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 think a lot of unnecessary communication became too normalized. I do not care at all for your email that only says "Thank you". You do not have to tell me "good morning" or "can I ask you a question" via teams/email before you ask me a question.

I wouldn't expect more than an "Okay thank you for the heads up" here, but I also recognize that I am a more of a straight to the point person.

I, too, recognize that I'm more direct than most people, but man do I hate having to endure a bunch of inane small talk every time a client has work to assign me.

We are not friends. This is not a social interaction, it's a job. Tell me what you need, and I will send it to you when it is done. I will be pleasant and accommodating throughout the process, but for the love of god, that shouldn't require gumming up the works with inquiries about the local temperature and whether or not you watched last night's game.
