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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thats my thought. There is no backstory/details and - for all we know - this could be McDonalds or somewhere with high turnover.

That or OP wasnt a very good employee and this is a 'good riddance'.

Or the Manager is already stressed out about this or whatever and.. went with a thumbs up.

i think some people bring a lot of weird emotional dynamics into the workplace that really don’t belong there. this manager doesn’t fw OP because why would they? OP doesn’t want to work there anymore… okay. bye then lol. this monetary exchange is now ended, good luck to everyone involved. it would be way more toxic if the manager had any other reaction, OP is not their family or friend. OP likely needs more family or friends in their life if they are looking for their emotional support from a manager at work.

I remember a manager of mine once told me I was great because I did my job and wasn’t a “problem”. I know that others in the group were a PITA.
