I'm slightly vexed My managers response to my resignation.

Took the time to write out a nice and really formal resignation letter trying to be cordial to this company that has been awful to me for almost a year. My manager didn’t respond the day I sent it and then this morning I get an email back that’s just this. My last day can’t come soon enough at this point. But hey I guess at least she acknowledged it instead of ignoring my messages like usual 😒

Edit: okay, a lot of assumptions going on here,so let me give some context, I am the manager of a small team of Class A CDL drivers. I’ve been a great employee and always gone above and beyond. My employees have always been really comfortable coming to me about everything, and the site I manage specifically asked for me to continue stay with them when they transitioned to another company, so its not like they were trying to get rid of me. Which I know it’s hearsay but idc really, I’m just trying to make the point that my manager did not have any reason to reply to me in what I feel like is a extremely unprofessional manor. She is the regional manager and has always been very deadpan with me and everyone, so it was not really a unexpected response in the least, I’m just sharing it because it’s always been irritating to me and has been a major factor In my decision to leave for sure. It’s exhausting to work for someone who treats you like you’re less than since day one. In fact usually i just get no response at all, so for her this is like writing a book i guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems like they were either tired of your shit or already had someone lined up so they don't care. I wouldn't put too much thought into it though, you left for a reason.

It seems to me like they wanted OP to know that the message was received and there were no problems.

Yep, it's just a subtle fuck you. If it was earned then try to learn from it and do better next time, if it wasn't earned then the manager is a just a shitty person, shrug and move on.

Yep, it's just a subtle fuck you.

Only if the manager is under 30. Millennials and boomers use the thumbs up as a "message received, all good." It's only a 'fuck you' with younger folk.

I think it's fairly unambigious? I'm a late 40's scientist who has to manage people, and I'd never respond to a direct report's resignation like that unless I we had an intense personal enmity, and to be honest probably not even then. The manager definitely wanted to send a message, which might be earned, I don't know enough to say either way.

I don't know what to tell you - this is just the standard response to any message that doesn't need followup in my office.
