I just gave HR my two weeks notice. I decided to make it a short note thanking them for everything and telling them I would miss them. My first draft was a little different:
Dear Target pricks,
When I first came to this company, it was a different place. The workload wasn't nearly as stressful as it is now. The expectations weren't set so high, and none of the supervisors were enforcing illogical rules. In just a year's time, I've witnessed the store take a very drastic decline. Everywhere I look, every TM is complaining about how annoyed and stressed out they are. I don't want to have to come into that sort of environment every time I come to work. Seeing all of my coworkers so unhappy all the time is actually starting to bring me down. It's becoming a negative influence in my life, and that's the exact opposite of what Target is supposed to be. So here are my parting words---
To my STL: You always had the best intentions in mind and valued me more than most of the ETLs did. And because of that, I can overlook the fact that you chug that kool aid harder than a college kid chugs beers at a frat party.
To my ETLs: I can't say I agree with all of the rules you enforce, but I have to give you props for regularly pulling 10+ hour shifts 5 days a week. I might act completely different if I was under that kind of pressure, so I'm going to assume that all of you are much nicer people outside of work.
To my TLs: You basically do the ETLs work, so you deserve much higher recognition than you receive.
To my TMs: I would've left a long time ago if it weren't for all of you. What else can I say besides I love you guys? Except for that one TM. You know who you are, you creepy bastard. You can fuck off.
Love,
Bullselle
