Resignation

Boss,  (hey yall, its been an interesting few days.. please, read on….lol)

I have made the decision to resign from my position with The Company.  (that’s right, I’m jumping ship before it sinks!) This is something that I have given a great deal of thought to over the past few weeks. It has become clear that the best step for me to take right now is a step away from The Company. We have had a good working relationship for the past three and a half years, so I do feel that you are owed an explanation.

Officially, I have enrolled in school, set to begin in the fall.  With a full courseload, I will be unable to fulfill my responsibilities as the office manager.
(I applied to the local college to get into their massage therapy program.  This is a thousand times more in line with who I am.  I am a reiki practitioner, I believe in the power of meditation, Im into hippie dippie woo woo magic shit, so really… body work/ healing?  its in my wheelhouse)

Unofficially, I think that there are a few things that you need to be made aware of. Many of the staff members, of their own volition, have come to me privately, expressing concern. Individually, they stated that they were approached by my immediate supervisor, under the guise of “getting to know the employees and what they do”   whom they feel was attempting to get them to speak ill of me, their immediate supervisor. In all instances, I believe this action made them feel uncomfortable and put them in an unfair position.  This was reported to me by no less than three employees.  (I 100% believe that I am being pushed out.  Its not a conspiracy theory, its a FACT.  They have installed hidden cameras, i have been written up for the first time in 3 and a half years TWICE, in a span of 8 days.  And THEN I find out about him going to my employees and trying to get them to talk shit about me?  no.  Its obvious that he wants me out, but is biding his time so that they can let me go at a time when it is convenient for the company to let me go.  NO, fuck that.  I WILL NOT be USED like that.)

Additionally, It was brought to my attention by several other employees, that The Trainer has openly criticized me and my position to the employees, thereby undermining my ability to effectively perform my job. ( This piece of work is my bosses daughter who is apparently as twofaced as they come.  The girls told me that shes constantly saying things like “It wasn’t that way when I was the manager’ or “Blue just needs to find the time to do her job correctly, or “Oh, its not your fault, soandso, Blue is the one who should be doing that, not you.” )  

I ask for your discretion and hope that you will keep this between you and I because I fear repercussions for the operators that spoke out.  I have loved working with you, the staff and clients of The Company and it is with a heavy heart that I choose to part.  I wish The company and yourself much continued success.

Sincerely,
The company can now go fuck itself.

My resignation will be in person and verbal, but writing this out helped me to solidify my thoughts.  I will give  her a written resignation with my official reason after I find out how much of those 3 weeks she needs.

The employees are like family to me.  they are LOYAL to me.  I cant even tell you how many of them say ” You’re the reason I come to work.”  I’m devastated that I have to make this decision.    I’m devastated that I am leaving them when everything is so up in the air and bullshit is flying everywhere.  Ultimately though, I have to do the right thing for my life, myself and my integrity.

I have spent way too many nights stressed out, not sleeping, and crying for this job.  I have given it my blood sweat and tears, and for it to end this way feels like betrayal.   This is not even what I WANT TO DO for the rest of my life. I am resigning on Monday.  I’ll give my boss up to 3 weeks to get me replaced and I am going to ask for a letter of recommendation because I don’t trust that I would get a fair reference in the future from the Operations Manager

 I am also NOT GOING TO WORK on Thursday or Friday because I have PTO and I will have fam in town and fuck that place.  If it wants to screw me, I’ll screw it right back.

Happy Sunday Funday! yall be awesome 🙂
