Resignation Via E-Mail

Nurses General Nursing

Published

A nurse sent out a scathing e-mail yesterday, copying in everybody, including the Chief Medical Officer, tendering her official resignation and slamming her supervisor for playing favorites (among other things). While it was tacky, it was basically true, for she quit for the same reasons I left this same department last year. The higher-ups shut down the mail server in an attempt to block her e-mail, but it didn't work. Democracy works! :smokin:

Specializes in Case Management, Home Health, UM.

She did get another job...with a pay increase and a generous sign-on bonus. And, by the way, the supervisor in which she slammed in her e-mail, is transferring to another department as of September 3. Interesting...... :idea:

The internet is used for everything anymore. I just received a rejection letter for a position that I applied for at a local college. I thought that it was a rather tacky way to notify a person about a job. Just my opinion.

Fuzzy :rolleyes:

Yep..my thoughts exactly. Never burn bridges behind you.

True. Besides, people who are jerks (like the nurse's supervisor) never realize they are jerks, or if they do, they don't care. Even if everything and more this nurse said in the email is true, the bosses will now just think of her as a wack job.

You can't change these kinds of people. Better just to exit gracefully.
