I actually quit by email, though it wasn't my intention. I was offered the position in Jersey and came to visit to see if it was something I wanted. My boss and coworkers knew that I was coming up and why. On the evening that I took the position I sent a quick email to the boss. I let her know that I had decided to take it and that I would do whatever she needed for the next 35 days to help fill my position, but we would discuss it further when I was back. She responded with, "Well, I guess that's that. Good luck to you in the future." Now, you must understand, this job was a group of people that traveled together, living in hotels for 10 months out of the year. We were all like family. I didn't even get a "sorry you are leaving" after 7 years. So, we didn't discuss it further. I didn't seek and train a replacement. I worked three more weeks and then requested my last two as my vacation time. The people who worked with and for me threw me a party, but the higher up folks never said a word. It's amazing how quickly they turn on you when it's time to move on. In retrospect, I am glad I sent the email. It showed me what she and those above her are made of.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than
f**ckin' perfect!
