Woman leaves nightmare job with a handwritten 'sorry for your loss' letter

Lucia Hawley

A woman who left her toxic job for a better-paying role has gotten the perfect revenge on her boss via a witty resignation letter.

The electrician, named Amber, claims she was treated terribly by her "a--hole" boss, so she penned a letter of resignation on a bereavement card that read "sorry for your loss".

In a thread posted to Reddit, Amber shared the post writing, "You ever worked for a company that just treated you like s---? I received a job offer today for a dollar more than I asked for, my own van, and they'll sponsor me for school. I can't wait to give this to my boss tomorrow."

Amber then revealed the text within the card, which she kept simple and to the point — "It's me, I leave in two weeks."

In the comments, Amber says she predicted that her boss would ask her to resign immediately. She continued to explain that she had been underpaid and overworked.

In a follow-up post, the electrician revealed her bosses response to the letter, saying, "He read it aloud, gave a stank face, and just said 'ok'. He didn't tell me to leave so that means he wants me to work out my two weeks. He also didn't ask why I'm leaving."

Many users were quick to praise Amber's hilarious letter with one user writing, "Congratulations on your new job! And this is the best resignation letter I've ever seen."

Others questioned why she would even bother sticking out the two weeks, with one user writing, "I would give them a two day notice. I am quitting to-day!"
