Hey there! Just finished writing my resignation letter and I am feeling all sorts of emotions right now 😅. It was a tough decision, but I knew it was the right one for me.
Feeling unhappy and unappreciated at work is never a good place to be. If you resonate with my experience and are considering writing your own resignation letter, then keep on reading. I’ve got some tips and advice to make the process a little easier for you.
## Why Did I Decide to Resign?
After taking some time off to reflect on my situation, I realized that I was truly unhappy in my current job. Here’s why I decided to write my resignation letter:
1. **Job Misalignment**: I found myself doing tasks that were not aligned with the job I originally signed up for. This led to frustration and burnout.
2. **Lack of Recognition**: Putting in long hours and going above and beyond went unnoticed by my superiors. Feeling unappreciated took a toll on my motivation.
3. **Hostile Work Environment**: Voicing my concerns about racism in the workplace only made things worse. Dealing with hostility on a daily basis was mentally draining.
4. **Self-Realization**: Writing the resignation letter helped me see that I deserve better. I deserve a work environment that is supportive, inclusive, and values my contributions.
## Tips for Writing Your Resignation Letter
If you’re in a similar situation and considering writing your resignation letter, here are some tips to help you navigate the process:
1. **Be Professional**: Keep your resignation letter polite and professional. Avoid burning bridges, as you never know when you might need a reference.
2. **Express Gratitude**: Thank your employer for the opportunities and experience you gained while working at the company. Acknowledge the positive aspects of your time there.
3. **State Your Reasons**: Be honest but diplomatic about your reasons for resigning. Focus on your own personal growth and career goals rather than blaming the company or colleagues.
4. **Offer Assistance**: If possible, offer to assist with the transition process. This demonstrates your professionalism and leaves a positive impression.
5. **Plan Your Exit Strategy**: Decide on your last working day and handover responsibilities accordingly. Leave on a good note and maintain relationships with colleagues.
## Moving Forward
Writing a resignation letter can be a daunting task, but sometimes it’s necessary for your own well-being and career growth. Remember, you deserve to be happy and fulfilled in your job. Don’t be afraid to take the leap and pursue opportunities that align with your values and goals.
If you’re in the process of resigning or looking for a new job, feel free to reach out! I’d love to hear about your experiences and offer any support I can. Cheers to new beginnings and exciting opportunities ahead! 🎉

Congratulations 🎊Â
I am there with you. Turning in my resignation letter first thing tomorrow morning. Been dealing with a stupid commute (+3 hours round trip), a coworker who gets paid more than me (with the same title) but literally knows nothing about our industry (I was expected to train him), and a project where I have my reputation tied to a project where I have zero authority to affect anything that happens. Plus, I pulled up my job description and am literally not doing a single thing I was hired to do. Peace out, horrible job. Onto bigger and better things.
And CONGRATULATIONS! It’s awesome that you know your self worth (fuuuuuck racism)!!!
Well done. Don’t worry, you will find something more rewarding.
This job was blocking your perspective. Don’t sit at home. Get out and talk to everyone. If you can afford it, go to industry meetings.
Note sure how long your letter is but I’ll just say less is better. It’s nice to get all of the emotions out in a letter but don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing your anger and frustration. A simple this is a my last day will suffice. Trust me, nothing you say will change their view or attitude.
Anyone quitting now, I hope you have a new job lined up or people you can stay with. It is REALLY hard to find something out here now. I would normally never advocate for staying in a toxic job, but if it’s the only way to pay your bills, you may want to wait.
Edit to say: I’m a year into unemployment and am 2k plus applications in. So speaking from experience. I didn’t quit, but my situation is still this.
Did you only use four words?
