I quit my job in June after struggling with my mental health there for nearly a year and being required to do everyone else's job when they decided to quit. It was a small medical office with 4 people in the office and an office manager who worked remote from another state (make that make sense). They had a tendency when they didn't like someone, to post their job on Indeed without telling them. After the doctor cornered me in an exam room to chew me out for everything I wasn't doing when I was literally doing everyone else's job, I had had enough and asked him when on Earth I had time to do all these other things he was wanting me to do. He apparently didn't like that, so I was the latest person to have their job posted. I had seen it, so it wasn't a surprise to me when people had started to call asking about their applications for my position. The second I was offered a new job somewhere else; I showed up before the office opened, resignation letter in hand, informing them that I understood that my quick resignation would leave them in a bit of a pickle, but that hopefully the many candidates calling about my position would be there to help soon. I ended my letter letting them know they had severe communication issues and to work on it. I'm not sure I'd have had as much gratification from hiring someone to handle my resignation as I had doing it myself. I've never been so proud of a letter as I was that one. I doubt it made much of a difference as I was only one of many, but DAMN did it feel good! Just had to share my little story. Thank you for all of the smiles the Mindbender brings!
