Manager's reply to employee's resignation goes viral: 'Resignation accepted but remember...'
A resignation letter has gone viral on X. Taking to the microblogging platform, an X user shared a screenshot of a resignation email that has resonated a lot with netizens. The screenshot shows a person announcing his resignation and thanking the company for their support. The manager’s thoughtful reply has gone viral.
The manager replied that his resignation is accepted but he would be welcomed back should he ever think of returning.
“Remember, the door is always open for you to come back.”
The tweet became viral with over 40K likes. Many netizens appreciated the maturity and professionalism of the manager.
One X user wrote: “Short, zero-drama resignation + polite 'door's always open' reply. Peak maturity. The 'to me' thing is probably just how the screenshot was taken, but the exchange is clean as hell..”
Another reflected how this is the ideal situation regarding resignations. Ideally no bridges are burned and there is no lingering resentment over the employee leaving. The comment read: “This is how it should be. It’s always disappointing when someone leaves throwing a grenade behind them to burn all bridges. Same with employers taking it personally and making things difficult. You never know when paths cross again.”
Yet another X user praised the mutual respect from both the employee and the manager and how no one was throwing hissy fit or being passive aggressive over the entire affair. They wrote: “Employee: “I quit immediately. Boss: “The door is always open. Short, respectful, zero drama. Corporate people really overcomplicate resignations with long emotional letters when this does the job perfectly.
Peak professional maturity. Simple and cold.”
