How would you reply to this text, if at all?

I had a very part-time job I've been doing for a year. It only pays me £200 per month.

I decided to resign this week after yet another day in the office with a colleague who just makes me feel I'm doing every single thing wrong, all the time. I'm not a delicate or paranoid person who can't handle constructive criticism (I'm well over 50 and have worked in loads of different quite stressful jobs all my life) but this person's first response is that I've done something wrong - even if I haven't.

I have made the odd mistake but I've had precisely 0 training on the computer system and I work so infrequently that I (for example) once forgot the alarm password and had to phone her to check it.

Anyway. I thought nah, fuckit, I don't need the hassle for £200 per month. I have a main job which pays me quite well. So I emailed my resignation to my boss. My colleague has texted me today to say "Sorry to hear you're leaving!".

Would you reply or not?

Nah, don't waste your time. Sod them!!

Nope, just ignore.

No, there’s no question in the message and nothing to respond to. They either want to try get some gossip out of you about why you’re leaving or they just want to be able to say to others at work ‘oh of course I sent Julie a text, we’ll miss her so!!!’

Just delete the message.

You can safely leave that on read i think. You're not friends, she might be being sarcastic, and you are leaving. Good decision looking after yourself there!

Who's this?. And block.

I would reply as there seems no need to burn a bridge here, just with something bland.

nope

I agree, I wouldn't burn bridges unnecessarily but reply with the bare minimum, i.e. "thanks for your message, all the best with everything"

No response is a response

I’d reply with a ‘Thanks’ and leave it at that.

I'd reply with 'thanks' too

Reply

I had to. I couldn't cope with your halitosis.

'I find that hard to believe.'

I would reply: Thank you for your message. Polite but formal also shows that they contacted you initially and that you are replying

Reply: byeee biatchhhh 👋 ✌️

This, if anything.

Send the thumbs up. 👍😁

'Are you????'

Nah, I like the pp with a thumbs up.

Like you said your 50+ years will have taught you want when and how to respond to people situations. Along with the not saying what you really want to. High ground and all that.

BUTT I know age also teaches us not to give a FUCK!

'I hope my replacement if as nice as you are'
