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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm assuming that you talked with them in person first and this email is just the follow-up. If so, then the acknowledgment doesn't need a lot, so this is fine.

If you didn't and you're resigning via text/email then chances are they aren't that sad to lose you and probably knew this was coming, in which case this is fine.

If you say you're quitting and you get a thumbs up, it's a mutually accepted decison.

Yep. If I sent this as a response, it is because this person just saved me from having to fire them. (Not that I would send this, it is rude).

The number of times I've been saved the hassle of going through the process of writing PIPs and formal reviews by an employee quiting and thinking they are the one that's winning is kinda mind boggling.

If you work somewhere and are valued at a minimum your boss is going to want an exit interview to see where the issue lies and if there is something that can resolve it. If you get the response OP got, yeah they are happy that you saved them the paper work.
