RE: Notice of resignation
Boss,
This memorandum serves as notification of my resignation from the position of Information Technology Manager for the [company]. My last day will be April 6, 2007.
I have decided I can no longer work under your supervision. I do not believe you are fully aware of my worth to the company. While I do not expect gratitude, I will no longer accept regular criticism of my loyalty, dedication, and competency. In the nine-months I have been employed here, I have more than proven my benefit to this organization. If you still feel, among other things, that I prioritize for my own benefit and not for the [company], then you still do not see my work for what it is. I will no longer deal with the friction this regularly causes.
In the interest of giving [the company] time to find a replacement and allow for a proper knowledge transfer, I am providing the organization the professional courtesy of a four-week notice. Please contact me if you require me to leave earlier.
Thank you for the experience of working with the [company]. It is unfortunate my experience here was not more positive.
IT Manager
