Resignation letter - would you put the reason why ?

[Oddcat]

My dd 20 has been in a job for 6 weeks and it’s intolerable, she’s working with someone who has known anger management problems and has been awful to her . They deliberately leave her out of conversations, dd isn’t allowed to make a cup of tea before this person gets in ‘in case she kicks off’ , this person watched while dd did a task , said it was ok and then berated her for doing it wrong , has told dd to shut her mouth and shut the fuck up . Said she hopes her cats come and shit in our garden . I’ve said dd should leave , all this has been going on while the manager is present and witnessed it all , in fact this person and the manager text each other across the desk and dd feels it’s about her .

So, would you write the reason why you are leaving in the resignation letter ?

No. Just write the bare minimum and get out of there. There’s nothing to be gained from telling them what they already know and aren’t acting on.

Nope. I’d put

Dear xxx

I write to render my resignation from the post of xx from (date).

I have learnt a lot in the short time I have been at xxx company which I will take forward with me.

Yours sincerely

Nope. Keep the letter simple but friendly.

What would it achieve? The manager is complicit so unless there is someone higher up then, although the bullying your DD has had to endure is absolutely not on, the best thing she can do is get out of the toxic environment before her mental health suffers.

Ok , plain and simple it is .

No way!!

Keep it simple and professional and cut her loses to leave.

Worth mentioning in an exit interview if she has one but not a resignation letter.

I think they’ll know why she’s leaving tbh.

Bobbiepin I very much doubt there’ll be an exit interview, the company isn’t run particularly professionally.

Never complain in a resignation letter, either raise a grievance with HR in advance, or bring it up in an exit interview.

What a horrible situation to be in. I wish your daughter all the best.

Thankyou, I told her to raise it with management when it all started , but dd said it would be pointless as their manager is part of the problem.

Personally I wouldn't waste my energy on people who hated me. Don't even make them think you've spent more that five minutes on writing the letter. Just write the shortest letter possible. The best revenge is to be indifferent.

Yes good point

revenge is for your daughter to get better job - has she found another one? finding work while you haven't got a job can be a bit more difficult - could she stick it a little while until she finds another one? Please tell her that some women club together in covens :) its not her its them - usually they are disappointed people who only get their jollies by sneering at others.

She hasn’t got another job to go to yet but has registered with some agencies , I really don’t think she can tolerate it any more.
