Today is my last day : -) A disgruntled employee writes!

This is the parting shot from someone leaving an organiser in the Middle East. We've been assured it's genuine and our spies tell us it's going viral.

We have to salute him.  

Dear Co-Workers,

As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”

For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.

I would especially like to thank xxxx- xxxx– xxxx & rest of the IT Team Members: in an age where miscommunication is all too common, you consistently impressed and inspired me with the sheer magnitude of our misinformation. It takes a strong man to admit his mistake – it takes a stronger man to attribute his mistake to me : -)

Over the past three years, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with some absolutely interchangeable supervisors on a wide variety of seemingly identical projects – an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium.

Your demands were high and your patience short, but I take great solace knowing that my work was, as stated on my annual review, “mostly satisfactory.” That is the type of praise that sends a man home happy after even 8 hours day, smiling his way through half a bottle of mostly satisfactory JD’s.

But to those few souls with whom I’ve actually interacted, here are my personalized notes of farewell:

To xxxx T: I will always remember sharing lunch with you, despite having clearly labeled it with my name : -)

To xxxx C: I will miss creating new access card once in every 2 months for you. Hope you don’t lose the new card I gave you a week ago : -) or else that would be the 19^th Access Card

To xxxx A: I’m going to miss seeing you getting drunk at xxxx Middle East parties and going overboard with your actions, which are quiet funny in the end. “xxxx has got one of the recordings” : -)

And finally, to xxxx “Country Roads”: you were right – xxxx tested positive.

So, in parting, if I could pass on any word of advice to the individual who will soon be filling my position, it would be to cherish this experience like a sponge and soak it up,  because a job opportunity like this comes along only once in a lifetime.

Yours truly,
