* * * * * Resignation It was four years ago today that I resigned from my job at Visual Data [1] (who had bought the web design company I worked for a year previously) to start working at Eminet Domain [2] (which I worked at until mid-2000). I just found some draft resignation letters. The first one went: > Tuesday, July 28, 1998 > > To Whom It May Concern: > > Due to the continuing product-aligned reorganization with significant third > wave solutions and the promise of integral new downsizing and > nondiscriminatory divisional reshuffling I do hereby give notice that I > intend to maximize my unrealized extensive expansion into humanistic > revenue-oriented reimbursement into seamless middle-management reassessment > and offer to Visual Data my voluntary revenue-oriented solution to the > continuing unfulfilled financial promises by releaving you of the ongoing > support of my employment at this institution within the coming fortnight. > > Signed > >   > > Sean Conner > July 28, 1998 > The other one I liked much better and actually wanted to use: > Tuesday, July 28, 1998 > > To Whom It May Concern: > > Unappreciated and > with a heavy heart, > I hereby resign. > > Signed > >   > > Sean Conner > July 28, 1998 > but I was told to write something more traditional, but without the buzzwords of the first draft.
