A dripping glass-full of water


This was my final resignation letter which I e-mailed to my bosses AB and CD last February 28, 2008, exactly one year and 9 days since I was accepted in the company Aboitizland.

Sir:

I could no longer serve better the HNT for ultimate reasons you were also aware of. I had already extended my patience beyond its limit, and I am afraid if I will stay further, it will only disorient my perspective and rob off my sanity. I was amazed I had worked here over a year, but it was so unlikely of me.

This has nothing to do with AB's declaration last Friday about me given the post on LC, for this was unplanned and I was just waiting for series of events leading to this drastic decision. There are parts of my job that I could no longer capable of, like the legal matters that most of the time gave me severe headaches. I am always distracted by these; hence I could not effectively perform some of my daily duties and functions. I already exerted all my time and effort, but it seems it wasn't helping.

I am sorry for this. The only reason why I stayed up a little bit longer on my job is that I had great and very supportive superiors. Working here does no longer give me a sense of fulfillment and achievement. It has been told that working here is very challenging; I highly disagree with this idea. It is no longer a challenge if it has no purpose at all and when it already drains you out of your youth, energy and enthusiasm. It has been told also that being here is a test of character; I extremely opposed it, for all I learned is hatred and confusion. Well, one year here in HTN was almost an eternity of hell in my life.

Much had been said. This is my final decision.

I will no longer report in HTN starting tomorrow. I will de-stress my mind and put everything back onto its proper perspective. Worry not; I will continue working on my deliverables until its completion and rest assured everything will be into its proper places, as I am already preparing for this since then. Once again, I am really sorry if I could no longer wait for my replacement.

Just give me a ring if you are still interested on me for the new position or not, despite my rudeness, impolite and discourteous way of tendering resignation, so I can entertain other career opportunities.

Yours,

Red


Note:
You might wonder what things could have led to this drastic deed. I will share it one by one sooner or later in a collection of stories: HTN Series.
