the canine family in the same way that a wolf is not a dog, but they also are in the canine family,” Farmer said in a 2020 interview. “I think Canis Goofus is the technical Latin term for what Goofy is. He’s just Goofy.”
