You can’t just take a resignation letter as a request. The decision has already been taken. They are leaving, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Deciding to leave a job position after years is really hard, especially if you don’t have a backup yet. It takes guts to stand up to your boss and say, “This is my resignation letter. I’m leaving in a couple of weeks”. Is hard, it takes pride, and it’s extremely valuable. You have the right to leave your job, and doing so with notice is great. You avoid leaving on bad terms, and you even offer to train the person who will take your place. It shows character.
The story below shows us a person with enough pride and courage to do this. To tell their boss they were leaving in a couple of weeks. But instead of the boss reacting normally with an “okay” or a “good luck!” They just got a childish manager who decided to respond to the letter with “I need a few weeks to let him know his thoughts on it.” What? There is nothing to think about. The decision is made, the letter has been sent, and the employee is leaving. That’s it. There is nothing to think about nor anything to express the manager’s thoughts on. The employee is leaving, and that is finalized. He was just kind enough to let his boss know beforehand so he could start interviewing people for the position.
The fact that the boss did this instead of simply saying goodbye proves the employee is making the right decision by leaving. He is separating himself from a toxic boss and workplace that couldn’t even handle an open position professionally. And what makes everything worse is the fact that the new hire that is taking his place is going to actually get a better salary and a better job description.
This employee should have left before. Staying at a company where not even your boss values you enough to give you a raise, but they don’t hesitate to do it for a new hire, is proof that you are better off. Go on to your new adventure and forget everything about this toxic job.Â
