Whenever I’ve had an abusive boss I’ve resigned by agreeing with them. My resignation letter contained every abusive thing they ever said to me. “Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. I am resigning, effective immediately, as it has been brought to my attention that I am not the right person for the job.
I have been made aware that I have created problems at work by taking my scheduled breaks, talking during my shift, not being fast enough at the job on my first day, and because I’d be a much prettier girl if I smiled more.
I’m very sorry that I wasn’t able to have sex with the boss, but I felt prostitution should pay more than minimum wage and 80% health coverage.
It seems that the business would be better able to move forward if I were no longer working there.
…etc.
I can’t be the only one who just resigns by agreeing with everything they say. When I left a certain fast food restaurant I literally just said “Everything you have said is true.” After nodding through her prepared speech, and just walked out. I have occasionally added “it must suck to still be working here” or “you must really enjoy the interview process”.
I don’t know what you’re supposed to do when you resign or get fired, but “you are absolutely correct” seems to really take the huff out of their puff 🤷️
