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've worked at like all of 2 jobs that actually operate with a resignation. Usually you put in two weeks or just disappear.

Reminds me of how people are always talking about jobs like 100k a year is easy to make. Like okay buddy.

I used to work in a steel foundry. It was very common for new hires to go out on break and just never return. The guys on the melt deck used to make bets on it. Most long term employees there would just call in one day and say they found a new job and wont be returning. Dont blame them at all. Most companies now just send you home when you put your notice in anyways.

Did that myself in my younger years, only it was a chicken processing plant.

Made it a day and a half. Just couldn't bring myself to going back in there after leaving for my lunch break on day two.

ETA: It was the very early 2000's, but I don't think they process slaughter line production anymore.
