Resignation Letters

Never had to write one before, but in a few weeks, I (after 2.5 years) will be quitting Loblaws to work at the new Blockbuster in Collingwood.
What's appropriate for a letter of resignation? I know I declare my two weeks notice, etc., but what else?
I did a Google, but most of what I could find was templates for full-time career office-type jobs. |

Why would you want to write a letter of resignation? When I used to work at Dominion back in the day, I just said "I don't want to work here anymore" and they said, "ok". |

"I Quit...Bitches"
Done, and Done...
there are subtle variations :
"I Quit...Mothafckers"
"Imma Quit...you heathen swines"
"I Quit...you cheap bastards"
you get the point... :haha: |

Do What I did with my last job..
I stopped showing up.. They got the message eventually...
Well it all depends on how that Job treated you. If they treated you well just tell them u are giving your 2 weeks notice if not.. read the first thing I wrote. :D |

Screw writting a letter, make it more interesting by just wigging out on your last day, like say you're working in the produce isle, pick up a few stacks of celery and beat the closed person standing next to you with them...
Pick up the cauliflower and start rolling it down the isle, pretending to use them as bowling balls hurtling towards some imaginary pins....
Build a huge fort out out of those mega sized toilet roll packs, and barracde yourself in it...tell your boss, you'll only come out if they pay you $1,000,000 in a golden nest egg, or if they free palestine (one or the other only -- cause both are impossible to achieve)
letters are sooooo passe, make it interesting, create a situation where the Swat team is called in, and there's at least a few hundread red dots on your chest...then, smile, and calmly hand them the REAL letter of resignation....
and scream...." I QUIT, BITCHES !!!" |

^^^ lol :D
IMHO, the single most important thing to do is give plenty of notice...2 weeks is the bare minimum...3 or 4 is even better, but whatever.
You don't want to burn any bridges, regardless of whether or not you'd entertain the idea of going back in the future...after all, they will still be an employment reference for you.
Assuming that you didn't hate your job or your manager...I'd suggest something short and to the point, but also polite and appreciative. A short paragraph in which you thank them for the opportunity they provided to you, that you've enjoyed your time there and that you wish them continued success.
It's definitely NOT necessary to say why you're leaving...and if they ask, you can simply say that another oppotunity has come up, and while it's hard to leave your position, it was something that you couldn't pass up...period. |
